I can see Buffalo not being happy with their best center prospect being lost, and Toronto not being happy with the return on D as they are in win now mode, but options for Toronto are few when it comes to staying under the cap, and Buffalo getting Lafreniere can allow them to trade other wing assets for a potential solution at center.

Nah

I would say no as the GM of Buffalo... it's tempting but Cozens and Jokiharju are worth a lot more than Johnsson and Dermott. And the difference between a Rossi/Raymond/Perfetti type player and Lafreniere isn't guaranteed. The next 20 years is full of question marks when it comes to top 10 picks in a draft this deep.

Y'all cant win a series what makes you think you're winning the 1st overall pick

Probably just nit picking here, but Car gets your 2021 if you win the lottery

Yeah I figured it was a meh trade for both sides, I could just totally envision dubas making it out of necessity and the new buffalo GM wanting to make some noise

How about Pesce, Foegele and Buffalo’s 2nd rounder for 1OA?

shhh I'm secretly a jets fan trying to create a reality where even if toronto wins we still won't need to see Laf-Matthews-Marner become a reality

Leafs arent trading #1OA another Matthew's on ELC...

They'd move Marner or Nulander if they win the lottery.
