That’s a lot of not much for Anderson.... we have no use for a LHD, or depth forwards.

Benning is a very good RHD. Khaira is a physical 4C that would fit with Torts syatem.

Anderson is looking injury prone but may still have upside. What do you value him as?

Leafs would do this in a second.

If I had one positive thing to say it’s Chiasson trade ain’t bad.

all these leon as the first line center is hilarious

Habs and Chiasson, name a more iconic duo.

Why? So we can get another ****ty defenceman who will fail as Rielly's partner and be an overpriced 3rd pair guy? Ceci and Zaitsev are lessons learned. No thanks on Larsson he just isn't at all good and in Keefe's system he is an expensive pylon in front of our net. He can't handle the puck, or pass well. His ability to do anything offensively is so bad that any good he does defensively is wiped out. Dismal at possession and his xg% is negative.

We don't need RHD either, and we definitely don't need another 4C; we've got like four of those already. If healthy, Andy's a top-6 player, no doubt. At worst, he's a 3RW on a contender. He's a good player.

Murray for Koskinen, Puljujarvi

Pittsburgh has no need or want of a goalie, nor for Yakupov v2.0.

Are you forgetting Johnsson is a gas can at best?

At they end of the season they were the best line in hockey

Koskinen would be a very good backup in case Jarry struggles. He is a cheaper option than Murray ( I have Murray under valued here I believe) he is better that Desmith

To be Leafs actually need defensive guy. He gives them some muscle in the season and playoffs and a different dimension. If you wanted an offensive guy what happened with Barrie?

Does Johansson bounce back? Idk. But I figured the difference in contract years didn't warrant picks or anything

As a 3RW Benning and a 3rd is plenty. Khaira is a bonus and CBJ can move on from other bottom 6 guys

That is just false. I would happily keep Johnsson. He's a good player.

But we don't want Benning! I appreciate you thinking of us, but... he's not a fit. The only desirable asset (to CBJ, based on the team's needs) you're offering is the 3rd, and Anderson is worth more than that.

I don't want an offensive guy, I want a two way defenceman who can defend well and fit the possession system. Larsson is not at all that. He's a guy who stands in front and blocks shot because he can't move the puck. I would much rather try to get Tanev on a short term deal. Even 1 year to give Sandin and Liljegren another year of development. Maybe Lehtonen really does well and Dermott I think can really take a step as well. I would be patient on making a big trade because we don't know what the market will make available.

Why it's good you are not the GM. A team needs depth dmen way before another average winger

He is also 4x more cap than DeSmith. Literally zero interest in the pieces from Edmonton.

Rumor (which is basically meaningless) has Edmonton offering Larsson+ for Murray, but Rutherford countering with Nurse (maybe +, maybe no +).

Wouldn't trade Nurse. I look at Petry and Nurses numbers are significantly better

They can be found in better ways than this. I don't think there will be huge money handed out in FA and that may lead to guys signing cheaper 1 or 2 year deals and that would be better

Curious who you would target?

Tanev.
