I am thinking that taking on OEL for Vancouver's first, plus Montreal adding would work
Same with Montreal taking on Granlund from Pittsburgh

Wonder why he was nearly dealt at last years deadline then 🤔

@KentMcNally I’d like to think PIT would take some older prospects that just need a change of scenery… my guess is Mysak & Norlinder.

For the Vancouver one I don’t even know where to begin

If there is retention on him I could see there being interest as a 6/7 Dman. He did not play well last year and at full cap hit it’s hard to see. That said, Toronto has only 3 draft picks this year and very few the last few years and moving forward at some point your scouts are going to want to work elsewhere if you have zero picks.
