Thread: What would you trade for Trouba?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billius</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>We_Want_The_Cup</b></div><div>The Leafs should really consider sending Connor Brown+ type package for Trouba. Anyway, your forward group is quite good and needs a fair chunk of your cap money in the near future. Why not shift one part of that money from F to D? Worth it, imo.

I got no horse in this race though.</div></div>

Any trade like this for a top pair RHD will feel like an overpay to most Leafs fans who are in love with these young forwards lol. I agree that Leafs probably need to rebalance some $ to D but it's tricky with the 3 rookies needing $25M+ in a couple years. Most of my projections sacrifice further forward spending beyond the Big 3 for a top RHD signing.</div></div>

While we are talking trades. Parayko is a stud!

I'm ok with a big package going out if it brings back a top pair RHD. But ONLY for that.

Thread: What would you trade for Trouba?
JVR/Komarov, Rychel &amp; Dermott.
JVR and Komarov are expiring but help them this year and can be replaced internally with Leivo (hopefully we can re-sign at a good rate next off-season if it still leaves room for the big 3).
Rychel as a wing prospect because above are UFA (also there is no clear path for him in the Leafs org).
Dermott as a d prospect to replace Trouba down the road (Dermott's down to about 5 - 7 on LHD depth, making his road to the show almost impossible barring catastrophic injuries).

I think Trouba is the best fit too, right age, right side, right size, right skill-set.
Not sold on Manson because of the minutes he plays and I know Tanev's numbers look good but I've never been impressed watching him (I know defensive d men aren't supposed to attract attention but the best ones make you say "wow, how did he escape that forecheck" sometimes).

Thread: Leafs. BOOM!
I don't see Shattenkirk getting much more than 6, that would put him top 15 in defence cap hit. Defence doesn't need THE ANSWER, just stability. I think there is depth and stability with that D corps. Kruger gives more flexibility to move up the lineup if injury or deadline Bozak trade. Maybe raise the pick coming back with Kruger, but that deal works for both sides. Timashov replaces Panarin for the Hawks and will be in tough to crack the Leafs roster because there is depth on the wings in that age group. Move the pick down the pipeline a little. Get rid of Hyman so Babs can't put him on the top line. Marchenko and Marincin are replacement level players not prospects. Franson wasn't unsuccessful here. He liked it here and played well enough on a terrible team to have value in picks and prospects during a rebuild. Also Fehr or Sosh could go down for Dermott if 8 D are wanted instead.
