No thanks on Sanford.

1. Tierney is worth a 3rd round pick if no salary is retained.

2. Trade for Holden is about right.

3. Trade for Sanford is about right.

4. Ennis is worth a 5th round pick at a minimum.

Beauty, if you think they can get more for these guys, then great!! That just means that hopefully they can flip them for more value later.

The leafs do not need bottom roster players. They already have too many and keep shedding them because they have nowhere to put them

This makes a lot of sense, I'm surprised that we don't see it more often. Draft picks have their lowest value at the deadline and their highest value at the draft. Conversely, players have their highest value at the deadline.

Why aren't more teams buying low and selling high like you're suggesting?

Good concept ✔

Which players would you like to see them acquire

With the picks

Thanks for the feedback and the positivity!! I have also kind of wondered that in the past, why aren't picks acquired more when teams are valuing them less, then flipped when teams are valuing them more? I think you need to be in a unique situation, but you need to following:

- Expiring contracts that are attractive to contending teams
- Not at the beginning of a rebuild, where you want to hoard as many picks as possible.
- You have salary cap room to make trades without going $ in, $out. Have the capability to be relief for cap strapped teams who might be willing to let go of some players with higher value contracts.

If you are setup with the above, you position yourself well in my opinion.

Thanks, I like the concept too!

I would head after some Teams that are tight against the cap that might need some relief.

Who would immediately come to mind would be Marchessault, or Martinez out of Vegas (they will likely need to do something to be cap compliant in the offseason, and re-sign Hague). Maybe a 2nd and a good prospect for one of those guys?

I think Winnipeg might need to lose someone in the offseason too, with Copp, Dubois, and some of their young guys coming up for contracts. Maybe you can peel a defenseman out of there(Schmidt?).

Florida might be a good target as well, with Barkov and Verhaeghe contracts kicking in. Maybe you can get Gudas or Montour out of Florida for a 2nd round pick?

Vancouver as well, they have high payroll, and likely want to start to re-asses what they have. Package some picks together and a good prospect to try and get Boeser?

I am not suggesting to go after all of these players, but more as options on what you could try.
