Description

Just a few trades

JVR one is one of the most discussed. Makes a lot of sense for both teams. Anaheim get a chance right now with their current core to take that final step to a cup. Toronto gets future assets. Max Jones is a solid prospect, could be a good power forward down the line for the top line.

fehr and martin are for picks, mainly because we don't need them.

the big trade is for landeskog, it would cost a lot, and hence they get a top 10 leafs prospect n Johnsson, a potential steal in timashov, a first and 2nd in a loaded draft, and a centerman to replace duchene should they trade him.

long term I think the lines will look something like:

Jones-Matthews-Marner
Landeskog-Nylander-Kapenen
Grundstrom-Kadri-Brown
Rychel-Gauthier-Hyman
Leivo-Brooks-Bracco

Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Rielly
Brogman-Liljegren
Rosen/Nielson-Carrick

Anderson
Woll

Theres still a lot of depth with a lot of trade pieces in the extra 5th line and 4th pairing. It can be used as trade pieces or replacements if some players don't pan out. The defence is pretty stacked with 6 defensemen that would be top 4 on most teams. Anderson has been great for us, woll backing him up would allow a transition from Anderson era to woll era. We could use some of the prospects to acquire a goalie if it doesn't work out.

I am assuming the Islanders are a place holder team, but we don't need Matt Martin back. We barely have room for the more talented forwards we have.

Haha. JVR dosent get you Jones and a 1st from Anaheim. For sure Anaheim says no to just JVR for Jones, but adding a 1st? Nope.

Ducks aren't giving so much for one year of JVR. And I don't understand why folks think the Ducks are so desperate at LW. Landeskog might be better player away from Colorado, but right now he's vastly overpaid. And the Leafs need Bozak this year. No guarantee is Nylander is NHL ready. Leafs have absolutely no centre NHL depth in case of injury, might as well keep Fehr and Bozak. Rychel has not proven he's a NHLer, and with cap space Leafs are much better off with Martin.

It's funny, just over a year ago, Landeskog was considered to be the best young Power Forward/Leader in the league. Now after one bad season, (all of Colorado did) he's overpaid and unwanted. I don't make this deal if I'm the Leafs as it really isn't servicing an area of need. Colorado has said it is looking for D help as well but this doesn't address that either. However I do believe that if and when they move him he will return and improve on his previous numbers, be a 30 goal 60+ point performer. I would have encouraged this deal (perhaps a little change) before Leafs went out and brought in Marleau.

Doug, you may be right about Landeskog, and with Marleau it is rather redundant to acquire the expensive Landy. When JVR departs, is next years LWers.....Marleau, Kapanen, Martin and then wondering if Johnson, Grundstrom or Leivo are regulars

I wouldn't think so fast. Anaheim is in the win now zone, and while I think JVR for Jones + 1st is far fetched, if the deal was JVR with 50% retention for Jones Anaheim would think long and hard about it. Another 60 point player is what can push that team over the edge to cup favourites.

I'm not sure the trade gets done, it depends on how Anaheim view jones and if they value him as much as JVR for this season. Either way I think they consider it thoroughly.

Pal: I'm not sure whether or not Kapanen might be moved to the left side or possibly Brown? (I do have to say that I really liked the development of Andreas Johnson 2nd half last year with the Marlies) i think if no other moves are made they make the most sense. I don't see Leivo making the team out of camp this year so not sure where he will end up and I do believe that Grundstrom/Aaltonen will take the place of Komorov, unless they resign Komorov to a lessor contract if they can.($2M)
Obviously much of this is contingent on what happens this year as I still think there is more to come and wouldn't be surprised if any of the vets, (Komorov, Bozak, and JVR) are moved at some point.
