No, just be sellers at the deadline. It takes time for defense to develop so give Dahlin and Joker another year. Team has a lot of bad contracts expiring this summer and should have a top 10 pick as well (solid chance they can jump right into the line up if its top 5). Cozens should be ready and might be able to play 2C, Mitts should improve but can maybe be traded. UPL should be able to make the jump next year or the year after. Patience is a virtue and making haste irrational decisions will only hurt the team long run.

I do think the team should try and move a RD. Also look for a RHW and a LD for the 2nd pair

No way Toronto does that

Didnt know Ristolainen is the new Karlsson.....

As a leaf fan myself I understand where you are coming from. But put in perspective The Return on RENTAL karlsson with no guarantees he resigned was 2 solid prospects a top 9 forward and high 2 draft picks. To say 3 years of Risto can’t get 1/2 of that is being a little bias. To say Kapanen is anything more then A Top 9 on most contenders is incorrect at best Kapanen is a 2nd line winger

Why would the Oilers give up a 4th and 6th when Sheary was traded for a 4th to Buffalo. He came from a better team for only a 4th no way Oilers will give up a 6th as well

Not that i disagree, but he only cost a 4th because our dum dum gm accepted hunwick as a cap dump as well.

Ristolainen isnt needed, hes help value to get past First Round is equal to Ceci's ( as much as this sound blasphemous ). There are many more assets ( in my books 7 ) that can be thrown into 2 x Defensive D aquisition....that was my point.

no need to explain me where Kapanen ranks, hes 3rd Line winger, being on reasonable contract putting up 40 Points not leetching on Matthews, im fine with him to stay....

No interest in trading Risto to the Leafs.

The Oilers trade is interesting seeing as we took a cap dump back in order to make it a conditional 4th/3rd so a 4th and a 6th should be about right
