Oh boy ... you're going to be getting a lecture on that disrespect!!

Why are the Leafs moving 3 better assets for Bennet?

Took you long enough to get here and whine ... er ... I mean pass on your expert "fake trade" analysis.

But I did call it!

Honestly, I'd rather that they just pay SEA not to take Holl (offer them a pick, maybe a prospect, whatever needs to be done) then to replace him with someone like Hjalmarsson. Mostly because he hasn't been good in four seasons and we don't know how much of that is him being in AZ and how much of it is him being 33-years-old and washed. Holl has been very good for the team and if we're upgrading the Top-4, and there are potential available upgrades out there, it might be worth it to have him to play on the third pairing with Sandin next season for $2M.

Also I think you might be dramatically overpaying for Bennett.
