Treliving and Pridham are going to be very busy this weekend. The obvious solution is a trade coupled with LTIR for both Hakanpaa and Dewar. You figure Robertson and Patches are locks at this point. Should be a busy weekend in Leaf land.

I’m surprised to see Timmins higher than liljegren in the depth chart
I have not been watching the preseason and forgot/ don’t know much about Myers. Is he tracking to make the opening day line up at this point?
Myers, Timmins, Rifai out, with Hakanpaa LTIR. Dewar, Cowan, Lorentz out. That’s my fat-ass arm chair opinion.
Jarnkrok and Lily trades no? Not even sure if you want to take a NHL player back in that. Assuming it’ll be another bottom 6 guy. We already have Reaves and probably Lorentz/Dewar as scratches at full health. Would rather try to stockpile some picks for the deadline flexibility.
Anyone know what happened to Mccabe?
If I were to guess they’ll go through these transactions before opening night:
1. Send Clifford, Mermis, Myers, Minten and Murray to the Marlies
2. Send Cowan back to London
3. Trade Jarnkrok (get picks back for deadline moves)
4. Put Hakkanpaa on LTIR (he’ll be out long-term, likely over a month)
5. Put Dewar on IR (he’ll be out short-term, likely under a month)
6. Sign Lorentz (800k) and Pacioretty (925k)
**Day One Lineup**
Offence:
Knies – Matthews – Marner
McMann – Tavares – Nylander
Robertson – Holmberg – Domi
Lorentz – Kampf – Reaves
Defence:
Rielly – Tanev
OEL – McCabe
Benoit – Liljegren
Goalies:
Woll/Stolarz
Extras:
Pacioretty/Timmins/Rafai
You’d be left with $333 in cap space and the ability to hang onto Dewar without losing him to Waivers or putting him on LTIR.
Wait, why is Caber DTD? I missed that injury 🤔
So the easy start is
LTIR: Dewar, Hakanpaa
Send down: Cowan, Rifai, Timmins, Murray
Myers only makes the team if McCabe is going on LTIR or out for a while.
I think we would solve a lot of roster and cap issues if we could trade Kampf and Jarnkrok or have someone pick them up off waivers at full salary as they aren’t worth their cap hit
Keep Cowan up,
Trade kampf, lilijgren
I love how people’s solution to better playoff success is to trade the one guy in the bottom 6 who actually consistently shows up for us in the playoffs, arguably more than anyone else in the bottom 6 for the last 3 years.
Knies Papi Domi
Mcmann Willy Mitchy
Patch Johnny Robby
Lorentz Pontus Reavo
Reilly Tanev
OEL ?
Benoit McCabe
Trade Kampf, Calle, Lilly & picks for a better RHD
So when’s Patches getting a contract?
