Marleau trade I still being the logical outcome. The California teams don't want the cap hit and the Leafs don't want to give up a ton of assets. Ottawa buys out Marleau, making him a UFA and he can do what he wants.

Devils want RHD and RW. Zacha is redundant there with Hughes coming, and Zajac and Hischier also down the middle. I think he's a great fit in Toronto.

With RD I think you either go big to get a big name with term or you get a small offseason upgrade, then maybe look to upgrade again at the deadline. The UFA class for 2020 is excellent and you want to make sure you can be a player in that area. Grabbing Hamonic kind of splits the difference. I think he would play well with Rielly.

The UFA's are all just depth signings (don't have to be the right names, it's just likely we will need a few guys who can play 2nd/3rd pairing minutes until at least Dermott comes back). There's not enough cap space to bring Gardner back unless more forwards are moved out.

There are a few spots that Marlies guys would fit for, I could see Engvall making the roster as a 4c or Petan beating somebody out. Whoever goes down will likely be because they are waiver exempt. Especially since one of those guys will be heading down when Hyman is back. Bracco sticks if he can upgrade his play in the defensive zone.

A goalie to challenge Sparky in the preseason makes sense.
