Sujet: If They Get Tavares Yr 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Even a late 1st wouldn't do it IMO. If TB gets Tavares then they are probably front runners for the CUP. They would be desperate to offload money and every team in the league would know it which would garner an overpayment by TB to dump these guys. You also have to consider NTC and NMC's. Both Callahan and Coburn have 16 team trade lists. I doubt bottom feeders would be on those lists.</div></div>

That's definitely a fair point, but even a late first is still a good asset for two years worth of cap space that isn't going to be used anyway. I would think there would be one of the 16 teams that would take that deal.

If you couldn't move one of them this summer, you could move Killorn instead.

Sujet: 3 way trade w/ TOR and CAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>In all likelihood your trade would go through without a hitch. It would be tough for Kapanen to move up in the lineup. Especially if the Leafs land JT since Nylander, Marner and possibly Brown are all ahead of Kapanen on the depth chart. The lineups I've toyed with I put Kapanen up into the 3rd RW spot to play with Either Tavares or Kadri and Johnsson on the other side. Its just sick speed on the wings with a creative centre that gives matchup fits to other coaches.

But the more I read about Spurgeon the more I like him. Still think the Leafs need a guy like Chris Tanev a little more than Spurgeon but still I would not at all be disappointed if they get him.</div></div>

The challenge with a guy like Tanev is he's very much a defense first without a lot of puck moving ability. If the Leafs are going to have such a talented group of forwards, they'd be better off with a guy who can get the puck up to them quickly and jump in the rush as a 4th attacker better than Tanev does.
