Sujet: Strengthening - moves with NSH TOR CAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>Probably a no from the Leafs. Not that the value is bad, it just doesn't make a ton of sense from the standpoint of their needs. Kap would be their most valuable trade piece to upgrade where they want to, and to trade him in a deal where they take cap back ($1.5m I believe) eliminates the trade chip, and while they get another in a 1st, their options decrease barring other moves because they have $1.5m less to work with than if they just traded Kap to directly address the need.</div></div>

On the contrary, Sörensen fits the 4LW slot quite well, meaning that TOR doesn't have to consider re-signing Clifford and thus they save the amount re-signing him would cost, as well as the conditional pick. Furthermore, TOR is pretty stacked on both wings. Provided Barabanov plays as effectively as he did in KHL, he can replace Kappy quite well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>I like Grans, but if he’s the pick, Dallas should trade down to get him. They could realistically trade back to 30-35 and still get him. The only defensemen I’d take at #24 would be Braden Schneider. If he’s not on the board, Dallas needs to pick a goal scorer.

Their entire prospect pool has 1 guy that knows how to score and that’s Jason Robertson. They are severely lacking when it comes to high-end goal scoring prospects. The right side of their blue line is extremely thin, yes. But reaching for Grans when one of Jarvis, Quinn, Perreault, or Zary could still be on the board isn’t the best idea.</div></div>

Yeah I agree. My thought process though was that none of those assets are going to be available.

Sujet: PHI trade with TOR DAL OTT
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hammerwise</b></div><div>Ive always like Johns, but hes a UFA and a gamble. Ghost is just 2 years removed from 2 pretty amazing seasons, but Johns is probably more of what both teams need than the higher ceiling Ghost.

As far as OTT, after three NHL seasons and just 26 yrs old, Hagg has proven to be a solid 3rd pairing dman on a good team, is inexpensive and probably worth almost that 2nd rounder, Sandstrom has a big chance to be a home run and is worth the late 3rd, and laberge makes up the difference. Its also a matter of drafting too many guys at once that you cant possibly develop at the same time, OTT will have what 8 other picks in the first 3 rounds?
OTT gets a few prospects, one of which could be a home run who are further in their development than those picks and a solid dman whos young, solid and cheap.</div></div>

Problem is that they already have surplus of all those positions which the prospects play for. They're loaded with LHDs close to as good as Hägg, they also have so many C prospects Laberge just is unnecessary, and they have 3 potential future goalies in Högberg, Gustafsson and Daccord. All players offered here are just not needed by them in any manner.

Value might be close (I'd personally settle for 3rd and 4th), but needs doesn't meet.
