its this years first and fraser for tanev as your rd1 and retention. if theres cap complications calgary can take on an expiring contract as your compensation.

The Leafs could trade Robertson but not the other pieces included in that trade.

No one's paying a 1st and prospect for Tanev on an expiring deal.

Don't fall in love with prospects. This is as high as their value will ever be.

ok, then the flames will just hang up on your offer, and if u think thats the case wonder why canucks bought zadorov for cheap, because it wasn't the deadline hence nobody was raising his value per offer!!

Dowd will get a much larger return than this

They'll be hanging up on a lot of offers then. No one's paying that price.

Devils don’t have the cap space for Brodie.

This is a perfect cap friendly leafs trade because you are trading someone who is horrible for someone who isn't so yea, that checks out

well perhaps you forgot that the bruins sent over a haul for hampus lindholm who was on an expiring contract, now you can argue that he resigned but at the time of which he was traded for they didnt have insurance they could sign him until later that month. An even greater case was ben chiarot to the panthers... literally a more expensive trade then what I brought up, but ya no team is going to make that deal even when teams HAVE!!

I'm a Flames fan, and you can't seriously be comparing lindholm to tanev. That's the kind of return we could expect for hanifan.

that was a rough example to prove teams still pay for expiring dmen. but if you see the chiarot example that kind of dismisses that guys point on how nobody wants to buy rentals for assets...

I can't see Ron Francis trading his top pair defenseman, and two of his heart-and-soul type players for a bag of prospects and a second pair defenseman.

I’d be interested in taking him for free if we go the full LTIR use route

no chance OTT trade chych to the leafs
