Good call. I go beyond chili flakes into superhot pepper sauce.

Hot. Might lead to a runny run back!🥰

Signing Mike Hoffman, even at league minimum, would be insanely stupid.

I don't usually hate the players on my own team, I couldn't stand this guy.

Yes. But there are no useful centremen left out there.

People hated him when he was a 20+ goal scorer. Imagine when he's bumming it up with 10.

Just the third line one is a question mark

1: Matthews
2: JT
3: ?
4: Kampf

Christian Dvorak will look great there after the trade deadline.

It’s really not that big of a deal lol

Worst case scenario they put Domi in as the 3rd line C. Matthews, JT, and Kampf have the other three lines.

We already played this game

Lowry
Jenner
Sissons
Lundestrom

That goof with the hat can (frank) right off

For leaf haters it would lol

He’s defensively not worth picking up for that roll.

Please stop dreaming about the leafs rebuilding the rest of its roster. Unless there is some sort of Marner trade coming nothing overly notable will be occurring.

I would be inclined to take a chance on Nylander. Worst case scenario you waive him and he's a Marlie or gets claimed and moves on to his next team.

That said, we have offensive weapons. Really the Leafs should be looking for character, strength, size, battle and some intensity. I mean Sprong is interesting because he does a lot with very little ice time. Stephen Lorentz is interesting - he's 6'3 and a fast skater, but I think he's a lot of motion and very little substance. He does hit, though.

Guys like Kubalik, Hoffman and Pearson are all in decline or not projecting well. Kubalik is only 28 but that guy has the competitive fire of a glass of water.

Former exceptional status wash out Sean Day is available. He's 6'3 and 240lbs and full of the type of failed promise I've become accustomed to from my team's athletes.

The UFA pool is dry.

I'd move Kampf up to the 3rd line center and have Holmberg as my 4th line center.
If that doesn't work out then you go the trade route I guess

at a reduce cost of retained 50% for 7th or for futures

sounds like Aetherial on the corner of Jarvis and Church looking for a deal

Kampf absolutely sucked on the third line last year. Not good enough. They overpaid him hoping he could play that roll but he looked terrible until he was put back on the 4th line/PK roll.

Rebuilding?

We’re talking about adding a 3C

Hence the list

Washington is way over the cap. Get Strome and have them retain $800k. It's the draft-fecta. We have Marner who was #4, get Strome who was #3, then go get Eichel who was #2 - and then McDavid will feel that he should just come here.
