Slavin is maybe marginally better than Toews but Toews obviously has the longer contract signed. Slavin is about the only guy in the league who MIGHT, just might, be a better D partner for Makar than Toews and the only guy I'd be happy about them 1 for 1 trading for. That part of the deal is pretty much a wash. Lehkonen is better than Necas as an all round player at this point (not purely points, and he should be as that's what age/experience does, it may only be 3 yeas but those 3 years make a difference) BUT Necas has a much, much higher (possibly elite) ceiling which I don't feel he's reached yet. The 'canes would be absolute fools to make this deal, and tbh there's no way Colorado chances it either.
