Rielly for Skjei? Rielly is the Leafs best defenseman. You would have to start by adding at least a 1st round pick to that trade plus an A prospect

Nino is pretty good but he's on an expiring contract and that lowers his value a lot for a rebuilding team. Also, Erne is a player we want to keep, now that Pánik is gone he's really needed.

I'd offer you Namestnikov plus a pick (3rd likely) for Nino.

Rielly is a rental, he isn't getting a 1st and an A prospect but I highly doubt they trade him for Skjei

I think he's worth that when you're getting the negative value of skejs contract as well

Are you saying Rielly is worth less than Ristolainen? I'm guessing Rielly's worth more.

Nah, I'm saying that the Risto trade dones't set the market

If Nino could be flipped elsewhere at the trade deadline, this would be ideal. You wouldn't think Carolina would be willing to make a move like that, but Waddell's decisions this offseason have been questionable at best, and insanely horrible at worst.
