My Leafs Offseason:

Head Coach: Push hard for Babcock but if he goes somewhere else, try for McLellan or Blashill.

GM: Either name Hunter or Dubas the GM or hire Mike Futa, George McPhee, Julien Brisebois or Jeff Gorton as the GM.

Draft:

(NO MOVES)

4th Overall Pick: Preferrably Strome but if Arizona picks him 3rd overall, pick Marner.

24th Overall Pick: A defenseman like Kylington, Zboril, Roy or Carlo if they are still available. Top choice would be Kylington.

Re-signing players:

Kadri: 5y/$5m
Bernier: 2y/$4.5m
Booth: 1y/$2m
Panik: 2y/$2m
Smith: 1y/$1m
Sill: 1y/$1m

*The rest are minor ones or players that are going to be released*

Free Agency:

The main goal here is to sign the top players to 1 year deals and deal them at the trade deadline for picks and prospects. Perhaps Chris Stewart and Cody Franson could be good fits. Also, if there are young players available that are about 23 or under, sign them to deals of about 2-3 years each.

Trades:

1.

To PHI:
Dion Phaneuf (Retain $1m to add trade value)
2016 2nd Round Pick (PIT)

To TOR:
2015 1st Round Pick (PHI)
Vincent Lecavalier (cap dump)
Luke Schenn (replacement on the blue line)

2.

To NYI:
Phil Kessel

To TOR:
Michael Grabner
Brock Nelson
Ryan Pulock
2016 1st Round Pick (NYI)

3.

To VAN:
Tyler Bozak

To TOR:
Brendan Gaunce (good prospect)
2016 2nd Round Pick (VAN)

4.

To WSH:
Joffrey Lupul (retain $1m)

To TOR:
2016 2nd Round Pick (WSH)

Roster next season:

JVR-Kadri-Grabner
Panik-Holland-Stewart
Booth-Lecavalier-Nelson
Komarov-Smith-Sill

Rielly-Franson
Gardiner-Schenn
Robidas-Polak

Bernier
Reimer

*Highly dependent on training camp but what roster could look like if this plan is followed.*

Thoughts?

PS. This took a long time to make so constructive criticism is appreciated and not straight up hate. Thanks.

1. If you don't get Strome at #4, go and get Hanifin.
2. Kylington will long be gone at #24.
3. Lupul is injured way too much to fetch you a 2nd, even with 1 mil retained.
4. Honestly, that roster still plays for Austin Matthews. Which isn't necassarily bad, just saying.
5. Nelson would definitely have a top6 role, IMO.
6. Chance of another season with Bernier + Reimer are at about 1.3% I'd say.

Really solid post! Very realistic IMO. All trades seem reasonable!

I would definitely like to see the Leafs acuire another top 10 pick at the draft but I realize that the likelihood of that is very low.

The phanauf trade is biased to toronto

I wouldn't get Babcock because I wouldn't mind seeing the Leafs fall to bottom 5 of the league again and getting another juicy pick. I would get a guy like Keefe, Dubas hired him in the OHL and then he went on to gather a 52-12-# record. Get the coach used to the NHL for a season and the core used to the coach. Tank another season and then go out there and try to make the best deals available. Realistically Leafs are about 1-2 more good players (such as prosects) away from have good stability and ready for growth into Playoff condention.

Babcock staying in Detriot, he would be a person to go to Toronto.
McLellen going to Edmonton.
Arizona is taking Strome. Kylington should be long gone before 24.
''to sign the top players to 1 year deals''?? You just lost all credibility with that statement, sorry. Why in the **** would a top free agent sign with the terrible Leafs over long term with a better team?? Jesus. i'm not even looking at the trade proposals, not worth my time, delusion for sure with the way this all started.

@Draisaitl

1. That could work.
2. I checked a bunch of different drafting sites and apparently Kylington had a bad season in the minors so his ranking has dropped a lot all the way to the 20's and some say not even in the 1st round.
3. That may not be an offseason trade but if we hold onto him until the Trade Deadline, we could still get a 2nd or even more for him because of the desperation shown by other teams.
4. I know that, that's why the free agents were signed for just 1 year deals and rookies and young players are getting higher roles on the roster.
5. I can see that happening.
6. I think that tandem is going to stay until the Trade Deadline at least but by then, at least Reimer is going to be traded (most likely).

IMO Marner is going 3rd. Has chemistry with Domi and Dvorak already. Strome is our obvious first choice, but I would still be happy with Hanifin as well.

Leaf fan mentality well we've been losing since the 70
So we got to loose even harder! What a loser attitude to have
Leaf are the only team of the original 6 who did not have any succes compare to the other 5! This is something to be ashamed leaf fan, leaf organisation and others.

Boston missed the playoffs how is that successful?

One of the rare occasions where I agree completely with Drais. Good points.

Montrealfinest never fails to give me a laugh too.
