And then our unfired management would give him a nice steak, cause without 50% retention that contract could be crippling
The cap recapture if he retires early is still on Nashvilles hands, however we'd definitely need some retention.

Maybe Vanek from Buffalo to NYI...and then later getting traded to MTL as well?
Can't see him retiring before 2023, my concern is the three years before that and having an 8 million dollar 4-5 d man dragging us down

Weber has also been coasting on his reputation the past couple seasons. He isn't the player he used to be
Absolutely.

Funny enough think, since LA is looking to try and be a bit competitive, JVR could perhaps be part of an enticing package for them.

God yes
Then I'd trade Bozak and put Galchenyuk at 3C as the offensive sheltered center

Yeah, that may be the only trade in recent times to happen.
The Sabres got Matt Moulson (who at the time was scoring at a pretty good clip) a 1st & a 2nd.
What happen last year when they were split up? With Nylander clearly hitting another level this year splitting them up It could be argued improves the team.
Marner needs help and I truly believed a long time ago that the transition of Nylander to center would shift Marner on to Mathews wing.
I don't mind Bozak on this team but IMO if the Leafs looked like this right now
Hyman - Mathews - Marner
Komorov - Kadri - Marleau
Leivo - Nylander - Brown/ Kapenen
Martin - Fehr/Moore/- Brown/ Kapenen
They would be very much a better team.
JVR & Bozak aren't as important to this team currently not to mention moving to the future. So why not move to the future? It looks bright IMO.

Any reason why Marner shouldn't get consideration for the #3C position if Bozak is moved? 14 of 18 on the dot so far.
Imagine a third line of Marleau-Marner-Kapanen with both JVR and Bozak traded. Absolutely torch other teams with their speed. Just reunite Brown with Kadri and Komarov...

Nielsen is someone I would add to a deal to help sweeten the pot.
We've got:
Rielly, Gardiner, Borgman, Dermott and possibly even Valiev as better options. On the point of Valiev, he's looking good again this year - injuries really affected his past season.

Guys don’t worry, I was playing NHL 18 and I built a team that won 2 cups in a row in Be A GM.
Traded Bozak for a first and a third
Traded JVR for a first, second, and some no name prospect
Traded both the firsts I got from the above trades and Dermott for Duchene
Traded our first and second for Tanev
In both 2017-18 and 2018-19 I ran:
Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Duchene - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Brown
Martin - Moore - Kapanen
Reilly - Tanev
Gardiner - Zaitsev
Hainsey - Carrick
Andersen
Pickard
After that my team was completely screwed for the cap and I quit.

I'd maintain the 2nd scoring line by making it Marleau-Nylander-Leivo, and then have Brown go back with Kadri and Komarov and have Soshnikov /Rychel as the 4th liner. Call up Marincin to be our 7th/8th defenseman.
i suppose the reason could be he didnt stick there in jnr cant see babs going for that, Meanwhile Nylander has played C in the SHL, AHL and 23 games in his 1st season in the NHL and also is doing pretty great on the draws this season too, while taking far more. Oh and babcock has said willy will be a C, whether he sticks to that i dont know but at the same time he flat out said NO to marner being a C

I do not think Marner has the game to be a center in the NHL. Even when he was drafted you could tell he was probably not going to be one, and from that one point he was a RW. Maybe he comes in once in a while, but besides that it's unlikely.

Although it puzzles me why a trade hasn't happened, I would say that a trade at last year's TDL would have the best way to gain assets from moving JVR. And a TDL deal this year seems not likely. Who knows, but at this point, I have to wonder if its not happening.

I'd be willing to take the gamble for him straight up if we think that he could be a centre.

Even if he isn't a center, he fits the "sheltered" line in place of JVR.
Galchenyuk...C...Marner
I think he is much like JVR, only younger. His D is suspect and Habs fans question his IQ sometimes. Skating average. Again, younger and signed. His strength is probably offense/scoring goals, not the rest of the game (which appears average).

yeah thats true, although i think a lot of habs fans have said that he plays better at right wing (his offside)
