This is the team I would cheer for because they have some of my favourite players like J.T. Miller, James Reimer, Ryan McDonagh and Phil Kessel added to a team with Morgan Rielly, William Nylander and David Kampf.
The reason I traded Matthews away is because it was the easiest solution to solving the cap problem. I get that the trade would be very stupid to so many, but I thought it seemed smart as we now free up cap to take on more players.

In what way would this team miss the playoffs? We've got goal scoring potential from Nylander, Tavares, van Reimsdyk and Kessel(hopefully), we have versatility from Marner, Miller and Kampf, we've got goaltending from Reimer, Campbell and Kallgren, and then we have defense from McDonagh, Rielly, Lybushkin and Manson. So what do you want me to do to improve the team?
