The only questionable things for me is the Moser contract, I think he could be worth a little higher, he had a great season and he's really young. And in the Marner trade, I think you could have kept Dylan Guenther, and either trade away a 1st, or a decent prospect</div></div>

As a Toronto fan I don't think the trade gets done without Guenther. If you're giving up a 4x high 90 point guy who is only 27, you gotta give up something significant. Nothing here, outside of Guenther, separates the trade from getting a 60+ point guy or getting someone like necas. I think without him, the first isn't even good enough as a replacement... That said I am very high on Guenther. I

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>The Leafs get essentially no offence from the Blueline apart from Rielly and Liljegren (when Keefe had no choice but to play him). That is an absolute necessity next year, they need at least 1 more puck mover. Preferably Montour who is physical and a terrific skater. I would be happy with either Roy or Pesce as well and I wouldn't spend any money on forwards this year. Maybe Domi if he comes in at under 5 for 4 years or less.

Getting more stay at home guys will further nullify the skill and speed the team has up front.</div></div>

I'd like Joshua and Domi, I think Joshua can be a cheaper replacement for bertuzzi. I watched a lot of Canucks and he was their TEAMS x factor outside the JT Miller, Brock, Quinn. He's the reason they had depth. Guy drove that line and they really felt it when he was hurt. I feel like hed be amazing on the leafs top 6. Would ensure no one gets bullied too.

Domi works and I think their is mutual interest. I think he passes too much but has great potential if a coach can push him in the right direction.

Skinner at a minimum would be a no brainer ... No? 50 point guy with over a ppg ceiling? Imagine him on a line with Mitch or Domi? 2 great set up men with am34 and Skinner? Would be great on the second Pp too.

I just love McBain and think he's Adam Lowry but younger. Would be elated if he lock up the 3c for the time being.

I agree I like Montour but boy is he struggling this series.

I disagree though with your last point. All they need to do is make the first pass. The skill and speed up front can be advantageous after that. You don't need the Blueline back to the redline breakout, there are ways around that.

A puck mover is nice, but I guess my point is that the Leafs troubles have never been offense. A puck mover isn't a problem. It's always the Dmen playing poorly. Albeit Boston really highlighted the puck movement problem.

I'd imagine just keeping lily instead of Borgden would be sufficient. Rielly is always exposed for poor D and I think needs someone like pesce to make that top line legitimate. Montour would be great but I don't think you can pair those two together. Who do you put Montour with? McCabe? Benoit?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Just throwing out food-for-thought…

Laine
Kotkaniemi
Trouba
Lee
Cernak
Oshie
Suter
Clifton
Gibson</div></div>

I think alot of these guys are either legacy guys meaning the team is willing to eat the cost (Oshie, lee) or guys that may potentially be a victim of poor cap management (any Tampa guy). I don't think it's fair to include them because there may be alternatives to get them out of cap hell.

Trouba played with a broken ankle and is the captain, even though his play was butt I think the team gives him atleast one more shot. Him for Laine is appetizing.

Laine is too polarizing, while I agree with you I do think at least one team is willing to risk it and pay something for his upside.

Kk yes, Suter yes, Clifton/Gibson??? Not familiar,

Good adds though thanks
