Description

Let's just assume that the CAR trade is accepted. The point of this post isn't the valuing the CAR trade whether or not it's too much or not enough...blah blah blah

What would would it take in a trade for the MAIN piece to simply be dropping the top 10 protection? It's obviously a no brainer if you think TOR is 100% playoff bound because that means either of these trades are essentially free. BUT there's a very small chance (16% as of today) that you're giving up a HUGE piece.

How much do you believe in your own team...just to MAKE the playoffs?

Trades

CHI

2020 1st round pick (TOR)

CAR

Lehner, Robin

CHI

Holl, Justin

Additional Details:

Removing the top 10 protection. It's a gamble, but statistically speaking might be the best trade you can get...no?

Even now, there's only a 16% chance at a top 3 pick.

TOR

Gustafsson, Erik ($600,000 retained)

CHI

Ceci, Cody

Additional Details:

Removal of top 10 protection.

It's an either or trade. Just curious.

TOR

Crawford, Corey ($3,000,000 retained)

Retained Salary Transactions

Erik Gustafsson: $600,000 (50%)
Corey Crawford: $3,000,000 (50%)

So you'd drop the top 10 protection of your 2020 1st round pick for BOTH of these trades?

Yup, I think that may work, provided sandin is called up.

I really like the concept of this deal, but I'd only make it at the deadline if Toronto is hovering around 10th place. Obviously if they are in the playoffs by then we shouldn't do it, or even if they're right on the bubble since it isn't worth giving up valuable assets just for 3% lottery odds. But if we do get their pick and they're close, I think this could be a good gamble to make.
