<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>clark</b></div><div>actually the tanev trade seems like one of the few reasonable tanev trades posted. though after the harmonic trade, and what he returned, I'm sure the Canucks would want more. why trade bozak for kruger and retain too? leafs</div></div>

The Kruger trade is just to provide a bridge for Gauthier to recover from his leg injury before he assumes 4th line role and lets us shift Nylander to center. Doesn't have to happen at the start of the year and could be more of a trade deadline acquisition. I know some people think Nylander is going to be on the wing long-term but I would note that on the Marlies, Nylander performed much better once he switch to center and I think he did a good job in 2015 in the position as well. Given the cap situation I don't think we can afford to bring Bozak back long-term. The return could be higher in terms of the pick Chicago gives for the cap relief.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NateElder12</b></div><div>i'm interested to see what Leafs fans think of that trade. Kapanen seems to be a hot button topic when he's in trades.</div></div>

From a Leafs perspective I don't see it happening. Kapanen is probably the Leafs best prospect not in the NHL and should be up for a full time job next year while still being cost controlled. We already traded Harrington away once and he is a part time NHL at best so I don't see the attraction from the Leafs perspective to have him as the +.

I appreciate that you did at least take the Leafs need for a RHD but with only two years left and 30 years old I think Johnson is at the end of is prime years. When I look at his advanced stats he looks to be a 3/4 guy. I think we would want to try and get a 2/3 guy or at least a solid 4 (who is younger) if we traded Kapanen, and particularly someone who is more on the defensive side of the game.

Maybe something could work around JVR with some retention on the Leafs part (or at least I think that gets closer to fair value) for Jack Johson but even then not sure if playing style wise there would be a good fit. I assume part of the attraction with Kapanen is the expansion exemption, is there another Leafs prospect that would interest you?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeLeafer91</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rgtai</b></div><div><i>Some interesting trades there.

Really don't like the Buffalo trade, Reinhart has been playing wing for Buffalo and we are giving up 3 first rounders including first overall for him plus the 8th? Seems to heavily favour Buffalo..</i></div></div>
Reinhart is a natural centre, he played wing in Buffalo because they have O'Reilly and Eichel and it was his rookie season. I think Reinhart is pretty good but not sure what the right balance would be. I think the price would be steep as he had strong rookie debut and was the 2nd overall pick.</i></div></div>

Reinhart is a center but if I remember correctly there was talk of him being a wing in the NHL when he was drafted. When you are giving 1st overall + for and second overall pick the plus needs to be on the other side. I don't think Reinhart and the player you get at 8 given the drop off in the draft is greater than the number 1 pick that gets you a potential franchise center. In Reinhart's year nobody was putting the franchise tag on him.

Laine will probably play in Europe or in the AHL all next season. Robidas probably will be buried in the minors unless he has another season ending injury.

There is a good change the Leafs will trade Cowan to cap strapped team. Due to salary quirks, Bickell's buyout is 1m a year for 2 years. Cowan's is a salary credit of 650,000 in year one and a hit of 750,000 in year two.
Agree with PAP will get a higher salary from the Leafs or someone.</i></div></div>

In terms of PAP, its more just a veteran presence on the top line (though I suppose at this point Kadri could be considered that). What do people think of Michalek to show case from a deadline trade? I was worried that he looks like he's lost a step in recent games though.
