Sujet: CGY and TOR blockbuster
Overall, this just doesn’t work. It might be a wildcard team and likely would face the same issues in playoffs again and it looks like you’re just making trades for the sake of making trades and they don’t have logic behind them really.

St.Louis deal - Blais would be a great 3rd line addition for Toronto but after he was traded back to the Blues he was on a 53 point pace and plays physical, plus he had a really strong world championship. Those types of players have good value and especially with his cheap 1 year contact - I doubt St. Louis is looking to move him again right now unless it’s an overpay and Timmins isn’t that. Frankly he doesn’t fit in St. Louis who already have Faulk, Parayko, and Bortuzzo (yes they can trade one of them but you don’t trade one of them to make room for a big like Timmins who is a #6 or 7 guy). For those reasons, St. Louis declines.

Buffalo deal - why are all Leaf fans dumping their best defenceman? He’s on a great deal and he makes every partner he plays with better. Getting a third string goalie like Comrie can be done for cheap via UFA and the picks aren’t that beneficial for Toronto, and Brodie isn’t a cap dump. Leafs decline.

Calgary deal - just doesn’t make sense for either side. Leafs don’t need to pay much to move Murray if they choose to, he has a cheap buy out. &why move that much to acquire Toffoli for a 3rd line spot? Marner and Nylander are 100% the top 6 options at RW so paying that many assets for depth isn’t smart. Zadorov would be a decent add but again you don’t need to overpay to do it. Robertson + mid round pick is plenty for a 3rd pair guy but even then it doesn’t make much sense when they have a similar guy in McCabe who’s better. & as for Calgary, they’ll likely look for more sure thing pieces if they move Toffoli. Too many question marks around Robertson’s health to be the main part of the deal.

Arizona deal - while your trade comparable is great, for a team like Toronto it actually benefits them to keep Muzzin on LTIR. This allows them to use their cap relief since they’ll be a cap strapped team again which gives them more flexibility, moving him negates that and makes the cap harder to work with.
