You aren't getting a first + second for Bracco and Kossila from any team in the NHL. I doubt you even get a 2nd round pick for that package.

Point taken ... but since you singled out that trade ... I assume you're OK with the rest?


Like the Arizona trade:

To Toronto = Barrett Hayton (2018 5th overall) + Victor Soderstrom (2019 11th overall)
To Arizona = Fred Gauthier (a fourth line center) + Mac Hollowell (a 4th round pick)

And the Carolina trade:

To Toronto = Brett Pesce ($1,000,000 retained) + 1st round pick
To Carolina = Alex Kerfoot (a third line center) + 6th round pick

And the Winnipeg trade:

To Toronto = Josh Morrissey (#1D signed for 8 years) + Kyle Connor (#1 LW with $3,100,000 retained)
To Winnipeg = Jake Muzzin (a pending UFA defender) + Kaspari Kapanen (a poor mans Kyle Connor)

And the Vancouver trade:

To Toronto = 2nd round pick + 4th round pick
To Van City = Ken Agostino + Jason Spezza (two veteran press boxers)

Are you catching my drift good sir?

Reading those trades, I imagine you are trolling? I don't want to beat on you if you are lol.

Also ... since you're a Habs fan ... I'm curious what you'd want / expect back from the Leafs in the following trades?

TRADE 1

- Shea Weber ($2,857,000 retained)

TRADE 2

- Max Domi (without extension)

TRADE 3

- John Drouin ($1,500,000 retained)

TRADE 4 (PACKAGE)

- Shea Weber ($2,857,000 retained)
- John Drouin ($1,500,000 retained)
- Max Domi (without extension)

TORONTO'S TRADE ASSETS:

- Alexander Kerfoot, C
- William Nylander, RW
- Kaspari Kapanen, RW
- Andreas Johnson, LW
- Freddy Gauthier, C
- Trevor Moore, LW
- Zach Hyman, RW
- Tyson Barrie, RD (possible extension)
- Jake Muzzin, LD (possible extension)
- Cody Ceci, RD (possible extension)
- Any Prospect (except Sandin)
- Any Draft Pick

I would say no to every trade involving these players and Toronto, but I'll play along.

Trade 1

Shea Weber

for

Timothy Liljegren (replacement defensemen for Weber with some potential)
1st Round pick (Either 2020 or 2021)

Trade 2
Max Domi

for

William Nylander (962k retained)


Trade 3

Jonathan Drouin (Retained)

For

William Nylander

Trade 4
- Shea Weber ($2,857,000 retained)
- John Drouin ($1,500,000 retained)
- Max Domi (without extension)

For

William Nylander (3 Million Retained)
Tyson Barrie (Leafs resign him to 6x6, retain 3 Million)
2020 first round pick

I'd do Weber for Liljegren + 1st (but with some retention ... Weber's 34 and signed for 7 more years).

I'd do Domi for Nylander (if Domi's extension is pre-negotiated ... He could ask for $8,500,000+ if he gets 72 points again).

Can't do Drouin for Sandin + 1st (Sandin has out performed almost every defensemen in 2018 draft so far).

Like I said, I wouldn't do any of those trades simply because it's Toronto, but I think the value is near fair. Weber brings leadership you didn't know was possible. He completely rejuvenated Montreal's locker room chemistry. He is also lethal on he PP. Giving Toronto another option would just be crazy.

I think Domi is more valuable to Montreal than Nylander would be, but at 6 Million over a long term, I would rather Nylander than Domi at 7+

Drouin really can't be traded. His contract is simply amazing and he's french.

I was under the impression that Drouin was being shopped / in trade rumors at some point recently?
And that people have started souring on him because he's a softy / doesn't try very hard on defense?

I guess that's not true?

I've been operating under the assumption that Domi is more valuable to Montreal than Drouin is.
