That starts with Nylander.It would make some sense for TOR if they did a big blockbuster to get RD David Savard and Artemi Panarin. You get Panarin to go “all in” this year. You also add a top 4 RHD for your defense long-term.
That’d be a deal that made sense to give up the Price for Panarin.
Leafs would cap room as well. Send Ron Hainsey the other way, and TOR could fit Horton and the bonus overage under the cap as well.
You're not getting our best player and our only true RD behind Jones for spare parts, 1 year or no.
