Different Approach

Team: 2016-17 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: Sep. 27, 2016

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Purely for Fun and is Based on 2 Assumptions that are a stretch:

1. Anaheim decides they don't need/can't afford Lindholm and are willing to move him

2. Anaheim is in a win now mode, willing to sacrifice their future (a little)

ANA Trade:

Toronto takes on the burden of Stoner, then adds JVR on an amazing contract, Connor Brown (could swap for Kapanen). Toronto also gives depth options of Holland and Valiev (note: these aren't value additions simply roster players to fill in roster spots for ANA on a cheap contract).

WIN Trade:

Winnipeg gets a comparable player on the left side; and since the Leafs will probably offer the best player and the Jets are in a somewhat weaker position, the Jets have to take on Stoner's contract (I also thought about instead of Stoner, swapping Kapanen for Kyle Connor)

    If you could get Lindholm...KEEP HIM

    ya he's a lefty and we need a top pairing righty more, but Lindholm will probably be in Norris conversations next year, Trouba is a little less proven with a lower ceiling

    Ok, let me try this again. Winnipeg wants Trouba to play top 4 on the left side. Trouba asks for a trade because he doesnt like playing his off side. Does trading for Lindholm, who is left but plays his off side, not leave them with the same potential problem?

    But that's wrong. He WANTS to have it that way it just won't always work out. Marincin last year, DET for years...

    Sorry Leafsfan. I'll be nicer here but again you are way off.

    Taking Stoner does help but how many times have you seen a top pairing young d man traded along with a cap dump for an underwhelming return. JVR is the only piece ANA is interested in and it won't be for Lindholm it would be for Fowler. Brown is an OK piece who can be a top 6 F but Holland and Valiev are very mediocre pieces. Guys like Holland can be found all over the NHL. Valiev's value is purely his ceiling but his floor is very low IMO. His value in a trade is very low. His value to Toronto is very high besides the fact he is just another LHD.

    If you get Lindholm KEEP HIM!!!!

    I guess it is possible ANA is more desperate than we know...

    Much appreciated, for the response and feedback, I think you're right, I would need to add at least 1 more impact player and that's only if ANA was willing to trade him (which is a stretch) and I'm not sure if we have another impact piece

    Also with Holland and Valiev I know they add 0 value I was just trying to help fill out depth for ANA.

    I just think that with all the top RFA's unsigned (Gaudreau, Ristolainen, Touba, Lindholm, Kucherov, Rakell,) that there is some team that won't be able to afford them and forced to trade, although it probably won't be to Toronto
