Sujet: Hear Me Out - Ideas Before Expansion Draft MCCANN TO TOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>I don't get this McCann deal from a Toronto perspective. Sure he's at risk of being exposed to Seattle and has had inconsistent play to make his value not the highest, might be closer to a 3rd and a prospect, but the rest of this just doesn't make sense.

1. You trade Hyman's rights - well what if Pittsburgh signs him (which would be their intention) - &amp; you've now just traded a 3rd and Hyman for McCann. Which is a terrible deal for Toronto.

2. If you trade for McCann before the expansion draft then you need to protect him - and if you don't (I assume you've still protected the core 4 plus Rielly, Brodie, Muzzin, and Holl by the looks of it - should be Dermott but that's whatever), so why wouldn't Seattle just take McCann who's younger and has more team control? Then Toronto just traded a pick and Hyman for literally nothing.

This just makes no sense as it is. Good idea going after McCann, just bad execution here.</div></div>

I should have clarified, that is my bad. Here TOR actually goes 7-3-1 but still exposing Kerfoot to SEA. Hyman is gone from the Leafs 100% so it doesn't really matter where he goes, we're just shipping him off for SOME value.

Maybe the pick is a bit much but I didn't want to be called a Leaf homer so I sent them a pick as well. The general point of this trade though is to upgrade at 3C (McCann in, Kerfoot out) as well as getting SOME value for Hyman instead of just losing him to FA. And from a PIT standpoint, they get exclusive negotiating rights to a player they are interested in (who can also just walk) AND a draft pick.

Both teams get value for players they were going to lose for free.
