You could fetch more for Ekholm elsewhere. Thinking about PHI or MTL who have way more young quality assets available. Picks won't do it for the leafs they'll have to trade someone like Amirov and a 1st ++. Granlund trade is fine. Though I would stick with Kerfoot at this point. He's more valuable as a 3rd center than what Granlund can bring

No offense to kerfoot but Granlund gets more than that at TDL

I can agree, but I just don't see PHI trying to trade for another LD, especially if they don't make the playoffs, MTL is also another one I had in mind, but the leafs/ Dubas loves their guy Ekholm

Ahahahah indeed. We could also argue about the case of WPG but I just don't see any fit for NSH with WPG's young assets. Perfetti and Heinola are untouchable so that let's up guys like Vesalainen and Niku...

Don't see it happening, but how cool would he look in a WPG shirt? All jokes aside, the leafs are problaby the only ones that will really try and get Ekholm

True...

As a Preds fan I don’t hate it, but I don’t think it’s the best deal we get. I don’t think we have interest in a guy like Kerfoot, we’d rather take a 2nd round pick (maybe add a 3rd or a C prospect if it gets competitive) and move on.

For Ehky, I think Poile will be determined to get assets that can help in the near future. Your package is fair, but we want pieces that can contribute in the 2022-23 season. From what I know about Liljegren he won’t cut it as the only prospect in the trade, especially since we have a number of guys similar to him (Allard, Davies, Carrier, Farrance if he signs). I know a guy like Amirov is probably off limits, but we need someone with a really high ceiling.

Alright, thank you for the insight, ill remember this next time.

Leafs take those instantly.
