I think the Toronto deal works out really well for both teams. Toronto gets a young, steady RD whose locked up for fairly cheap who can immediately be placed anywhere in the top 4. (I personally think a Severson/Rielly pairing would look great.) They also gain around 9M in cap space to resign Marner and Kap. Marleau would immediately be bought out and could sign back to Toronto on a cheap deal since NJ would be paying this contract like Orpik last year. (I highly doubt he waives his NMC without that kind of deal in place)

NJ gets a young high skilled offensive winger to put with either Nico or Hughes.


I doubt this is enough for PK and also doubt he gets traded at all, but if he does, NJ make the most sense as a team that can take on his cap hit without any problems. NSH would get a cheap 3rd pair RD in Santini and a young C in Zacha who is one of the best penalty killers in the league and who is brimming with offensive potential that may be unlocked with a change of scenery with better players around him.

Like I said, I doubt that trade is realistic, but I think there is a trade to be made somewhere between these teams, and if NJ can get PK without giving up Hall, Nico, Hughes, or Smith, they should jump on it. Also replaces Severson on the R sign with a massive improvement.
