Robertson trade makes little sense, better to just send him down to the Marlies and retain a bit of depth. A 2nd and 5th would be 5 to 6 years away and even then would only have about a 40% chance of being equal to Robertson.
Markstrom or Samsonov? Sort of six of one or half dozen of the other. I can't really say the Leafs would be better off either way, so something not really worth doing.
Tanev would be a good add as we all know, but the trade as presented here likely does not work.
I think it would be a straight 1st for Tanev with 1.5m to 2m retained, to start. Calgary might want more but so far no one else has met that price. Minten is not worth giving up to rent Tanev. Dumba would likely do in place of Tanev and I think the Leafs could get him without giving up one of the few good prospects the Leafs have.
