Thread: Reilly trade to Hawks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I wish he Hawks and Leafs had got together before the Jones trade, and the Hawks had acquired Reilly for what they paid for Jones.
Leafs decline this package as they make a Cup push with Reilly, though he leaves as a UFA next season.
Thanks for the incoming the totally irrelevant LTIR Shaw in the trade.</div></div>

The LTIR Shaw thing makes more sense for the leafs then it does for the Hawks. You have to be up against the cap to use it, the Hawks have some players who could hit bonuses and if they're so close to the cap this year , it will spill over into next year. I think it's a fair trade. Reilly is a more valuable player than Strome but Chicago has more forward depth than Toronto and I think Chicago would be a better team with him. I think the Jones trade is somewhat relevant but not really.

Arizona is retooling at the very least, possibly even rebuilding cause they have nothing of substance. They lost draft capital this year and last year so giving them two veterans on two year deals gives them options to A. Keep them or B. Trade them and get pieces for them. Plus Abruzzee and Villenauve would have some attractiveness to them. Also Arizona needs to protect Hill, and I'm not sure a lot of teams would want 1 year of a goalie who's 4.5million who often injured. They could try but I think most teams would try to wait until after the expansion draft. That's why Seattle would eat half of the contract, which I don't think Arizona would want to do, and the leafs would expose Dermott and give Hallander and a 3rd. Rather than the leafs just exposing Engvall or Joey Andersan.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Arizona isn't going to trade Garland for futures (rebuilding teams only trade veterans for futures, not developing talent) and the expansion draft isn't going to sneak up on them and take them by surprise; if they decide not to protect Kuemper, they'll trade him somewhere for something.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gmgb</b></div><div>Whether or not NSH sells at the deadline, they've got more than enough Kerfoot-like players so he's not of much interest. If they do move Granlund, I'd expect a 2nd and another pick or prospect in the return - if NSH is expected to retain salary, the secondary asset should be bumped up accordingly. The Preds might hold onto Granlund based on their own playoff aspirations though. If they do or don't, they're probably interested in re-signing Granlund for next season. Bringing in Kerfoot just uses up cap space and a roster spot that would go towards Granlund.</div></div>

I think Kerfoot is a similarish player so if they want to make a run for it they can. They can even trade him before the expansion draft and gain more assets. If they really want they can resign Granland in the offseason since the Leafs most likely will not be able to resign him. The price for Granland with retention is more than fair. Hallander is a former second round pick, plus they get a third and Kerfoot. Roster spots is not important since they're probably not gonna add if anything they will sell.
