Since Leafs fans are keen on trading for them

Do as i've done : tell them it's Knies + or nothing .... they will cry hard like Palhal!!

Seriously?
Why would the Leafs give away their prospects?
This trade is bizarre and ridiculous.

Leafs add matthews and Marner and it’s fair

Yeah, some of us get these D have inherent value, but Minten and a 1st? Come on🤣🤣🤣

I am not opposed to moving a 1st as a Leafs fan, but it is going to be for a younger D with term..... like a Will Borgen type.

Realistically, I would move Villneuve and a 2nd (if the Leafs actually had one this decade) for Savard.... and that would be with retention.

Here is the thing about dealing with the Habs:

You have a huge glut on the right side. Don't think for a minute that is lost..... so knowing that moving Savard makes room for one of Kovacevic, or Xhekaj, or Reinbacher, Mailloux (if reinstated) suddenly decreases his value.

So no sir. Although I agree with your thinking, your proposal is completely off base..... as this is a move the Habs simply may have to make. Something has to give, and smarter GMs know it.

No crying. Just be telling Hughes to pound salt.

See my previous comment.

The idea behind the value of the D is sound. Habs issue is....... as I said..... it's a move that has to be made. Something has to give.
