Agreed. I'd be targetting Riley Nash and Derek Ryan. Matt Cane's salary projection for them both sits at 2-3 yrs, 2.5M AAV (although I feel like Nash will get more).

Yeah. I'd be targeting them, too - even if the team does add Tavares, adding one of them would be helpful.

In net, Sparks is likely the backup so don?t be surprised to see one or both of Mac or Pickard traded. (rumblings around the league have Pickard being available)
On D they could look to a team like Minnesota or Winnipeg and eat a bad contract to get a capable RD from them or move a few of the depth guys to create a hole for Holl.
At forward they could look for a depth center like Nash or Ryan and if they miss out on Tavares expect that Nylander could get a long look at 3C. If Nylander is the 3C they might look for another option on the wing.
Depending on how things fall they speculated that there could be as many as 8 roster changes by the start of next season.

Sounds like the Rangers, and other teams, are going hard after Ryan Reaves. Hopefully Dubas can offer up Martin to whoever loses that "sweepstakes".

We were talking the other day about getting a little more jam in the lineup...anyone have interest in Patrick Maroon?
According to tsn.ca, he's got about 6 suitors or something, which makes it much less interesting given the price will likely be driven up beyond what he's worth on my cap.
He's coming off a $2m cap hit, he'll probably get, what, $4?

Matt Cane's prediction model has him getting $5mil+.
Not a massive surprise here, but Mirtle's reporting that the Leafs will turn their attention to Derek Ryan if Tavares passes.

They're probably pretty close. Ryan's a more well-rounded player while Bozak has a higher offensive ceiling (although they were fairly close in scoring last season). Ryan will also come cheaper than Bozak. Matt Cane's model has him at $2.4mil, but there's multiple teams after him so I could see him getting $3mil. As long as it doesn't come with big term it's a fine contract for a more prototypical 3C.

I just want to say I like Derek Ryan, but I see him more as a 4C. Nylander moves to center if the Leafs miss out on Tavares.

Calgary might take a look at Martin.

So now that you've got Tavares in the fold do you maybe get real aggressive about going out and getting a defenseman?
I'm not sure who's available but I think you could still keep the big 3, excuse me, big 4 and put together some pretty attractive packages by skimming maybe a little bit of depth/offense off the top.
Say...a 1st, Brown, Grundstrom and Zaitsev? Or even be open to the moving of Liljegren?
