As a Leafs fan
A) I don't see Dubas moving JT after making a huge splash for him. It just doesn't make sense it'll hurt him in future negotiations imo for both FA's and other GM's in trades.
B) Imo JT is just a LITTLE better than Scheifele, and has a considerably higher cap hit. He's also 2 years older so I don't see Winnipeg trading Scheifele for him even with Dermott added to the trade, Scheifele's just too valuable to the Jets.
C) I don't think LA does that as they're clearly in a rebuild they might trade Roy but I doubt for an older RHD in Holl. Plus Holl was just re-signed and was playing solid minutes beside Muzzin I don't think it makes sense to trade Holl right after rewarding him for his play. I think next year that can be a really solid shutdown pair if both stay healthy.
D) As much as I like the Hawks trade, I don't think Chicago will do it firstly because of the inconsistency of Freddy's play last season, and secondly because Crow is going to be back for them next season. I'd love to see Murphy on the Leafs though and Kubalik makes a lot of sense considering we desperately need that LW that'll just put the puck in the net. Kubalik would be a massive upgrade on Johnsson. The Nylander addition would be cool too with both on the same line too.
E) Kapanen should get you more than just a 2nd.
