Quoting: MitchJr
Honestly don’t mind it that much. McMichael is a nice piece and the picks are OK. No interest in Van Reimsdyk and I don’t know much about the other guy. You can take out the 3rd but you’d have to add another prospect (A or B+) to get me to bite.
Unfortunately Leafs have to take on some salary to make it work, and I wouldn’t mind keeping TVR around if Caps didn’t need to get someone to take the load off of Carlson, and TVR isn’t that guy. Really reliable 2nd/3rd pair ‘tweener.
So I’m not sure Caps would even go this high, so I doubt that sort of prospect would included instead of a third. I’ll give you two options instead:
McMichael, Protas, TVR, 1st 2024, 2nd 2025 and Brent Johnson
Or
McMichael, Nick Jensen, Andrew Cristall, 1st 2025, 2nd 2026, 3rd 2024
