i think the leafs need to at least consider it, maybe add a 6th?

Sure that's reasonable - a 3rd may be a little rich anyhow. I'm honestly not too sure what Duhaime would return, but assume fair value for both teams is met.

I just picked TOR since I think he'd be well-liked by the fans there and it'd be a decent fit. But can essentially be highest bidder with him.

Preds only do this if a guy like Simashev is there at 21. If he is, then I’m down

A trade like that is not a consensus "yes they do"/"no they don't"....I understand if that's your personal contingency, but that's not really the point of the trade. It's spot on in terms of value when looking at historical comps.

I think Addison could possibly get mid to late 2nd. But I wouldn't give up our 37th for him. But this trade you proposed, I would give a 3rd for Addison.

Sign me up. Love Adison

It’ll be another first round exit for Minnesota as the central is dog **** after the avalanche and stars

It definitely is but depending on what comes of these STL moves, they could potentially put together a better team than what's listed here.

Yeah I don't think he'd return 37th - that's too much. It's probably somewhere between 45-60? Little more if you're lucky or slightly less if things go cold on draft day.

St Louis I won’t take seriously as long as Binnington is in net for them

Yeah fair enough - I think Hofer is set to have a bigger role this year, but he's unproven so that's still a question mark.

Regardless, it does seem like it will be a pretty shameful battle for 3rd in the Central.

You know you ****ed up when the Pacific surpasses your talent
