One of the biggest problems w/ Leafs is scoring from the D! This is really out there but how about…
Tor: Karlsson (2M ret. ) Rackell
Pit: Reilly, Rights to Holmberg, Kämpf, Niemela, and a 5th
This would give the Leafs a dynamic first passer (53pts on a down year) and PP specialist and a defensively sound RW for Matthews! Wonder if Dubie is high enough to bite!

I'm thinking maybe sign burns to a 1yr 1m contract instead for the bottom (? ) Pair.

That’s $8 million for Karlsson and $5 million for Rakell coming in with only $7.5 for Reilly going out.
Since Reilly has a NTC, Domi, Kampf, Jarnkrok and Reaves’s would all have to be going to the Pens in the deal.
It might be worth considering if Dubas was foolish enough.

I want no part of that Karlsson contract unless it's retained half and even then, 5m is a lot for what he brings at this point of his career.

Last 3 years 53, 56 & 101pts! Still a dynamite puck mover! Pretty sure he could still get 60-80pts! Get him cheap, and it’s only 2 yrs. @ 8M! Only 35, not 40! Maybe worth the risk!?
