1.) I love Morgan Reilly, I really think that he would be able to mesh well with any defenseman on the Flyers, however, I am opposed to trading young defensemen for established young players.
2.) Phil Myers might be the second best defensemen within the Flyers system (behind Ivan). Sanheim is arguably the 3rd in offense, but behind Sam Morin in defensive skill.
3.) JVR was a skilled player, but with no terms really left on his contact, and the Flyers not a contending team with his addition, I don't see the point in adding him.
4.) Trading he 2nd overall out of the lottery for a AMAC dump and prospect trading for an established young defenseman isn't the plan of GM Ron Hextall

His theory is that you wait as long as you can with the prospects, cashing in the chips when they are on your team, rather than cashing out early when you could have ended up with more money, had they stayed with your team for three more years.

For me, this trade is dependant on how quickly and effectively Myers and Sanheim can be in a top-4 role this upcoming season. If they are both ready, I would say the Leafs make this trade, no matter how much they value Morgan Reilly. I would, however, probably prefer to see Jake Gardiner leave than Morgan Reilly and since Gardiner had such a good year this past season it would make sense to sell high on him. I am sure the Leafs would be absolutely thrilled selecting either Nico or Nolan, as part of their plan to continue developing as this core grows. Even if Andrew MacDonald is used in the NHL (as opposed to sending him to the AHL and eating most of his contract), I think the Leafs could get a better (and more defensive) defenseman in a deal for someone other then Mike Green. I'd like to see the Leafs go after Calvin de Haan.

Both well thought out good points.
