FWIW, this is one of the more rational Leafs ACGMs, as well as one of the better Leafs rosters, I've seen on here in a bit. I think you're on the right track! It would be fun to see both Tanevs end up on the Leafs next year somehow.</div></div>

Thank you! I posted one earlier, called the same.. on that I had matched the two Tanev brothers on the leafs roster.

Sujet: Marner trades that make some sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Haha I like how we're inching closer!

Elvis is kind of a prime buyout candidate, he's a decent 1B who has shown flashes, but he's been inconsistent. Honestly, he is the type of personality that would THRIVE in the Toronto spotlight. The only hangups on retaining are that a buyout is ~$1M cheaper per year (minus year 3 where it's ~$200K more expensive) and we'd be eating up a retention spot for 3 years. Merzlikins you could have for free, but with retention it's probably a mid-rounder in value coming back.

That said, the more I think about it, Liljegren is a good offset for Elvis. He's more valuable than a retained Elvis, but also redundant on a Columbus team that already has Jiricek, Severson, Gudbranson, and especially Boqvist on the right side. If he's in the deal because of salary and value, I think that's fine, but he doesn't add too much to Columbus in terms of need. Columbus almost certainly moves him or Boqvist (or both) for additional picks.

Overall, I think KJ + Laine + Provorov 50% + Elvis 50% for Marner + Lilly + a 4th would work, anything else would really be tinkering around the edges. Now we just have to submit it to the rest of the fanbases for approval. :)</div></div>

Then we’ll make a nice under the table deal to sign him after he gets bought out 🤣, think KJ + Laine + Provorov 50% + Elvis bought out &amp; signed by the Leafs for 1-2.5 mil most likely for Marner + Lilly + a 4th would work

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>T0R</b></div><div>You’re Definitely closer &amp; I understand your point so i’ll raise my own, what about Merzlinkins 50% retained?, I know he has what 2-3 more years, it would only be 2.7 in retention &amp; he has shown the ability to perform at the NHL level previously, it's just that was 2-3 years ago but I think it is fair to place that on the team around him more than just his abilities as a Tendy &amp; with Woll being a 50/50 &amp; no real upgrade available unless the Leafs get Saros from Nashville for Mitch (which negates this whole thing lol), I think Merzlinkins would be someone Brad would look to acquire in this deal as well so

KJ+Laine+ Provorov 50%+ Merzlinkins 50% for MM + Liljegren + a 4th</div></div>

I think the only flies in that ointment are that KJ is unlikely to be traded while recovering from major surgery, and Marner's own preferences.

Sujet: If Minnesota wanted to move from 13OA to 5OA on Draft-Day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>my_name_is_Fil</b></div><div>i didnt say he would find him (i also wasnt being literal... come on now)

i say he is looking for big bois

rossi is overachieving. he isnt worth all this. and he is smoll.</div></div>

I appreciate the sentiment that you desire size.
Let's say Celibrini, Demidov, Lindstrom and Levshunov are gone in the first four. Who would we draft that has size, is a forward, that we are not reaching for. Minnesota could use a defenseman in their system, I'd rather trade down, get Rossi, and draft a player like Greentree, Iginla, or Sennecke if any of them are available at 13. (And even if Lindstrom is available, his injury history concerns me a bit, we already have Dach in our system.)

If my choices are [Catton or Eiserman at #5]

or Rossi + [Greentree, Iginla, Sennecke or even Basha at #13] I'd consider both options very carefully. (Even Eiserman still might be available at 13, who knows.)

Let's say this... Do you want Berkley Catton (5'11, 75kg) at 5OA or Rossi (5'9, 86kg) and potentially 6'2 Greentree or 6'2 Sennecke at 13OA or any of the aforementioned players (Iginla, Basha ... Eiserman).

You could even draft Julius Miettinen at #13, preferably at #27 from Winnipeg though, for size, 6'3 (190cm) + 207lbs (94kg). (But Craig Button does have Miettinen ranked 17th overall.)
