I had no idea what to write for the FTB, then I saw someone talk about a pipe dream trade the Leafs might be able to make from one of the teams below, and that was the inspiration I ran with.
The Florida Panthers have already started selling. Despite just spending a lot of money on Bobrovsky, and bidding hard for Panarin, this past deadline they traded away Trocheck for a bunch of smaller contracts to save $1.3 million. They traded Malgin for Marchment, an AHLer to save more on Malgin’s NHL salary. And there were rumours that part of their decision to part ways from Dale Tallon was to save on his salary too.
