Dubas has something brewing. How the Leafs have been managing their goalies, his trip out to Russia, the constant scouts from Carolina in attendance at Leaf games.
I truly believe he will be making some deals for a dman and for some grittier players for the forward group. I believe he and Babcock know they cannot win with this group.

I see deals that would address both issues:
Carolina - Pesce, Ferland
Philly - Gudas, Simmonds
Minnesota - Spurgeon, Foligno
Arizona - Hjalmarsson, Crouse
We would likely have to give up:
1st rounder
2 prospects (one of Bracco, Grundstrom, Timashov; one of Borgman, Rosen, Holl)
Roster player (Johnsson, Brown, Zaitsev)
What would Leafs fans move for Simmonds+Gudas(50% retained)?
Gudas would have one more year left at 1.675M.
This would all be dependent on what kind of return Philly is looking for. Futures? Help now? Or a combo of both?
personally I'm not interested in either player, better options out there imo, it might cost more, but nothing worth having comes cheap.What would Leafs fans move for Simmonds+Gudas(50% retained)?
Gudas would have one more year left at 1.675M.
Probably wouldnt be interested in Simmonds. What would it look like with just Gudas?Would hope for Kapanen or Lilijegren/Sandin+1st.

Find a better fit.I’d think Lilijgren/Sandin/1st would have to be involved otherwise they could find a better fit.

That's going to be some terrible asset management for a team that hasn't won a playoff round yet.Yeaaaaah that's gonna be a no here chief.
If the Flyers can get that from another team they should take it and run as fast as possible. I doubt the Leafs will be that team to give up Kapanen, Liljegren or Sandin in this kind of trade.
The Leafs should be interested in Gudas and only him from the Flyers. Unless if the deal is expanded for dare I say Voracek?
Voracek (25% retained)
Simmonds
Gudas
for
1st Round pick '19
3rd Round pick '20
Brown
Johnsson
Durzi
Simmonds-Matthews-Nylander
Voracek-Tavares-Marner
Marleau-Kadri-Kapanen
Hyman-Goat-Lindholm
Gardiner-Reilly
Dermott-Gudas
Hainsey-Zaitsev
Voracek at 25% retained is still over 6 million for the next 6 years.
