Thread: 2 Moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Liljegren a 1st and a 2nd for half a shortened season of ekholm to play 3rd pair????</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>in theory it wouldnt be so bad as Tampa won with a very strong left side (Hedman, Sergechev, Mcdonagh) but still the problem becomes Seattle as if we did this Brodie or Ekholm would be taken.

In general I see Dubas looking for a gritty Hyman type player (Nick Paul) instead of another D as rn leafs have enough of them</div></div>

1. Half as season is half a season. He has another year left &amp; the 2nd is conditional
2. Brodie has a NMC &amp; has to be protected
3. They could always protect Ekholm over Holl &amp; even if the 2nd goes to the Preds (make SCF) &amp; he's taken by Seattle that means Dermott could still be a Leaf. Cause at the moment that's who the Leafs are gonna lose. Leafs are gonna protect Auston, Mitch, Willie &amp; John up front, Rielly, Brodie, Muzzin &amp; Holl on D &amp; Campbell in net. You don't have to protect UFAs, Mikheyev isn't eligible to be exposed, so that leaves Kerfoot, Engvall &amp; Dermott.

Anyways, it might be a steep price I think it's worth it. Especially if like Tampa Leafs win the cup

Thread: Why Not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McDavidFan97</b></div><div>You saw trades other teams offered for Forsberg? Rumours aren't exactly real offers. I'm comparing this trade to the Hall trade last year while considering Forsberg &gt; Hall, and half of his $6mill contract is being retained through next season. Maybe they remove one of the mid tier prospects or the 2nd round pick. This offer is a slight overpay but I figure that's what it will take</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Maybe teams have learned from that Hall fiasco. NJ became a .500 after he left and Arizona got worse with him. To me, Toronto is one of most illogical teams to be make a big play for a winger....but it seems to be CF fantasy that Leafs have to be in on Forsberg</div></div>

Honestly I'd rather go after Ekholm but the rumors I've heard are for a forward (top 6) &amp; might as well go big. I think the Leafs really just need to get &amp; stay healthy cause can always call up Robertson for scoring depth. As for the trade it felt like a bit much but with Preds retaining half felt it was needed, though you could make a pick conditional or drop a prospect.
