Thread: Playoff Leafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kyle_Davidson</b></div><div>My god so much in that trade. Hawks still say say no because Quality &gt; Quantity.

good point there, unfortunately the leafs lack any real S tier prospects outside of Sandin (who'd I'd say is off the table) so Robertson, Knies and Niemla would be the only real assets to condense the trade - trading great prospects like that for two rentals and a former 6th rounder doesn't make a huge amount of sense. I'd say the leafs could add more assets if they needed to to complete a trade, however if the trade requires an upgrade to one of those three big prospects I wouldn't do it and I don' think Dubie would either - so maybe the deal isn't there

As for trading all three individual blackhawks for more success, it's become a narrative recently with NHL gms that its goddamn impossible to make trades at this point because of COVID restrictions, hard cap and stuff like that so I'd say being able to unload two assets on the block in one move could be more appealing than deterring
