Thread: New Look Still Competitive
Quick Breakdown of my thoughts

Calgary absolutely fleeces the Leafs. They get a player who is down on his luck (put in a psuedo-shutdown role with Marleau/Kadri, couldnt produce)

Philly gets absolutely ripped off. Ratcliffe had a crazy good season with the Storm and he could be positioned to be a Top 6 player. Brown is 3rd/4th line at BEST.

Columbus takes the deal 40 times over. They get a late 1st, an upgrade over Jenner and they still get more. Petan has potential, but he could ultimately be our next Leivo unless Babcock adapts.

Carrier had a career year. And he is a decent depth option with Reaves for Vegas. Not sure if they move him for peanuts.

And we need Sparks for expansion. It's either we lose Sparks to waivers or we lose him to expansion. Allows us to keep Kasikuo in the minors. If Sparks survives expansion, then we can ship him off for whatever he is worth at that point. Could be a 1st, could be as low as a 7th.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>very interesting trades.

How does this help the team though?</div></div>

In the Boston series players like Nylander, Brown, Marleau were almost non-existent. By acquiring Jarnkrok, it gives a cheap Center that can also play on the Penalty Kill (which we desperately need). Jarnkrok also allows Nylander to go back to Matthew's wing, which should help with each players success. Foegele brings more speed to our lineup, and provides another Hyman to the Matthew's line (someone that isnt afraid to go deep in the zone, but has the execution to help the line succeed while also providing a physical aspect.)

TVR allows the Leafs to keep Sandin and Liljegren and Hollowell in the minors until after the expansion draft, which TVR could easily be exposed to.

The defence is a project for the Leafs. TVR provides a cheap short term solution until the long term arrivals of Sandin etc help to cement the back end.
