Leafs decline. The Brodie buyout/trade rumours are definitely overblown

I think they are overblown too tbh. But honestly think with this much smoke there may be a decent chance he is moved. Would probably be willing to go to a 3rd but wouldnt do more. Key here from TOR side would be not having to retain.

Trade doesn’t make much sense for Anaheim imo

I do think they move Rico now or at TDL. Just dont see him re-signing and they are in asset acquiring mode (but getting closer to contending imo).

Ive been more pick heavy with mocks in the past but was looking at the Ducks core and starting to wonder if they may be better off going for young players who fit their upcoming window over picks. Thats how I came to Sharangovich and Walsh. Id personally be willing to give up a first for Rico, but not along with either of those prospects. Lesser guy like Clarke or Boqvist maybe. Guess it depends on what Anaheim prefers and how competitive the market for Henrique could be at the TDL.
