Leafs need several pieces.
1/  Time to trade JVR while his stock is high as he comes off a good regular season......perhaps package him and a draft pick for a top 2 dman. Josh Leivo can take JVRs place on Bozaks wing.
2/ do not sign any high price free agents (Shattenkirk)
3/ Decide what to do with Marner. He would bring a BIG price in a trade for a top flight young D man. Leafs cannot succeed in playoffs with a team of undersized skilled forwards (Nylander, Kapinen, Soshnikov)
4/ Offer Boyle a low ball 2 year deal. If he balks, let him walk.
5/ Search the KHL for a tough productive forward.
