I can get behind one of you trades the rest unfortunately make no sense for one side or the other. The Calgary trade makes sense as Calgary is getting a serviceable player in Shore and a skilled prospect in Timashov and toronto gets some grit in Jankowski. The Anaheim deal makes no sense for us taking on a goalie one who has a M-NTC and the next milan lucic in nick ritchie. Kase .... ok lateral movement with either kap or johnsson. Makes no sense for us to get rid of our speedy gritty players on good deals in johnsson and kappy. so that trade is a hard pass. If you can tell me why carolina logically would make this deal i'll agree with it... but heres the thing you can't. if barrie has a sniff of success he will be asking 8x8 approx. 4mil more a year then pesce is getting and he is 3 years older and not as good defensively. getting our first back in that trade is a useless asset to gain. the pick is top 10 protected. I think 90% of the hockey world would say the leafs wont be this bad next year. so who cares giving a late first next year. i could go more into the trade but ill move on to the NJ deal..... its the carolina situation just in reverse lol why would we take on hall who is ready for a BIG payday and not to mention a Dman past his prime who has proven to big of an ego in two locker rooms and two cities.
I like the premise of this overhaul you've done but its missed the mark badly.
