Going all in with one more shot at a cup with core 4 & Reilly, if they cant get it done this year.

Murray bought out

Kerfoot, Simmonds, Aston-Reese leave in free agency

Sign Reilly, Samsonov & Acciari our own UFA's

Then sign Pavelski, Pacioretty & Jordan Staal

O'Reilly Matthews Marner
Jarncrock Tavares Nylander
Pacioretty Pavelski Lafferty
Knies Staal Acciari

Depth : Robertson, Steeves, Holmberg, McMann, Abruzzese

Reilly Brodie
McCabe Liljegren
Giordano Timmins

Samsonov Woll

Pacioretty ( of course all dependent on his health ) & Pavelski both highly motivated wanting to win a Cup & former Captains as well. Staal has the one cup with Penguins in 2009, also a former captain if he leaves the Hurricane.

Free agent signings proposed bring a good mix of size, toughness, skill & leadership.

Pavelski has proved durable & productive, & with a healthy Pacioretty that would be a dominant 3rd line. Speed of Lafferty gives his linemates more offensive opportunities, by creating turnovers on the forecheck.

The Staal 4th line designed to crash & bang, shut it down while adding a little offense on occassion.

* Leafs win 1st cup since 1967

Great idea!
Leafs will become the oldest team in the league with those signings!

Ok. So even using Muzzin's LTIR after buying out Murray, the Leafs have about $13M in cap space. They are going to sign O'Reilly, Samsonov, Acciari, Pavelski, Pacioretty, Staal and add Knies and Woll with their contracts?

Can you break down the signings Kennedy?

Pretty sure I read somewhere that pavelski won’t play in Canada. He’s one of the American players that has Canada on his no trade clause. Same as Ryan suter.
