Awful! That's a gift to St.Louis. Morrow and Subban are 1st round picks plus Bruins trade their own 1st rounder. Blues better throw in Steen.

Wonder is St Louis might do this type of trade just to have more cap room next summer. Blues may want a centre, Spooner?
Don't think the Leafs would want Koko or UFA Miller. A more substantial prospect would be preferred.

It's funny how different people's values for players are. If the Leafs got Khoklachev and a 3rd for Parenteau I'd be thrilled.

And from a guy who just got ripped for supposedly under-valuing Shattenkirk, the Bruins are definitely not getting the worst of that trade. Loui Eriksson is a a good player but a UFA next year, and Morrow is a marginal NHL player. And goalie prospects are a crap shoot.

I like Shattenkirk a lot, but I'm not sure you're getting him for a UFA, and two unknown (albeit good upside) prospects in Morrow and Subban. Blue don't really have a great need for Subban with Allen, and also having in the organization Binnington and Husso.

The Toronto deal.....I actually don't mind PA, as he's a rental and putting up good numbers this year, but I don't know, could you get him for less than Koko, Miller, and a 3rd? I guess Palhal could give better insight on that. With TOR out of it, he will be a guy they look to move for pieces. Not sure what his value is though. Hell, he may get better than that package. I'd rather hold onto Koko and use him in a deal as an add-on for a player with term, or a better UFA rental than PAP.

Don't listen to BruinsGM though, guy has no clue.

As a Leafs fan, I would be happy if the Leafs got a 2nd for PA. I would do Koko straight up as well. Low risk/high reward to me.

The reason I said "NO" to Koko, is that the Leafs seem to have centres in the NHL and AHL. Don't know if an iffy centre suits Leafs need. As Jarrett suggested a 2nd for PAP would be probably the best scenario. What I would really like to see if Dallas came calling (hopefully through injury and desperation) Parenteau would be a nice fit as would Roman Polak. In return one of Dallas' near ready NHL defencemen....maybe Honda.
I know it's only half a season long but the Kessell trade looks good for the Leafs....Kessell and his 6.8m salary has 2 more points than Parenteau 1.5 m + 1.2 m retained salary.
And FutureNHLgm....in Leaf Land, being 5 points out of a playoff spot is like.....a Stanley Cup run. TOR isn't out of it.
