To be fair 2 of those 3 aren't adds they were already Leafs
Of course, my point was that none of them were playing when they reeled off seven straight wins. They need to be worked back into the roster and will bump guys out creating more depth.
I think Jarnkrok coming back already has Robertson as a scratch. Lyubushkin caused is to put Gio on LTIR rather than maybe just IR. Woll has us carrying three goalies now so we don't lose Jones on waivers.
I guess my point is that we need to add actual upgrades and not just depth players. If we acquired a forward without giving one up we would have to put someone on waivers. Probably Gregor at this point. Sure, fine...whatever. We would also ha e to take someone out of the starting lineup. Probably Reaves at this point...that's a pretty decent fourth line they have right now though and Reaves might be useful in a series against Florida or Boston.
On D, whoever we get needs to be better than Rielly, McCabe, Brodie, Liljegren, Benoit, and Lyubushkin or Giordano.
If course there are forwards and D better than the guys we are knocking out of the lineup here and we need depth too. However with this in mind and cap implications I think we need to think through what type of add is worth the acquisition cost.
