But on top of that, they will be in an even worse situation next year. Their entire D core, except for Rielly, are free agents after this year. Harper and Schmaltz will be RFAs, everyone else UFAs.
Somehow, despite being all over the cap ceiling already, they will need to re-sign or replace almost their entire D. They will also need to sign or replace Hutchison in net.
They are right fooked. And yet Leaf fans think Dubas is the greatest thing to ever happen.

For the D you forgot Dermott he's an RFA after this year. I think the plan is finally bring in Sandin and Liligren after this year so that's 4 D right there.
With those 3 guys (Muzzin, Barrie and Ceci) entering UFA that gives the Leafs over 10 million. They likely resign either Muzzin or Barrie for 6 million roughly per and then they gave the leftover money to get another D.
