PensGoater99 I hope you realize that adding top 4 defensemen in the NHL is probably one of the hardest things to do, given that they take so long to develop and are unpredictable, so why in gods name would Vancouver, Anahiem, Carolina and Edmonton giveup 4 of these types of players for every single scrub the Leafs have to offer, sprinkled in with B level prospects and a couple of 1st/2nd picks. It not a trade worth making for any of these teams, especially Edmonton and Vancouver. Holy **** this is so bad
I made this based off of rumors from this season and now the offseason, nothing serious. The prospects that I have included are not "B" level prospects, they're more like A- level. I chose each player because it makes sense for both sides. For the Canes: They say that everyone aside from Aho is available, why not go after a guy that is still relatively young and is under team control for many years at a good cap hit, send them a more mobile OFD who is on the last year of his contract, if they're good, keep him, if not, trade for a massive haul at the deadline. For the Oilers: Klefbom has been rumored around in many cities, the Leafs need a better DFD type player, and in return send a TWD who's in a similar situation with term left along with a 2nd to make the deal worth it. For the Ducks: We all know that they have a massive surplus on defense. The Leafs get another DFD who can play on the PK and in return, send Hainsey for the roster spot, and also send Rosen who is playing great in the AHL and Timashov who will be a great quick sniper in the future, and also, a the 25th overall pick where the Ducks can get another future d-man in Jett Woo. For the Canucks: the Leafs have been looking at him for a while now. Send Bracco who is a point per game in the AHL to help with that young core that Vancouver seems to be building, with that, Josh Leivo who can turn into a good third liner and can be a net-front presence and also play on the PK, with that, Connor Carrick who similarly to Leivo isn't getting the playtime in Toronto, but can still be a formidable top 4 player, and not to mention, he's very quick and has a great shot.
So I don't know why you feel you have to trash everything, this was just a thought, not an expectation.
