Thread: Dubas Dream Analytical Offseason
These trades are based both on rumors of potential ones and the Leafs needs while evaluating trade value.
With Edmonton, something along those lines will happen. If bottom tier 2nd liners can be traded for late first round picks at the trade deadline, I see no reason Brown can't go for a 3rd.
With Vancouver it was very tough. Initially I had a trade for Tanev (solid right handed defenseman with same cap hit as Zaitsev but only 1 year left). There are rumors that they may trade Juolevi and that they want Zaitsev. It has been reported due to interest, the Leafs don't need to add incentives in a trade to get rid of Zaitsev.
With Anaheim, if Eaves is to be out, a deal very similar to that will happen to dump the cap. If not, it sounds likely a similar deal will be done with Arizona in exchange for Hossa's contract and he will be put on LTIR.
With Vegas, a trade along those lines can very well happen. Miller was a healthy scratch often last season and they don't really use him much. They need to clear cap space and have been losing picks and prospects in deals lately (ex. Pacioretty, Stone...) so they will want to get some back. I do agree may need to sweeten it to a 2nd rounder though.
