*Long status opinion post...*
Maybe it's because I was born in Toronto, and their my second team... However, Looking at that roster, they NEED to make a trade for Tanev. I would give up a hefty package to get Tanev, and have VAN retain half the salary to make it more cap feasible, as long as I don't give up anything on the current roster. If they can then add one more good right handed dman, I don't see a team that can beat them barring injuries this year.
For Tanev, I would give Liljegren and a 1st, for Tanev and a 2nd or 3rd, then go after Justin Faulk strong. A d core of Reilly - Tanev and Gardiner - Faulk, for the next 2 years, with the forward group they have?
Yeah, Id go to Vegas and bet on the Leafs IMMEDIATELY.

@luckylager yes I would. Not for Tanev+2nd. Maybe for Tanev+5th instead.

@luckylager In the same token, you can say, "there's a reason Liljegren was a first round pick." Tanev is not going to bring back a top superstar blue chip defensive prospect. But he can bring in a solid 1st round calibre prospect, and a pick on top. Liljegren was like 17th overall. It's not like he fell to the third round.
Liljegren is going to be a good NHL player. Maybe not a superstar first paring guy, but at least a top 4 defensman one day. Which I think Juolevi - Liljegren can be an excellent combo as a second pairing, with Hughes and a solid partner on the first pairing.
