I don't think these trades are awful... But get ready for people to yell at you.They don't watch hockey. Someone will think that one bad quarter of a season kills all the value of a player, but that is complete BS

Drouin isn't getting a 2 nevermind a 2+ Jones. No one wants Drouin

Ducks pass

I don't think Edmonton would be interested in another #6-7 D, especially not at that price. More forward depth would be fine though, so I'd trade a couple of late late picks for Perreault and Paquette. Leave Wideman out please.

I don't think Toronto does that

This is something I would strongly consider if I were the Rangers. Hate giving up Kravtsov but we are getting out from the Nemeth contract and replacing him this year with Chiarot and Jones/Robertson next year would be a plus.

he was passed up for free now is getting jones and a 2nd. how do i buy stocks in drouin. i'd like to retire by the end of february.

getting out of nemeth's contract is the key to this trade. i dont think rangers need chiarot but it's not bad value.

The leafs dont need bottom 6 players, especially expensive ones

Agreed. Leafs don't touch that. Their shutdown players in the bottom 6 have been great this year.

at best Toffoli is for two 2nds, not our best prospect and a 1st + 3rd

I dont actually hate the lehkonen one, and certainly wouldnt mind it 1 bit with a bit more retention, the full 1.2 off at the deadline would mean he only costs like 300k or something against the cap, thats a really solid piece of depth for very little cost, has really similar metrics as Engvall, a second may be a slight bit much, but seeing how its next years second thats okay
Villeneuve is a really solid prospect but i wouldnt rate him any higher than maybe a B- at best i imagine he will be a bottom 6 dman, with maybe slight abilities that could help a powerplay, granted hes kinda young i imagine the leafs would wanna see him actually play at a higher level so he may be unavailable right now

Its a hard trade to quantify, because the leafs do want players for cheap right now, but they need to think, will their second round pick next year and Villeneuve carry more weight in the org going forward,


Now toffoli would be far more interesting, in theory he could get a chance to play in a role where all he needs to do is score goals in a depth role,
He would carry more impact on the leafs than lehk, if he could be retained which would be a much harder sell for the habs, but toffoli retained would be something i imagine the leafs wouldnt hate at all.

Drouin isn't the sort of player the Ducks are looking for. There are circumstances under which I could see Anaheim paying that future second for Ben Chiarot, but not for Drouin with Jones going, too.
