Might be a fair trade, though it doesn't make the Leafs better this season.

Thats kind of the point though. I don't believe the Leafs are in a position to contend. They also don't have assets to improve so better to cash in of UFAs who won't be here long term anyways.

That is not an appealing package for the Leafs. Might as well keep Bert and give it a shot.

Knock out the 6th and make the 2nd a 3rd and Oilers probably say yes. I think the important think to remember is the oilers won't pay a lot for an asset if he is a rental, Holland has been a firm believer in that since his first presser being introduced as Oilers GM. It's just not his style, look at Ekholm for example. If Holland makes this deal too I think it's an hour till the deadline trying to just finish up if he thinks we need one more piece. Ideally, a 5-6 Dman is priority 1 while Backup is number 2, and furthermore, a 3C is number 3. I think this easily gets slotted to 4th in line of priority for the Oil the way Foegele has been playing, and now that we are getting Perry.

How would the oilers feel about Brodie as a 5-6?

Maybe.. But You would need 75% retention on it. Keep in mind we have Broberg we are gonna call up for playoffs so probably looking for just a cheap 5-6 guy. 5.5 is not cheap unfortunatly.

Drop the second and upgrade the 6th to a 3rd and they maybe do it Bert isn’t bringing back this much

Brodie sucks!
