As a Leaf fan, I am disheartened to read about the possibility of them trading more futures for older players who are near the end of the line. Tanev is a very good defensive defender but he’s also 34 with a history of injury. They could bring in a bunch of players and they are still not going to win a Stanley Cup. Maybe one round

I say they run with what they have and reassess in the summer. Starting with moving Marner and exploring the possibility of buying out Tavares

Take a step or two back and go back at it again in a few years. It will be hard to do thanks to Dubas trading pretty much every pick and prospect that hadn’t been nailed down.
