Marner, Brodie, Niemala, Jarncrock, Minten & Nylander to NYR for Miller, Panarin, Kakko & Othmann. NYR can then pkg any player acquired from TO in other trades. Leafs save approx. 7 million, so Leafs would have about 4 million for Kane
Leafs sign Kane 4 yrs @ 4 million as a UFA he signs to play with Matthews & Panarin.
Panarin Matthews Kane
Bertuzzi Tavares Kakko
Robertson Domi Knies
Holmberg Kampf Reaves
Depth : Othmann, Lafferty, McMann, Steeves, Abruzzesse
Reilly McCabe
Miller Klingberg
Giordano Liljegren
Timmins
Samsonov Woll
A team with size, toughness, tenacity & skill, Miller shores up the D core and adds some offensive capabilities. Kane adds winning pedigree, elite skillsets & leadership.
With a healthy Kane with Matthews & Panarin, would be the best line in the league. That second defensive pairing just based on size & lengthy sticks, can be effective clogging up the passing lanes. With some physicality not fun for their opposition, makes for a long & frustrating evening.
1st PP : Matthews, Kane, Panarin, Reilly & Klingberg
2nd PP : Tavares, Domi, Bertuzzi, Knies & Miller
If they remained relatively healthy, this line up wins the Cup.
