Pulock has a full NTC so he isn’t going anywhere.

Why would the Leafs do that to downgrade their team in 2 spots in their lineup without getting something else in return?

It's gotta be Dobson. It's the only way that trade works for both teams fairly.

I think the leafs would 100% do that deal. Gives them a top 2 D (righty) they desperately need locked up long term on a great contract and a good young forward who they could probably sign on a bridge deal.

For an expiring nylander who wants 10m a year and liljegren who has yet to solidify himself as anything more than a 5th/6th D.
