Do the Leafs want 2 full years of Ellis for one year of Bozak and the potential of Lindberg and that second rounder.

My description for this trade didn't post for some reason...but my thoughts here is that it allows Toronto to protcect 4F 4D 1G (JVR, Kadri, Leipsic, Brown, Rielly, Gardiner, Ellis, Carrick, Andersen) and then they loose either Marincin, Martin, Komarov or a nothing special prospect. For Nashville it allows them to only have to protect 3D and therefore protect more of their forwards (ex. Forsberg, Neal, Smith, Johansen, Jarnkrok, Arvidsson, Wilson, Josi, Subban, Ekholm, Rinne). Maybe Bozak protected instead of like Wilson or Smith. I think Ellis could be the real deal complementing either Rielly or Gardiner and really solidifying our Top 4!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EvanCarr</b></div><div><i>It's definitely an interesting trade. However, I would not do it, and here's why. First of all, Seth Jones hasn't reached his full potential. And he never may. Personally, I view him as a great #3 on a good team. In my opinion, giving up a 1st that will definitely be a lottery pick is very risky. Imagine if it's a top 3. I just don't think the Leafs are in a position right now to trade their first round picks.</i></div></div>

Evan i completely agree that trading the 1st is risky however if there was ever a draft to do this its this upcoming one. It is supposed to be weak and also now with Vegas coming in i think they automatically get best odds at first overall (or 2nd or 3rd best something like that). Jones may not be a #1 but i think he is at least a #2 and would make a killer pairing with Rielly. Not saying in any way that we would make the playoffs next year, but i think with this team we would get out of the NHL basement and unless we had unbeleivable luck we would probably be picking between 5-15 area.

If you look at Colombus' cap situation you would realize that they are in trouble and very vulnerable to an offer sheet for Jones. They only have about 3 or 4 million dollars in cap space next year so unless they are able to unload contracts or bridge deal Jones he's gonna get offers north of 5mil for 5 years. Compensation for that is a 1st and 3rd. So like the Dougie Hamilton deal last year, we give coloumbus a little more than what theyd get for compensation (plus mind you our picks could be quite high next draft). So although it would have to work out perfectly, i dont think its out of the question that Toronto makes an offer for Jones.

As for the Bernier deal, that one was more of a stretch. I'm fine with keeping him as backup till his contract expires but if there were any way Lou could shed his contract i hope he does.
