COL gets Bozak and then nothing worth noting for the present. Leivo is a fringe player at best, Sparks has shown nothing to suggest he will be of use in the NHL yet, Percy and Harrington must clear waivers and are RFA's. Not to mention they are not NHL ready, nor should a team expect them to be. They are depth pieces.

Not sure Colorado wants to move Pickard for that. It's a quantity for quality type deal. Bozak certainly has some value, but his salary here makes it a tough deal for COL.</i></div></div>
The point is using assets we will lose to waivers to get a piece with some value. I do think colorado will be in the market for a center they have nothing really beyond McKinnon and Duechene. I could see Duechene being Traded for a top 4 dman Maybe to Minnesota for Brodin, and Kruemper with SPARKS being added to the trade. Or even flipping Bozak for a Dman.</i></div></div>

No I get the point. But there needs to be two to tango. COL will not be wanting scraps. Also not sure they want a 3C making what Bozak makes. I'd even argue they'd be better with Soderberg playing the middle again.</i></div></div>
Fair enough you know all but one man's scraps could be someone else's meal. Lievo could be sold depth and Like I just said this could give them assets to trade for what they need without giving up their core but anyways like I said like always you think I'm a dumb ass your king **** without actually reading the comment.

Bibeau's not good; his rebound control's abysmal and I wouldn't mind seeing him sent to the ECHL permanently. I think Sparks proved this year that he needs a lot more seasoning. He isn't ready to play as an NHL backup. I think Sparks still has promise to be a backup but probably not for another couple of years at least. Kasimir Kaskisuo is the better athlete of the three goalies but we haven't seen enough of him to assume anything. Next year for him should be interesting. Also in my post, I made it clear that I would have changed Carrick's contract considering that he likely signs for more. I initially figured that term would entice him to sign for below market value.

Leafatic:

I definitely wouldn't cycle Bibeau and Sparks as backups next year. Neither (especially Bibeau) is close to ready for any NHL backup time. I do, however, agree with you regarding Pickard. The reason I chose Malcolm Subban is because Tuuka Rask has a NMC so it'll probably be easier to make a trade for Subban than with Colorado for Pickard. The Leafs would probably have to give up a player like Soshnikov or Connor Brown for Pickard. I would still make that trade but it would most likely cost the team more in assets.

With Bozak, I just think the money is hard for any team to take, so instead of retaining any salary, I think the leafs will have to move from their 2nd round for Bozak stance and accept a 3rd. There's no room for Bozak on the Leafs which puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to making trades that include him.

I think Holland can fit in as a depth player for Pitt, and again, we simply don't have room for him since it's very unlikely we're able to move either Michalek, Greening, or Laich in the summer.</i></div></div>
What I was saying was trade Sparks that way there is more playing time for Bibeau and Kasmir. I do think Bibeau had a rough series against Hershey but overall he looked good through the season. Sparks might have lost his confidence and might need a fresh start some where's else to get it back. But Bibeau and Kasmir could be a good AHL pairing next year and could play some NHL games next year for injury or to get playing time

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>The 5th and 6th are a long shot at best. So the trade is basically Pickard for all those Leafs/Marlies. Percy and Harrington....if they were NHLers they would have been playing for the Leafs last year. A centre, Bozak is probably not needed in Colarado. Would the Avs want to trade one of their premier prospect (Pickard) for that?</i></div></div>
Well they actually did get some playing time with the leafs but they do have the skill to be a 6/7 dman. Also, yes 5 and 6 round picks are a risk but so is a 2nd making an impact even at the AHL level. But need depth in their forwards, on D, and their #1 goalie is cemented so I could see a better D prospect being swaped for Percey or Harrington but the point of the trade was using players we might lose to waivers and are not needed due to excessive depth for a solid prospect will help both teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafatic</b></div><div><i>So I think he drafted Laine 1st overall and drafted Tkachuk 4th. Going off this I can see A small possibly that they draft Laine but I have your agree with everyone Gardiner, Bozak and the picks doesn't for it to get 4th. But even if they get the pick I would hope they would draft a Dman. We need another top pair D and there could be one to consider there.</i></div></div>

There may not be a top tier Dman in the draft. And probably any Dman drafted is a few years away from being NHL competent. All is not lost with current defence, Gardiner, Rielly, Carrick look good, and Zaitsev is a 24 year old veteran pro. I'm sure Lou will and company will find an way. First 90 selections of the draft eight picks, at least three Dmen selected should satisfy your future Dman desires.</i></div></div>
I agree completely I honestly think we might actually have that top pair dman in Zaitsev and with Marincin, Carrick and Valiev we should be good I was just saying if we he was correct and are trading up it would probably be for a young dman than Tkachuk. But honestly I could see them doing what they did last year and trading down alot and increasing their odds of picking up NHL talent.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div><i>It's a risk trading one of those 3, but pairing Dumba with Suter would offset some of the risk. Plus Dumba will be cheaper than the other 3. The heart of the trade is Bozak for a D. So Wild shop around some and if they can't get a younger #1 C they might take it. You have the pieces to make a deal within the system.</i></div></div>
Well the heart of the deal was a 1st and Bozak and to be honest with doubt dumba will get you a blue chip #1 C due to his slow start to his career. yes the potential is there but you have to look at how many young dman could be available if expansion happens like it most likely will. But I can see that you feel they will try and trade Brodin or Scandalla and for Bozak our 2nd and Loov that will be a good framework. But dumba is probably 2 years from reaching his potential hope you and rest of your fan base can be can be patient. Also I'm not trading cause I hate bozak actually I like him a lot but with Matthews Nylander and Kadri in place he is expendable and whoever gets him will get a solid 2/3 line center for two years and is very resignable.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wabit</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafatic</b></div><div><i>Well First Loov is going to be a solid depth dman in this league physical does very few stupid things with the puck. so he will be someone who probably never be a special talent but a solid 6/7 dman for the next 5 years or more. I had concerns in taking Vanek but my thought is that if he truly wants to prove he is a team player and not a team cancer Mike Babcock can do that and that will help him have a better contract in a year. Also, minn could be trade Scandalla but they are in win now mode and he is probably part of the solution where dumba is not going to get the ice time to truly develop with the depth they have on D.</i></div></div>

I have the same feelings about Vanek and BB (whom should use him properly). I think the Wild will move a Brodin/Scandella/Spurgeon before Dumba (unless someone overpays a lot), so he'll get top-4 minutes. Wild have Olosson, Reilly, Folin, Prosser already fighting for 6/7 D. A good FWD prospect would probably go further. But I'm past my depth anymore on this trade.</i></div></div>
Well there's risk in trading one of those three D if your in win now mode I think it will come down to your new coach and what he wants more proven D or potential upside. I could see us putting brown or Leivo into the trade seeing they have nhl talent but might be in tough to make our roster due to the young depth in their roles but will probably have to be our 2nd instead which won't be a huge drop.
