Yeah this trade does not happen at all. No way does Toronto give up both Kapanen and Nylander in a trade nor do the Blues give up their best defenseman.

Gosh, there's a whole lot of not from the Blues, and OTT won't make that deal. I'd be okay with the SJ and DET trades, the rest is a no.

Makes no sense for the Leafs to give up so much to acquire Pietrangelo. Leafs would 10 times better off, signing him as UFA next summer (if they want to) and then to get cap space they trade Nylander for assets. Besides, Pietrangelo isn't waiving his NTC this season. He's captain on the Cup champs with his team as good as any in the West. Can't be said about the Leafs this season.
Ottawa says no. San Jose might need a goalie but they cap space too...money has be returned to the Blues.
By these trades it would appear the Blues have given up for season. Why?
So just to get this trade straight ...
ST. LOUIS GETS:
Nylander x 5 years (23 year old C/W that's on pace for 60 points and 20 goals for the 3rd time)
Kapanen x 3 years (23 year old RW that's on pace for 50 points and 20 goals for the 2nd time)
1ST (Why not throw in a potential lottery pick on top of an already massive overpay?)
TORONTO GETS:
Pietrangelo x 1 year (30 year old rental who's about to demand $9,000,000 until he's 38)
Sanford x 2 years (25 year old 4th line LW with a career high of 20 points / 8 goals)
Blais x 1 year (23 year old 4th line RW with a total of 18 points in 80 career games).
3RD (Thank you for your consideration)
How about we try something a little fairer?
NEW PROPOSAL:
Pietrangelo x 1 year
Sanford x 2 years
Blais x 1 year
5TH
FOR:
Kapanen x 3 years (I'd take Kapanen's upside (30 GLS / 60 PTS) for 3 years at $3,200,000 (with RFA expiry) over a rental RD)
Gauthier x 1 year (Similar to Sanford (and plays Center) with RFA expiry)
Aberg x 1 year (Similar to Blais (better production) with RFA expiry)
Ceci x 1 year (RD roster replacement + cap space equalizer)
What do you think OP?
