**Please note - made a mistake with Coleman, his number will probably be closer to $4 mil**

I am not a Leafs fan - this is from an outside perspective. I have given the reasoning behind the CGY trade which I actually think makes sense for both teams as CGY is increasingly looking at making some sort of big move to their core.

Hyman is resigned - which I believe works well for the team. Coleman & Haula are free-agency additions. I believe Coleman brings in a similar skill set as Hyman, which I think would make him a great pairing with Tavares and Nylander.

In terms of the CGY trade, I can see some comments coming about CGY possibly having to give up more, but I think the Marner contract hurts that with the flat cap for the next few years. The 1st rounder is an extra that Dubas can use at the tradeline to address any issues as he sees fit.

I considered a Seth Jones trade, but his underlying numbers are awful and would present issues with the Leafs as they are constructed. I also considered Ottawa - a Marner for Chabot type of swap, but I could not justify it from Ottawa's point of view.

Comments are welcome, but let's keep it civil all!
