Isn't that a awful trade for the Leafs one year of OEL, a young starting Dermot, and two top picks?

Kinda confused on why William Nylander + isn't coming back to Philadelphia for Ivan Provorov.

The only trade that makes any sense is the Arizona one.

just be lucky it wasn't leivo, carrick and a 2nd like half the trades made by leafs fans.

Both Arizona and Columbus say NO, Neither of those deals net you Seth Jones and Oliver Ekman-Larsson.

If Philly wanted Nylander for Provorov straight up I'd do it if I were Shanahan and co.

Provorov is one of the NHL next best defensemen, but Nylander is doing good but not as good as Ivan Provorov. William Nylander for Provorov would be fair-ish but it wouldn't help the already good Flyers young crop of offense. I doubt the Flyers are trading Provorov though. Jones is an easier target for the Leafs since Columbus has a good young defense group.

I take it this may be a joke or exaggeration, but the Leafs defense is nowhere as bad as requiring this overhaul. The Dermott trade is a steal by Arizona.

The only part I like is the idea of swapping Zaitsev. One acquisition on the RHD during the off-season is all that is really needed.

I'm the last person to want to see the Leafs trade prospects and picks, especially the 1st rounders but potentially having 3 legitamite no 1 dmen and a soon to be no 1 dman in Rielly will make life alot easier for Andersen. If the Leafs can sign OEL beyond the last season of his contract its worth it.

Yeah, but Philly wouldn't. Provorov is top-30 in scoring for a defenseman even though the only PP minutes he get are on our awful 2nd unit, he plays nearly 25 minutes a night, is probably one of the best skaters in the league, and is a spectacular shut-down dman.

It is ridiculous to give up so much for a one year in hopes he signs long term. Just wait a year.

Just sign OEL in 2019, don't waste giving up Dermott and the picks that you said you didn't want the Leafs trading.

Leafs are not this bad for this type of overhaul. If you wanna do 1 of these trades... maybe? Not 3. Especially losing 2/3 trades that isn't needed... I like the Jones trade.

I've edited out the OEL trade and traded for Sergachev instead. A younger cheaper d man who hasn't reached his prime. Leafs have all the cap space to keep everyone as well.

Tampa isn't doing that Sergachev trade. Yzerman laughs then blocks Lou's number.

Still unnecessary though... Dermott will be a good top 4 D, Lilegren also. So a top 4 of:
Rielly-Zaitsev
Dermott-Lilegren
Doesn't look too bad in 2 years.

That might be the worst package you could have put together for provorov.
