I like most of this, but also don’t love the return on kadri, would ether move for a little more proven player, a young forward who could help the bottom six with some upside. Someone like Tyson Jost, although that is probably pushing it, but what about this:
To TOR:
Tyson Jost
2020 5th Rounder
TO COL:
Nazem Kadri
2020 2nd Rounder
Would just like to see someone a little more certain that Dal Colle come back for Kadri.
Fair point, you are right that we need someone more certain than Dal Colle for Kadri. I would like to get a top 6 forward, but due to the cap constraints it would need to be someone earning < 1,000,000 AV. Most likely someone with a year left on their ELC or a project.
I don't know enough about NYI's prospects, would they trade either KIEFFER BELLOWS or NOAH DOBSON? None of their current roster forwards make sense.
I like the suggestion of a COL trade, they could use Kadri, but Jost is their #2C right now, feels like a downgrade for them to go from the younger, cost-controlled Jost to Kadri - even with a pick.
With the Kadri trade I think we should look for a Drouin-Sergachev type deal, a proven player for a less certain but high upside prospect. Conner Timmins (#32 overall in 2017) fits this description and he's a former SSM Greyhound. Maybe Timmins + a pick for Kadri?
