I just don't see a point to the Burns-to-DAL trade if Faksa's coming back to SJ the other way. The point from SJ's perspective would be to clear some cap space but Faksa's contract (plus the 1mil retention here) just doesn't do it. I guess maybe if DAL sends SJ a 1st instead of a 2nd, but in this scenario here, I'd rather keep Burns. The Ladd deal's interesting though, I don't think Labanc's quite that negative an asset, so I'm not sure a swap works for SJ let alone SJ adding.

Love the idea of adding Sandin, especially for that package.

Zero chance the Leafs do that

Reimer is at most a 3rd pick, no chance leafs do that.
