Quoting: JackAce91
I wasn't too sure about what each team would want back. I know that with Norris out and the rumors of Ottawa management looking for more top 9 depth, i figured they wouldn't be super excited about moving their 3c up and opening their depth up to more scrutiny. The Zub situation seems like it's been underreported based on what is likely going on behind the scenes, so I just went with what I have seen about their being potential trade expectations.
The Leafs are a pretty complete team already. They're only real drawback is cap space, which is why I didn't want to give back any cap. They have plenty of defensive depth already, so they don't really need Woo to step in immediately. DiPietro on the other hand may need to step in at some point. With Woll and Murray out, they're one injury away from disaster. They also have one of the weakest goalie pools, so adding something there may be beneficial.
Zub is a guy they would move at the deadline probably perhaps sooner, but for a defender in either case, and not a forward rental. If Josh Norris, is out the entire year, then perhaps they do acquire one but someone like Kerfoot. It happens that Leafs have been interested in Zub in the past, so perhaps there is a deal to be done there. Of course, Ottawa would need to still go get a defenseman elsewhere, so whatever they would have had to add on top of Zub for Horvat, can go towards acquiring a RHD. LA will probably have a couple of guys to trade (maybe Roy and Walker), Severson, and Dumba may become available. CBJ (Boqvist-out 6 weeks atm) is bound to have some guys as well later in the season.
Zub plays in OTT's top 4, so whoever they get needs to be able to replace him and play those top 4 minutes. As for Vancouver, they are probably fine with a guy who could work up to becoming a top 4 but can play at least on the 3rd pairing.
Holl plays a top 4 roll though, and plays pk. Unless they are adding a replacement it doesn't make much sense. The Leafs have Kallgren and if it really comes down to it they can acquire a guy like Hutchinson for a 5th from a team who has a spare goalie. Or even if they acquire DiPietro for a 3rd or 4th, they make that move when needed. They also could just move an AHL contract and sign Dryden McKay to an NHL contract.
