Florida downgrading their already thin blueline, sending a pick, and sending the better/proven forward all in hopes that Robertson breaks out? Doesn't seem ideal.

could take the third off. its not a deal breaker, and some fans would argue that we lose this trade, and id have to agree

the team needs a change, a spark to wake up the leafs that we saw in the playoffs last year, they play alot better knwoing tough players are there, for example when simmonds played against winnipeg, they were all hungry and playing playoff hockey. im trying to recreate that vibe, send a message to others teams we can also be tough and bang if needed.

Florida loses on the Gudas for Holl aspect.

Florida loses on the Bennet for Robertson aspect.

Florida loses on the 3rd for Kerfoot aspect.

Florida is genuinely a worse off team for this trade. Florida needs help on defense with Ekblad injured, if they are shipping Bennet they are getting something in return on the back end, and Holl is definitely not it.

Gados and Holl are equal. Don't know why the poor defensive team Florida has all this love for the their bottom end Dmen
Kerfoot though on an expiring contract is the same as Bennett. Bennett has been good. for one year and three months but not this year.
Leafs need the good and cost efficient Robertson. Leafs problem this year has been scoring goals by their big name players, not their defence.

This makes the Panthers worse in so many ways. If Bennett is traded, it's 1for1 for a top4 dman
