For me, I'm being patient. Next year we press go and trade the farm. We're still in "exceeding expectations" phase. Hand and maybe a couple of other band aids that make us feel good is all I want this year.

Including Kessel's $1.2m, it's $2.2m. Assuming that right now you have 7D including Sandin & Liljegren (Sandin is the only waiver exempt defenseman and I expect him in the top-6) - we'll lose Liljegren if we waive him to the Marlies and 12F (including the new acquisitions of Kampf & Bunting, but not Amadio and Gabriel) which would assume Brooks is the 4C, we have $2.24m in space. If we sign someone to replace one of those roles, we can make room up to around $3m if we demote the replaced player to the Marlies. The only forward that we have that is waivers exempt is Robertson, and that projection does not include him on the roster. - Monkeypunk
The 2.25 assumes 12F so if the move one (eg. Engvall) in order to upgrade then you've got the 2.25 + the exiting salary (1.25).
Not much left in the free agent pile (Ritchie, Heinen ...). I'm sure he's sniffing around in the "players teams might want to move" pile. Would CLB eat a little salary to move Domi and get some modest stuff back?

Then the habs go after another top player on the leafs.
I wasnt a fan of what foligno did, but it close out any retribution and any possible further stupid plays. By all accounts, it got the players back in the game and by the end of the 1st the leafs were flying again.
He was also great with the leafs the first 5 games, had several points and fit in well. - Fakepartofme
In terms of effective revenge. Taking a good hard run at Price would have been more effective than giving a third line player a few noogies. Weber and company would have been running around retaliating the rest of the game. When a top six player is injured, its hardly retribution to go after the slug that did it, you have to at the minimum take out something of equal value. Someone steals $100K from you, it 's not retribution to ask for cab fare.

Max Domi + salary retention for Engvall and Dermott?

I agree, the damage by the bullpen is done. I've seen some terrible bullpens on the Jays over the years, this one is definitely the most frustrating. I saw a stat that the Jays have lost 26 games this year that they were leading after 5 innings. Win even half of those and the Jays are in a playoff spot.
It was his fault that he made little effort and made no contribution. As Wedgie stated to give Perry a couple of shots after what happened to JT was stupid. A much more effective way to even the score would have been to go after the top player on the Habs. Maybe frowned upon, but it would have been smarter and more effective. - winsix
I don't think he put in less effort on purpose. I personally think he's a little older and injuries got the best of him.

He took extra time to get into the lineup in the regular season (played only 7 games) it was more than required by protocols - Family and travel reasons were given.And he
missed several playoff games. Leafs paid big to get him, he didn't return the favour.

The LWs I'd be looking into would be Saad (probably too much), Bertuzzi, olofsson and Ritchie. Ideally get Ritchie and one other and have something like olofsson, bunting and Ritchie on the left side. Have to move out kerfoot and Dermott (maybe something else?) to make it work.
Could work if Kampf can play 3C and have Brooks and Spezza split 4C.
Of Kampf struggles at 3c we have another issue lol

You know one of his kids has/had a serious illness right? He had to leave them behind completely and he missed maybe one extra game because of his travel.
Like he wanted to be here. He wanted to win. He just couldn't and I think it's due to injury based on what he said in his brief interview on TSN yesterday.

He seems like a genuine guy. He was very disappointed that he didn’t do more for the Leafs.
