So you'd get a boatload in return and then the timeline would match up a little bit.

But also you got Cowan on entry level, you got McKenna on entry level.

So that's going to save you some money for some skilled top six wingers.

And then all of a sudden, you know, your cap situation's not horrendous with the fact that it's going up, what, eight and a half million?

Because that was one thing that was announced.

So for the Leafs going from where their cap's going to now getting the first overall pick, a lot has changed to the fact that

I could see them making playoffs next year.

The only thing they have going against them is the fact that the Atlantic is still going to be very difficult.

And, you know, I mean, the East in general is going to be a gauntlet.

So do you agree that they could turn around and be a playoff team?

They have solid goaltending.

The one thing that you're hearing...

through the grapevine is that matthews is like we need a few puck moving d-man i can't keep playing the way that we played last year like it's nauseating i need to have the puck on my stick i lost marner i can't even be given and go keep it go i can't give and go through the neutral zone so i i feel like they could solve a lot of their problems with the fact that they have cap space available a couple studs on entry level deals and or moving off some guys

I kind of love when we're chatting about teams.

Yeah, you need puck moving D. They don't grow on trees, right?

Well, I was just going to say, GM, that's tough.

You could throw out what every team needs.

Actually getting it done, to me, it seems impossible.

I have no GM ability in me.

I'm looking around.
