Kerfoot for Chiarot straight up? Even salary swap. Montreal needs help at C/W, we need a big tough D-man who can eat some hard minutes.
Draw up an NHL contract for Ho-sang.

Absolutely not.

In Muzzin I see a guy who is on cruise control. It looks like he has lost that fire. He plays softish compared to his past. Gets hurt often, does not fight to get back in the line up. I would actually use him if possible to move to get a guy that is actually like the guy he was 5 years ago. Wont be a popular opinion around these parts but I have had enough of his indifference. When is the last time he really got physical, I mean actually nasty?
Kerfoot has no value in trades & was one of our only good players last playoffs, also has insane speed. I would be surprised if he got traded. He's very much apart of our success this year on top of that. Having Kerfoot being able to play middle lineup and the 4 man unit with mikheyev kampf kase is just annoying as hell for any team when they have to deal with 2nd and 3rd line and all the interchangeable players with speed
We need D

So... Kerfoot is a good player in the playoffs, has insane speed, been a big part of our success, and having him on the roster makes us hard to deal with... but he has no trade value?
I'm sorry, this is an extreme logic fail. Somehow, it's doubtful that only Leafs fans, and leafs brass can see his value... Who cares what the rest of HF thinks, GM's around the league aren't as dumb as them.

He needs a strong partner who can support him physically. I wonder if he looks around and sees players who aren't the strong type come playoffs and it creates doubt in the value of his own sacrifice.
Obviously I'm just postulating, but I've seen it before in players who question the point. Putting potential bumps and bruises aside as a reason for lost interest.
His teammates have to convince him (fans have the same doubts) that they can play as they did last night against the Canes, and then some.
I'm seeing Marner play a little more like a Hyman or Bunting, but with his skill set and vision. Guys like him have to let the trench-like players such as Muzzin know that "I am ready to be in the trenches with you, especially this post season".
Then keep their word. Don't back down. Don't fear the opponent.
I'm big on the psychology of athletes.. Players know who is giving their all, willing to go through a wall and who is holding back.
If Muzzin sees others standing up for one another, fighting back and getting into dirty areas etc, it will encourage him to continue to sacrifice knowing it isn't for naught.
He is competitive and wants to win. If he is healthy, he has years of strong, tough hockey left. Another like him would be gold.

I’m more and more liking the idea of Chychrun.
But is there a way to get him including Ritchie and not losing Sandin or Liljegren?

I would give up either of them for Chychrun. Dude is young and is already a top pairing D. Would be an insane top 4 with him Rielly and Brodie.
You don't trade Marazek now unless you have a trade lined up for somebody else because you don't want to be 1 injury away from Woll and Hutchinson that's not a good idea

Truth! Pretty sad goaltending depth really. Always been a problem for the Leafs
Goaltending depth as it currently stands is pretty good.
Campbell
Marazek
Woll
Is pretty good especially since Woll was solid when called upon.
But I still don't want a guy with 4 career games as the backup even If he Is 3-1.
We need a legit 2nd pairing RD. Holl is insanely, ridiculously terrible. WAYYYYYY too many plays like this by him this year:
A 13 year old dman knows he’s got to take the pass there, but Holl somehow manages to cover nobody, and he pulls equally terrible plays constantly.
Our team is otherwise really good, a legit contender, but Holl is a glaring weakness. It’ll be real tough to get though Tampa and/or Florida with Holl dragging down the 2nd pairing.

I wish to repeat my wish to find a veteran playoff goalie. Too bad Rask couldn't get his game back and retired, if he ever would've been open to "coming home."

Yeah he was pointing out the fact that "hey look! that guy is probably going to shoot and score!"
Pre-season I thought this would be the year to hold onto their 1st and still think so.
Map out the Leafs contract situation for the next ~2-3 years+; becomes clear that the ’23 or ’24 1st rd would be more attractive to move, as TOR will likely need to make another impact D addition (ala LA trade) due to the internal options all being quite similar stylistically and Muzzin’s role needing to be replaced eventually.
With numerous big contracts to older players (JT, Brodie, Muzzin), there’s also the outside possibility that they need to dump a negative value contract using a 1st as well. Need to prepare for that reality and after not drafting in the first round twice, now is a good opportunity to replenish some futures while still icing a contender.
IMO F & D alternatives that provide depth and might not cost a 1st:
Would much rather chase Lindholm in FA than deplete half a decades worth of futures for Chychrun too, but would not be opposed to using Mikheyev to dip into a higher tier add.
