Thread: Draisaitl wants out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>I mean...Draisaitl is most definitely worth a lot more than that. Even if he was a pure deadline rental, the return would be pretty big, in your scenario you get him for the full year!</div></div>

Everyone… I’m just kicking around some ideas… Ullmark may not be the best option.. but I consider two things… if he was ever moved in a trade… the east is likely where he would go… Boston has a need for a #1 center to play with pasta… if Edmonton does move him… a #1 goalie has to be a priority for them… they need to put the goaltending concerns to rest… I realize Skinner has good stats… but he’s playoff shaky… my belief is the pressure of being a home town boy trying to win the cup is a huge mental hurdle for him.. if he showed that he can get over that… he’s the guy for Edmonton… but how long do you wait?

Thread: Just some thoughts 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JTrades</b></div><div>I agree with your thought process to move out those pieces. I'm skeptical of the cap hit of a few of those pieces coming back. Tanev, Montour, and Edmundson</div></div>

Totally agree with your assessment…. The money they are going to make is totally unknown… my thoughts on the three are this
If the Tanevs had a chance to play together, would Chris take a bit of a cut, he will be 35 along with that..
I’m almost doubling Montours salary.. if Timmons could be moved out you could free up another million, so that’s an option..
my only thought for Edmunston was he would take a small salary hit to be a part of this moving forward… if not, there are other options out there to look at..

So that was my thought process…

FWIW, this is one of the more rational Leafs ACGMs, as well as one of the better Leafs rosters, I've seen on here in a bit. I think you're on the right track! It would be fun to see both Tanevs end up on the Leafs next year somehow.</div></div>

Thank you! I posted one earlier, called the same.. on that I had matched the two Tanev brothers on the leafs roster.

Well…. You don’t necessarily know they won’t answer the phone.. and every trade starts with a proposal.. it’s not about making the Flyers bent over for the all mighty Maple Leafs… it’s about starting with feelers and see what interest there is… jumping off a diving board into an empty pool towards an idea isn’t likely a good response… just sayin…
