Tampa won back to back cups and good for them.

They have had their team ripped apart this off season though.

Savard
Johnson
Goodrow
Coleman
Gourde

They signed Elliott for back up for 900k.

I bet they are wishing they'd had the inside track on Michael Bunting after all this.

Biggest issue I have is if Muzzin goes down.

I'll accept Holl is a top 4 defenseman when paired with Muzzin. But then Muzzin gets hurt and Holl goes back to being a #5 and we are euchred.

Savard would have been nice insurance at 3.5.

Holl is a four and a half. Spend against a what if or spend against existing holes

Michael Amadio, signed 1x$0.75 by TOR, is a fourth liner with some two-way upside. #LeafsForever https://t.co/JXiCvkC82v

I'd prefer to spend more $$$ on the defense.

Which would improve the defense, and also ensure that the team doesn't implode when Muzzin gets hurt.

I think the law of diminishing returns applies to Matthews/Marner line. I don't see them being wildly more successful with a 3.5 million LWer rather than a cheap 1-1.5 million LW.

But I do see massive value in adding another top 4ish RHD.

Entire point is moot of course. It's pretty clear the defense is set.

The Soo connections are a bit silly now, no? (yes, yes, he didn't play for the Soo OHL squad... but still!)

I'm curious why Carolina didn't offer the full 8 years. I'm also wondering what kind of crack they are smoking there these days.

He’s going to get 8-9 easy, maybe the Leafs still looking at him.

Paul Bissonnette says we’re going to love him - pain in the ass to play against, great anticipation, goes to the paint, brings it every night.

Wait, that sounds familiar.

Leafs trade an 11th round pick for a rock.

Santo: excellent move, the rock has potential and 11th round picks are useless anyways.

Everyone else: *loses poop* Dubas trading 11th round picks again, ridiculous. This team is doomed blah blah blah.

Max: I painted my pet rock this morning something something Hyman is worth 10 million a year.

Leafs trade rock for 11th round pick.

Santo: excellent move rocks are useless.

Everyone else: Dubas is clueless that rock might pan out.

Max: derp, Hyman.

Yeah reality is somewhere in the middle.
