Spent a lot of time thinking about signing Granlund instead, but I'd only want him at 4-4.75M and I don't think there's any way he comes that low. There's been rumors of a Risto->TOR move being pushed to the summer, and the more I think about it, the more it might work. I know a lot of Leafs ACGMs are moving Kapanen and Kerfoot like hotcakes, and I think they could fit in really well here. Toronto gets a physical, heavy minutes RHD who will do well if his partner can hit exit passed, along with a young stay-at-home RHD who can easily log 3rd pairing minutes. Dobber isn't too high on him, but his defensive play in Rochester has been excellent.

Cap hits are practically the same, Toronto gets to keep its big-4 together while making much needed improvements to their defensive right side.

I don't love the idea of Cozens in the NHL, but unless he can go NCAA for a year, I think a year in the WHL again will be a year wasted. I think playing with an vet like MoJo and a hustler/creator in Kahun will make it easier for him, compared to the awful lineups we had Mitts on.

Still plenty of money in the bank for Dahlin's contract.
