Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

OK so lots of Muzzin v. Rielly talk today. I know I started a bunch of it. I'm going to put a big swing of a roster together here. This would follow the Pens/Blackhawks mold of spending big on the star players and finding the cheap secondary pieces. As always this is not me saying I know best or this is the only solution just an option out there.

This is the solutions-by-UFA approach.
Pietrangelo is a big fish and this would be a massive swing to land him but would give the Leafs the stability of a TRUE top pairing for the first time in years. Bilyalov is the UFA solution to the goaltending problem - you could go the Stalock route too. Engelland is insurance in-case of injury or if Liljegren is not ready.

Let me know your thoughts. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to this move but it will keep the Leafs very tight to the cap for years to come. There is a fair bit of organizational depth waiting in the wings that I feel like the 4th and 3rd line and 5/6d will be fine playing on ELCs and low-dollar deals for a while to come though.
