if we get Larsson he is 1st pair d man and JT isn't playing 3rd line minutes he is 100% a second-line player or top line is Matthews is gone for a little bit longer.

Why is nashville paying a 2nd for Timmins

They have 3 seconds and we are adding a 4th

NSH declines. They have a surplus on the back end.

Even for a team who would want him, that price seems high for Timmins.

Seattle declines this before Toronto's done explaining their offer, for so many reasons.

1. Even in a vacuum, Larsson's value is far, FAR, higher than Samsonov's.

2. Samsonov's numbers this season are horrendous. His save percentage and GAA are worse than any goalie on the Kraken roster. That's not a super high bar to clear, but Samsonov fails to do even that.

3. It's highly unlikely Seattle will entertain trading away Larsson anytime soon. He's too important to the team and they wouldn't be able to realistically replace him. Plus, even if they did consider dealing him, it would signal a more serious retool. In that hypothetical scenario, Samsonov, a pending UFA, would hold zero value to the Kraken.

Seattle declines and leaf’s decline the rest

For Toronto to turn down a 2024 second-round draft pick for a 25-year-old third-pairing defenseman with only 77 games under his belt or refuse to pay only a first-round draft pick for a 1A/1B starting goalie with another season left on his contract would be the worst sort of GM malpractice imaginable.

Leafs don’t sell him unless he’s valued at a first

A bold prediction, and I'm putting a pin in it.

Sure do that cause leafs aren’t trading him lol
