Two final moves to sure up roster.

1. Sign Michael Stone to 1 year 1 mil deal, he's a good defender/penalty killer who's had a couple tough seasons with Calgary the last 2 years which leads me to believe 1. He'll take a cheap contract and 2. He would okay with being a 7th defender, not to mention he already has chemistry with Brodie and would most likely be his d partner on the penalty kill when he's in the roster.

2. Trade Engvall, Liljegren (2.1m combined) and maybe a B level prospect to Columbus for max Domi at 50% retained (2.65m). Considering the facts that Columbus exposed him in the expansion draft and he only has 1 year left on his deal I believe Columbus would make this deal. Not only is he the son of a leafs legend but also an offensively gifted/ gritty player that has chemistry with Marner from their London days that also fits the bill of a player who would like to redeem himself which Dubas clearly values.

Domi-Mathews-Marner
Bunting*-Tavares-Nylander
Kerfoot-Kampf-Mikheyev
Robertson*-Spezza-Simmonds
Extra- Brooks, Gabriel

(*If Bunting fails to provide top 6 production he switches places with Robertson)

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Dermott
Extra-Stone

Campbell (1A)
Mrazek (1B)

PP1
Nylander-Tavares-Mathews
Rielly-Marner

PP2
Simmonds-Spezza-Domi
Sandin- Bunting/Robertson

PK1
Kerfoot-Marner
Muzzin-Holl

PK2
Kampf-Mikheyev
Brodie-Stone or Dermott-Brodie

Lastly sign Rielly 7-8 years at 7-8m before we lose him for nothing next offseason

I don't feel like doing the math but if this roster isn't cap compliant as is it would be with an addition of LTIR space and or placing Brooks and or Gabriel on waivers

Whenever someone wants Max Domi they immediately lose me.

Domi left MTL because he's a brutal centre but doesn't actually understand that.

He's also a goof. He's really not the guy you want/ need.

Max Domi is certainly not the answer.

Yea, no desire for Max.

Domi already on the third team that doesn’t want him. His dad being a “leaf legend” is irrelevant. Hard pass.
