Rebuilding teams love giving up all their draft picks.

This doesn’t seem too far off in terms of trading partners. SJ isn’t rebuilding. They had one awful year. You don’t sign Karlsson to a massive deal and have Burns, Couture, Kane, Meier, Vlasic and Hertl all on longer term deals to rebuild - Get real. As for LA, may be ready to start to put it all together since they’ve stock piled for 3 years. This years top pick with Turcotte, Bjornfot, Vilardi, Fagemo, Kupari, Thomas, Anderson Dolan, Madden, Dudas, Durzi and Clague seems to be a team ready to put the wheels in motion. Not to mention a ton of on roster talent. Probably good on the prospect front. They need these mid tier guys with cheap contracts to help now!

Hard pass from SJ.

Tanev is gonna cost more at least 4.5 mil

Tanev will get more than that, but even if the Leafs sign him to that, I'd be mad.

Agree on the 4.5M, but maybe with Covid implications on the cap which could impact RFAs ability to get desired dollars plus his injury prone self (and maybe a little hometown discount) we get him for 4.5, maybe slightly under.
