Absolutely none of these trades are anywhere close to planet earth. Ottawa isn't going to provide you with a young 2nd line center, and throw in a #1 defenseman for Mitch Marner. Yes I see Minten and draft picks.... Ottawa isn't planning on making the playoffs in say 3-4 years. Ottawa plans to make the playoffs next season. Ottawa isn't short on offense, where we struggle is on the defensive side. Pinto is one of the better young centers who does actually play a solid 2-way game. Sanderson is Ottawa's best defensive defenseman. On top of all that, you're asking Ottawa to eat money, on an 8-YR deal? Are you out of your mind??? For a #1 defenseman who will be playing for a division rival? The Leafs generously pay some towards Marner's last year of his contract and this is supposed to be a solid trade?
As for the Vegas trade.... Why on earth would Vegas want Tavares? He'd be the 3rd line center there. Not to mention McNabb is a shut-down beast for Vegas. The Leafs aren't going to trade Tavares and get a decent haul of assets. The only way Tavares gets moved, is if Toronto adds some serious sweeteners and eats salary. He's not a guy who is proven in the playoffs, he's slowing down by the game, and Vegas doesn't need to add a guy like Tavares, which is why Toronto isn't moving Nylander for McNabb instead of Tavares in your trade.
