Tavaras has full control over where he plays, no chance at all he is waiving to play in Chicago
No clue who you are using to check your prospect rankings but Toronto's prospect pool is ranked 28th by Scott Wheeler and Voit is ranked as their 12th best prospect. He isn't worth anything right now and Calgary already has their own version of him in Rory Kerins. Replace him with Niemela and Calgary may do it
Toffoli isn't signing that. He was traded from Calgary because he wanted a long term deal, and then was eventually traded from New Jersey for the exact same reason. Someone will give him 5+ years, I doubt he cares where.
I agree Tavares isn't waiving, but Wheeler and Pronman do not view prospects post draft nearly as much as they do pre-draft. They get the odd international tournament. I've probably watch 40 MarIies games alone this year, never mind the junior, NCAA, and KHL stuff. I agree with you Voit is not top of the pops in their pipeline, but that is primarily due to two things: Size and Health.
Toronto is very deep in their prospect pool in terms of forwards 4 through 12. They already have 1-3 for the next 5 or 6 years. Given what Cowan is doing now in comparison to what Marner did at a similar age in a similar situation, I would not bet against him being in that last group at some point.
Duschene has a well documented history of being on one year and off the next. He is in no way worth that contract. Tavares would count more points.
You've priced Pesce about right, but Liljegren will fill that role and save you 4 mil.
I doubt Treliving moves a 1st for Markstrom or anyone for that matter. I think that is a philosophical difference between him and Dubas, for better or worse.
