That's workable, especially if they can get a couple players to take discounts to fulfill their dreams of playing for the Leafs.
With the cap going up 5% per year for the foreseeable future, these big deals eat up a lower percentage of the cap as time goes on too.

nobody is arguing they can't ice a team...but will it be better than the current not good enough team? I don't think so
What high end D or goaltending is going their as a UFA at a bargain rate? Who will even be on the market.
Its the old pay more for the same thing or less argument
