Nutivaara, Markus seems like a good player for the Jackets...shoots left though. Why would they want to trade him? I'm not put off by your valuation here, but this seems like the sort of player teams would want to keep. 2 thumbs up for the out-of-box thinking though.

My Idea here is with the title “Only if Seth Jones Was Healthy” I’m basically saying that if Jones was healthy I would be okay with this trade, because we have a surplus of good Defensemen who play on lower pairings than Nuti(Peeke, Gavrikov, Kukan etc). So with those players being said we could afford to loose Nuti(if Jones was healthy). Scoring is an huge issue with the Blue Jackets, we loose a top 4 defense man and Add a Top 6 forward with Kapanen. On the leafs side they need a good D-Man because with Morgan Reilly being Injury prone you never know when he’s gonna go down, you add Nuti you have someone who can fill top 2 roles at times. Swapping the picks is there to add value(I know it doesn’t add much but).
