I still try and move Lucic, trade Hanifin out east (maybe to the leafs for Nylander), and if we need a dept dman at some point in the season you have the cap space to add. Having lived in Toronto for the last 10 years, he gets a bad rep even though he consistently shows he can play well in the playoffs and the Leafs may need a dman.
Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Mangiapane - Kadri - Nylander
Dube - Backlund - Coleman
Weegar - Anderssen
Kylington - Tanev
Zadorov - Valamaki

I like this a lot. Probably would reconfigure the d pairings differently but yeah, Nylander is intriguing. Would leafs be interested in adding another LHS dman is the real question.
I'd move Kylington up with Andersson, they played together in the A. Go Valimaki with Weegar then the defacto shutdown of Tanev and big Z. Or even swap out Z and Valimaki. I think Tanev is versatile enough with either.
Kylington - Andersson
Valimaki - Weegar
Zadorov - Tanev
