Most likely a 2nd round pick, and then maybe another small asset if multiple teams want him.

ryan's running a pretty hot on ice shooting percentage (5% higher than his entire career basically) and a similar personal bump while getting fed some pretty easy minutes. It's good for him and all, but im not giving up too much to bring him in

ya exactly y I didn't give up a pick in the first 3 rounds or a good prospect

yeah, but you did include Korshkov, who is having himself a pretty darned good season. I wouldnt throw him in on a rental

fair point

Because he is running hot and his situation it almost pointless trying to predict his value at the TDL. If the TDL was tomorrow I do think someone would give up a 2nd to get him. Beyond that who knows.

yeah, someone would, but i dont think that someone would be the leafs. He'd be a nice add, but the return on his short life as a leaf wouldnt be worth that gamble imo

Id love a late 2nd but its probably a 3rd. Honestly with the love fest that went on when he got here I feel like if he doesn't wanna move Steve isn't gonna move him.

There is still a lot of hockey to be played and he could be the cheapest of the rentals

if the leafs are still beat up around the deadline i definitely knock on that door

Detroit rather easily declines this trade, We'll get a by far better offer then this.

No retention as we need it for other players at the deadline. But a 2nd or a 3rd and a good prospect works
