Agree this is one of the most realistic teams I've seen. just sad because this isn't a cup contender. Another tough year full of disappointment coming up for us Leaf fans.

Coyotes likely aren't giving up Garland, he's on one of the best valued deals in the league.

& "Sens left side is weak" ... lmao.. Chabot, Brannstrom, Boro Cop, Lajoie.. they need more righties, not lefties. They also aren't likely to give up Batherson. He's one of their top prospects

Let me preface this with, yes this is decent...but the Sens willingness to move Batherson will be close to zero. He's cost controlled, where as Dermott needs to be signed...and for that reason only, it'll never happen.

Not realistic if you think youre prying Batherson away with spare parts.

OTT declines

You’re not getting Batherson unless you overpay. Why would a 4th liner and 3rd pair dman interest us at all while rebuilding, let alone for one of our best prospects

Garland is an RFA with 1 year left saying he's on one of the best valued deals in the league is like comparing him to Mackinnion, you're reaching on that one. Also he expires after next season and Kapenan & Johnsson are signed to multi year deals along with having strong kill sets.

Now this this where your comment becomes embarrassing. Chabot is OTT's #1 D, obviously. Brannstrom is a rigthy, ?????. Boro is a ufa who knows if he's coming back. Lajoie isn't as good as Dermott may never be either. OTT's left side is hurting on pairs 2 and 3. Batherson is a reach, that's why I said add picks to make it work or alternatively go for Formenton.

What about Formenton? What would he fetch?

I had Dermott in as a sign and trade, but I agree otherwise. What about formenton?

How about formenton?

Nah for this you like, might get Abramov at best, but like we probably just don’t do it. We don’t need LHD and Engvall isn’t overwhelmingly appealing

Ya I just don't see it. OTT has no intention of being much better next year, besides whatever happens in terms of internal growth. Right now Dorian and Melnyk are all about young and controllable players...

Brannstrom shoots left, but plays the right side because it's weaker and they needed to add strength on it.
