Competitive Rebuild

Dismantle the core. Lower the cap hit.
Sign UFA depth slight overpay to fill roster. (max 3 year contracts to keep cap room for when bedard exits entry level contract)
Tavares leads team, takes league minimum after 2 years. (will need to first line for first year, struggle, but next year Tage or Conor takes over; play the Mario Lemieux mentor role)

Team goal is just to make play off for experience, but expected early exit (same results with Core 3 anyways who cares)

Pray that our Finish defensive prospects enter the roster within the next 3 years.
Use cap room to be aggressive with short term contracts in FA.

Max Domi would be ecstatic to join the Leafs and fit into a role utility player.
Pair Bedard with Reaves for protection. (McSorley to Gretzky)

Overall strategy, rebuild/tool into a cap headroom team.
2 steps back, 1 step forward short term, position to be leaps ahead long term.

Expect to win Stanley Cup by year 7 from now.

Have lots of cap room to make moves or sign UFA.

Still ???? for a top Left winger. Not sure who is available on market so left it blank for now, enough cap to fill however.
