Anaheim has no want for a LHD, we decline

There are very few Nick Robertson trades that I like or would accept. I really hope the Leafs keep him.

In saying that, this is one of the rare circumstances that I would accept.

These trades are all pretty one sided in Montreal's favor. Toronto is probably the only team that might accept. Everyone else declines. As for that Hawks trade, what exactly are the Hawks spending that 2nd on? The cap dump or the draft bust? That 2nd is on the wrong side of that trade.
