Need some R shot forwards, including that giant hole at centre ice.

On what planet and at what cost would it take to get the Norris trophy guy?

I cannot see it, Knies and Cowen? Ideally, we would trade a Dman in the package, but any they may want have trade protection, which I assume would not be waived to go CLB.

Knies + Danford + COL 2027 1st Rd would be a start.

I don't think a Werenski trade is a good fit for the Leafs. They have bigger needs.

Everyone has a current Norris trophy winner need.

I am drinking the Kool-Aid a little bit with this speculation, as well as McDavid on the horizon. Why not congregate in Toronto and become hockey Gods?

What bigger need do they have other than a true #1D that can realistically get filled? I can't think of any.

2C maybe? Werenski, and other true #1D, play 26 minutes a night, so I’d still prioritize that.

A Norris winner in his prime, when does that opportunity come again?

A 2C would be second to that, like has been mentioned.
