Every team pass on this trade. Buchnevich will not trade this year. Oilers probably accept if you keep Timmins

Poorly thought out proposal. Extensions happen so infrequently they shouldn't even be part of a trade. But they were.....how to Leafs get under the cap next season when there are 12.5m increases in raises to Matthews/Nylander and by this post to Tanev and Hanifan?

Leafs pass on all trades including Hanifin and there’s been zero rumours of Hanifin to Toronto because he will not resign here what do people not understand about that, no matter where he’s traded he signs with Boston in the offseason lol and even if he would resign that’s a massive overpayment, st Louis declines instantly

That Buch "offer" isn't even trying a little.

-Calgary easily passes. If you take out the swap of 3rds, you're basically giving them a different pending UFA defenseman, two prospects, a 1st, and a 5th, while asking them to move their two biggest trade chips -and- retain on both of them. Hanifin by himself is worth at least a 1st & a Niemela-level prospect with retention, and I would think Tanev is a 2nd and another prospect with full retention. Brodies has zero value to the Flames if they're rebuilding/retooling, so you're short a couple picks and prospects to make this work, IMO.

-St. Louis laughs you off the phone here. If they're trading Buch, why would they be targeting a pending UFA like Bertuzzi? The deal here is basically Robertson (middle 6 upside with an injury history longer than a CVS receipt) and a trio of mid-round picks. A year and a half of a guy like Buch would cost a lot, lot more than this.

-Feels like a trade for the sake of a trade. The roster you've built here doesn't actually need the cap space you clear with the downgrade from Timmins to Desharnais, so this boils down to whether or not the Oilers like Timmins enough to take the small amount of extra cap. I'd say no but I don't think it's a bad trade either.

They don't. Desharnais is the other half of one of the league's best 3rd pairing. Unless you blow Edmonton away with an offer, he's not getting moved.

Even thinking that Noah Hanifin would extend in Toronto is totally delusional. And extensions for both players would cost you a 1st round pick and you have only added 1 which is totally not happening.

That might be enough for Hanifin with retention, but I doubt he extends in TOR. Don't think it's impossible like some guys, but it's fairly unrealistic

Who wants to play in Canada and have to fight with CRA, like Tavares!? If given the choice and power, Americans prefer to play in the States and for seemingly good reason
