Greenway trade is a positional need for Minnesota. Risk on the leafs end with his down season last year (27 points in 61 games). Hope would be the he can be like Hyman/Bunting and use his size and forechecking ability to get pucks then benefit points wise from playing with Matthews and Marner.

Bunting to the second line makes sense to me. We keep putting playmakers or defensive players at 2LW. We need someone to grind because when JT and Nylander need to do that they get worn down and tired and don't produce as much. Nylander always seems to play better with a strong forechecker on his line that help give him space. He is good at picking pockets, transitioning, carrying the puck but the guy can't forecheck for his life and we need to stop asking him or an aging JT to do that.

On the backend, Holl and Schenn are similar players but we have to pay to benefit from the lower cap hit. For Vancouver I think they do it, they get a pick and a player with more upside who is a bit younger. Makes sense if they really think they have a window in the next few years which the Miller signing seems to indicate.
