Thread: NEXT YEAR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>I would say Janko is worth more than Bennett at this point, I don't mind your valuation of Bennett with Perreault and Tanev, I think that there would need to be some retention on Perreault because of our Brouwer situation if we could dump Brouwer somewhere I think I would take that trade. I have tried to make a couple teams that involve Winnipeg trades but the Flames and Jets are hard to trade between. The one I thought of that seems a little nuts was:

Giordano + a pick

for

Byfuglien

The pick would be to counter the longevity of the Gio contract, low round pick though because Buff is costing more.

For two teams that are entering their window for winning I think it becomes difficult because any trade would have to be a hockey move as opposed to prospects and picks for players.

Edit: Just to confirm, I thought of that trade probably mid season, before Buff became a playoff all star!</div></div>

I think Calgary needs to evaluate their defense and think about trading away Brodie. He has been a liability defensively most of his career but he makes up for it on power play. Competing for 2 LHD spots would be Kulak, Kylington, Rasmussen (even though he is right handed), and Valimaki. Do you think Scherbak (RW) would be enough for Brodie?

Thread: Speed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DJSums17</b></div><div>Okay 1st this trade was to get rid of Zaitsev so if it's Nylander, trade talks starts with Subban. I like Ellis but he's not the same value as Nylander and Watson is a Hyman, Brown, Grundstrom, Johnsson. Etc. We don't need another Watty.

As for getting Rinne, I do agree with you that Freddy is the Leafs guy but they probably want Rinnes contract off the books if they are getting rid of the cost efficient Ellis for a longer more expensive contract (for at least next year anyway) that's why I also added Sparks. Saros and Sparks can be a very good tandem next year especially behind that D core.</div></div>

The Leafs need a 1st pair RHD. I think they could go for a run if they use Nylander to make this trade happen. Zaitsev can be a good 2nd or 3rd pairing on the right side, no doubt. Ron Hainsey should be playing bottom pair role next year hopefully. Given that, I believe the Leafs may be in a good place to part with Nylander for some immediate needs.
