Yeah I think the Leafs pass. We have a better Goalie at half the price (get it?) and while Weber would help in the short term, he is declining and his contract would kill the Leafs. His value while positive, might be positive in the same way Zaitzev's is reportedly. Weber might get some okay picks and a decent prospect IF you can find the right team.
Also you are bat **** crazy if you think you get that return for them. Price might be at his lowest value ever and no team is taking that contract on without some serious retention (and even then...) while Weber I mentioned above. Hudon doesn't add anything to the Leafs. We have 5 guys like him either on the Leafs now or developing on the Marlies.
For this offer, Leafs would give you...
Weber (no ret):
+ 2020 1st (top 15 protected)
+ 2021 2nd
+ 2019 3rd
+ Andreas Borgman
+ Connor Brown
Price (no ret):
- 2020 1st (top 15 protected)
- Connor Brown
For a total of:
To TOR:
Price (no ret)
Weber (no ret)
To MTL:
2021 2nd
2019 3rd
Borgman
And the cap doesn't work so league kills the trade.
Maybe you can find a better package for Weber on his own, but I doubt it, would need 50% ret. Ask around.
