Need a RHD

Carolina has been rumored to consider moving Pesce if there is no progress on extension talks. The Leafs could be a team that becomes interested in the blueliner.

Liljgren would give Carolina an option on the right side to replace Pesce. He obviously is not as good, but he is younger and an RFA when his contract expires and should not cost too much to resign.

The Leafs get the defensive guy they need to play beside Rielly.

Buffalo has been rumored to be trading Olofsson. Perhaps they are confident they can sign Kane this offseason. I think they should add some veteran presence to the blueline, and Brodie definitely fits that bill. If you pair him up with Power that could be a very strong pairing, especially defensively.

Leafs add some scoring in Olofsson, who is also a PP specialist which they could use on their 2nd PP unit. He also won't cost as much to re-sign unlike some of their more expensive guys, and is still in his prime.

Who do you think adds? I was assuming the Leafs would ad but do you guys think a 1 for 1 trade fair? Curious to see what you guys think of Olofsson's value because he is a great goal scorer but I am lead to believe he doesn't do much else. Cap also works out well with only $250k being the difference.

I think, being born in Calgary, there is a good chance Nylander considers re-signing.

In terms of value, I think Nylander > Lindholm. However, Dube > Robertson and Abruzzese, and is the more proven player, so I think it evens out.
