you're underrating Brown & whoever of Johnsson/Kapanen/Leivo/Grundstrom emerges, and I doubt the Leafs management acquired a big name UFA to diminish the returns on what they already have - it'll be the 4th line whose minutes get hurt. Kadri will get a downgrade in linemates because he loses Marner, but will also get much better matchups
I'm also not totally certain Marner/Tavares will stick together. Marner and Kadri worked so well together and that allows them to roll three potent lines. I think if Grundstrom is ready he'll be on JT's left side, he works well with net front guys
