Mode - plafond salarial: Basique

Here are some moves I think the Leafs should at least explore. Holl, Kerfoot, and Mrazek have to go to free up cap space. Kerfoot is maybe the least likely since he is still a valuable piece to the team and has had some decent play the last couple of playoffs. Wedgewood and Strome are Toronto boys that are passionate about the city, may be willing to take a discount, and could seriously help this team. Strome would be great on the left wing on any line while Wedgewood has proved he is a legitimate backup goalie that can steal games here and there. The big trade involves accquiring Gibson and Comtois from Anahiem for a package of prospects, players, and picks. The Leafs need a legit goalie which is what Gibson provides and they will need to give up more to have salary retained as well as get Comtois who is a player on trade block and can form a very solid third line with Kampf and Accari who we have signed in free agency. The main piece in the trade is Robertson who is the Leafs top prospect but I just don't see fitting into the lineup. He would be a great piece on Anahiem beside a play maker like Zegras. I have Stepan signing as he is a veteran center that has been deep in the playoffs and knows what it takes to win. Blackwell resiging would be great as he is fast and has grit which can be used anywhere the Leafs can get. They could go out and sign another winger for the 4th line but as of right now I think Clifford and Simmonds can rotate through that position and provide the toughness the Leafs need. The D-Core should stay the same with the likes of Holl gone as you will provide more opportunity for Lilijgren and Sandin to continue to develop. If problems occur with the d core I would look to trade or sign a veteran defencemen as they already have enough top defencmen to be fine and make a push.
