Open to discussions on all the trade proposals. More interested in a dialogue to balance the trades if needed than discussing likelihood...it's all for fun and we know most of these trades won't ever come to fruition.

Tavares:
I'd say NYI and SJS are out front on JT but I'll still hold out hope until it's official

Vermette:
Not sure if Vermette will sign somewhere as a UFA...he couldn't crack the Anaheim lineup for the most part..but if not, I could see the Leafs offering him a PTO and see how he stacks up against Par Lindholm and others as a 4C. He's got a terrific percentage in the faceoff dot (60% like ROR but with half the # of draws) which is an area the leafs could improve in with Bozak gone.

STL:
I'd prefer Parayko as a younger, cheaper RHD, but seems that STL might be more willing to let Pietrangelo go. I've loved Alex since he was drafted and I think his leadership on the backend would pay huge dividends. Can't imagine they'd consider a trade without a major asset going the other way. AP's $6.5m is likely around where Nylander signs for...plus his deal expires when Marleau's number comes off the books so it provides a bit of flexibility. I'm guessting this is the trade that will require the most 'balancing' to figure out a fair price.

WPG:
This trade has been discussed at length on various other threads. Something in this vicinity helps out both squads

DET:
Read somewhere that Holland likes Martin...if so he's yours for whatever you're willing to give up. If not, hopefully it's not too hard to find a taker for him

DAL:
I actually like Zaitsev and think he was the victim of being grossly over-worked at the beginning of the season. Dallas looks like they could use some depth on the RH side and Leafs get a bottom 6 winger in exchange

Leivo:
Gotta imagine that if he's not in the plans to be an every day starter that Dubas will find a home for him. Kid looks like he can play so I'd be fine if he cracks the opening day lineup.

I know it's all pie-in-the-sky fantasy but hopefully the valuations aren't far off and I think the roster has depth and balance at forward and d
