Équipe: 2021-22 Maple Leafs de Toronto

Date de création initiale: 30 juin 2021

Publié: 30 juin 2021

Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

First Signing:

Kyle Palmieri: Consistent 25 goal guy, Awesome possession numbers even being on a bad NJD he had solid stats, I see him playing anywhere is the leafs top 9. Main knock would be he's 30. Watching the Islanders play in this years playoffs made me want this guy, his series against tampa wasn't stellar but I liked his tenacity.

Contract was hard to figure out a value, I though signing him till he was 35 would give him some job security. Bad year or two at the end of his deal potential but the first 3 years should be great.

I went 4.2 x 5

Second Signing:

Mikael Granlund: A true centre, something the leafs desperately need in there bottom 6. If you wanted to argue that the leafs should be getting someone with more sandpaper at this position I wouldn't disagree but Granlund has had such good possession numbers over his career and a track record of being able to produce, I think that is worth more then say a Casey Cizikas or a different more gritty option. Granlund as your 3rd line centre would be depth that a lot of other teams can't match.

Hard to get a read on the market for Granlund as well, I felt 4x4 was in the ballpark

Third Signing:

Zach Bogosian: This guy was a rock for the leafs last year, I absolutely loved having him. He was worth every penny in my opinion, I'm bring him back for 1x3 if I can, give him some term to make him stay and if his ability falls of a cliff just bury the contract. No brainer in my opinion.

The leafs track record of signing Russian F/A's and giving them a long look to get acclimated to the NHL leads me to believe that Krill Semyonov will be playing the leafs 4C role to start the season.

Fourth Signing:

This one is a long shot. I think you offer Montour a 1 year 2mil prove it deal. In Anaheim Montour was a bonafide top 4 Dman. Since joining Buffalo he has seen his numbers plummet. Offer Montour the chance to play on a real team for once in his career and really try to sell him on that. It's a possibility,

Fifth Signing:

Backup goalie, I've stretched
the cap super thin here and didn't leave much wiggle room to sign a backup. Which could really bite the leafs in the ass here but I think its worth it to gamble on campbell.
I don't know much about Scott Wedgewood or what he's worth but I put him in as the placeholder here. 1yr @ 800k, not sure if thats even close.
