3 team deal

Arz
Liljegren $1.4M(Tor)
Kulich ELC(Buf)
Voit ELC(Tor)


Buf
Nylander $6.96M(Tor)

Tor
McBain RFA(Arz)
Jukiharju $2.5M(Buf)
Nadeau ELC(Buf)
Brown $1.25M(Arz)

Arz gets a young NHL RD and very good offence prospect and a solid offence prospect for their 3rd line centre and a 3rd pair D on an expiring contract.

Buffalo gets Nylander to help them try and make the playoffs. They have the cap space to sign him and also added a lot of D-men so moving Jukiharju is doable along with Kulich and Nadeau because of their prospect pool.

Leafs lose Nylander and Liljegren, but pick up a young top 4 RD, A 3rd line hometown C that plays a physical game and can add to the offence as well as a 3rd pair physical hometown D and big RW prospect, plus about $3.6M in cap space to help sign Samsonov and McBain. They just have Murray to move/buyout and they should have some cap space to spare with using Muzzin's LTIR.

Pretty sure Buffalo is on Nylander and everyone else NTC list.

I do like McBain’s size, grit and upside a lot! Think he will be a playoff performer.

Jukiharju is a top4 Dman, decent size and a very strong skater who is not shy.

Nadeau plays a strong 200’ game, does everything well but nothing elite. Good size, young but very much an average skater.

Brown is Brown, big and not an NHLer.

If Nylander can’t be signed I’d do the trade though I hate to make the Sabres offence any stronger!

Who will play right wing for the Leafs when Marner isn’t on the ice?

@WB49. Guys who shoot left can play right wing. Some even prefer their off wing because they can one time easier and the puck is in the middle of the more when shooting which creates a better shooting angle. I'm not that concerned. Defence is more difficult.
