Description

I think that this trade is a natural, given New Jersey's lack of depth on RW (unless the Devils want to switch Gusev over to that side, in which case it creates a weakness on LW).

I added the fourth to the draft picks switch because I thought the original offer was insufficient for New Jersey. There are some loose players (like Michael Amadio or Paul LaDue) floating around the Kings roster that could replace the fourth.

Imo TOR adds on a Kappy-Severson swap.

In general TOP4 D-men are just more valuable than mid-6 wingers.

I think that he's a top-6 RW, particularly on this team. Plus, he's on a very good contract for the Devils.

leafs add in the severson deal

the gudas contract is way to much for way to long

He might be a TOP6 RW in Devils, but that tells more about NJ being a bad team, not necessarily Kappy being that good of a player.

I think that the only way teams like NJ or Anaheim start getting to be good teams is add players like Kapanen. Because he is under team control for several more years, I don't think that Toronto has to add anything. But your position is certainly justifiable, and no less valid than mine!
