Where does the cap come from to sign Gardiner? Seems way to optimistic that we dump Zaitsev and Trade Marleau in the same offseason. Brown for sure can get a 2nd+, we might be able to deal Marleau if be waives his NMC. Just cant see us finding a suitor for zaitsev. Also would rather see Bracco in the lineup after his dominant season in the ahl then bringing back Ennis. The kid deserves to be on the team and if he can shift to LW he would be able to take Moores spot.This Year:
Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Moore - Tavares - Kapanen
Hyman - Kadri - Nylander
Ennis - Marleau - Brown
Muzzin - Rielly
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Hainsey
Next Year:
Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Moore - Tavares - Kapanen
Hyman - Kadri - Nylander
Ennis - Gauthier - Marchment
Muzzin - Rielly
Dermott - Gardiner
Sandin - Liljegren

Have decent amount of trust in the guy after the muzzin deal and hopefully more good news to follow with the Matthews deal coming soon. However dumping our two worst contracts seems like a miracle that may be putting too much pressure on dubas. If he pulls it off that is amazing, but I would be really happy with him if he found a way to trade one of them. Still got months and hopefully a cup run left before we gotta worry about the offseason.trust in the dubes
Pretty sure they're going to try and see if they can switch people over.If Leafs add a top 4 RHD, who does Babcock play on the bottom pair with Dermott, Zaitsev or Hainsey?
Gardiner Rielly
Muzzin _______
Dermott _________
Marincin Ozhiganov
Maybe, but in that scenario, who are you picking?Pretty sure they're going to try and see if they can switch people over.
We'll see, the people already mentioned are Muzzin, Rielly, Dermott. I'm guessing Muzzin gets tried out there.Maybe, but in that scenario, who are you picking?
I hear a lot of 'move Rielly to the right side'... Is it just me, or does he not already play more on the Right side than Hainsey does...
Agree with this. I would like him on the 4th line to replace Lindholm. Trade one for one.I would make one more minor trade to bring in Maroon or a similar player. Just a vet who can play and stick up for guys on an at need basis.
Seems many are inserting Gudas into these pairings. Is he really worth making yet another withdrawal from our draft pick reserves?
Where’s marleau going?This Year:
Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Moore - Tavares - Kapanen
Hyman - Kadri - Nylander
Ennis - Marleau - Brown
Muzzin - Rielly
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Hainsey
Next Year:
Johnsson - Matthews - Marner
Moore - Tavares - Kapanen
Hyman - Kadri - Nylander
Ennis - Gauthier - Marchment
Muzzin - Rielly
Dermott - Gardiner
Sandin - Liljegren
How about this combo?
Gardiner ~ Rielly
Muzzin ~ Hainsey
Dermott ~ Zaitsev
I'd switch Muzzin and Gardiner personally. Let's Gardiner and Rielly both have a little more leeway in the offensive end.
it'll almost certainly be
Muzzin - Rielly
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Dermott - Hainsey
what's fun, though, is that the the PK pairs will likely be
Hainsey - Zaitsev
Muzzin - Rielly
which means that we're going to see plenty of a Dermott-Gardiner pairing on the shifts after PK situations, and who knows, if they can impress in those minutes, maybe that becomes the 2nd pairing full time, with Hainsey-Zaitsev the bottom pair.
