Thread: Blow it up lads
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>I think they're all fine, except for the Forsberg and Ekholm trades. I think a better prospect and/or fewer roster dumps from TOR would bring the value closer for NSH. With the Ekholm proposal, I don't feel the (presumably) late picks are enough, with NSH having to take Moore too.</div></div>

I would tend to agree that a better prospect makes sense from the Nashville side in the Forsberg trade, but above Hirvonen, you have Amirov, Robertson, and Sandin. I doubt the Leafs would give up any of them, which makes guys like Hirvonen and Niemala make the most sense in this scenario.

I don't see Moore as negative value in this case. His contract is manageable and he's more than capable of holding down a roster spot. The Bruins are a tough case here, they don't have any prospects I'm assuming they're willing to part with (Beecher, Studnicka, Vaakanainen), and the prospects they probably are comfortable with losing, aren't particularly great. That's why I think getting those picks is the best choice, rather than getting nothing.
