[dappleganger]

Treliving used $6.7m this offseason to bring in two 4th liners.

.477 PTS% at this point...blech....until they get healthy, I'm not going to get too bent out of shape.

Now, if they get healthy for December and still play like this...

Two injury prone goalies
7 of their 9 dmen age 31 or older - a number of them with injury history
Matthews chronic injury history and questionable if he will fully recover
McMann has some annual injury history
Robertson had a terrible time with injuries trying to reach the NHL
The Leafs have one of the older NHL rosters - older players are more injury prone (Jarnkrok, Laughton, etc)

All of their injured players may well get healthy by or in December (Tanev, Stolarz and Carlo may not .. Matthew may not fully recover)
But there will probably be more injuries so I'm not confident "they get healthy for December. I hope they do.
Older rosters need young capable depth. Most of that has been traded away.

If Laughton was worth a 1st last season, is he still worth a 1st? What about Carlo?

Laughton is actually a guy you keep unless you're getting an overpay. Carlo will get whatever the market is this year. Last year's prices were high.

He’s 31, has what 6 points in 33 games with the Leafs - trade him if you can get anything for him.

And a pending UFA. No sense in holding on to him if they can’t get back on track.
