bobby loocid dreamer Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 2 trades give this team a new look immediately. To NYI: Alex Edler To VAN: Ryan Strome, 2014 4th WHY for NYI? Edler is a star that needs a change of scenery and Long Island is in desperate need for a star defenseman. Years of terrible have resulted in some great young players. Strome has an extremely high ceiling but it stuck in a very impressive depth chart at Centre with Tavares, Bailey, and Neilsen ahead of him. WHY for VAN? Vancouver has too much money tied up in defensemen and Edler is probably the most likely to waive his NTC. Getting a future stud in Strome to learn from Henrik will only make him better. To TOR: Ryan Kesler, RFA Chris Tanev To VAN: Morgan Reilly, Carl Gunnarsson, 2014 3nd WHY for TOR? No matter how hard they try and convince Leaf Nation, Bozak is NOT a #1 Centre. A Kesler-Bozak-Bolland-McClement depth chart looks infinitely times better than a Bozak-Bolland-McClement-Colborne chart. Kesler and a cheaper stay at home guy in Tanev would look very good in blue and white. WHY for VAN? When 5th Rounder Frank Corrado is our best defensive prospect we need to replenish the cupboard. Morgan Reilly is that guy. Carl Gunnarsson replaces Edler in the top 6 and the 3rd evens it out. Now, when trade deadline rolls around and there is some serious talent out there for the taking, we can take advantage with our cap space and make a push for the Cup before the Sedin's fade away.

Plum Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sign Grabovski and put him in the 2nd line spot and move Strome around? Strome can't play 2C yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wait, so we get Rielly but then sign and play Colaiacovo instead?! But yeah, I don't know that any of that happens. Also, Sweatt signed in Europe this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergei Bobrovsky Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Strome will be Johnny T's winger in the near future just like Drouin will be for Stamkos Toronto deal is interesting. Id rather play Jordan as 2C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanucks25 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 MG isn't going to important trade roster players for prospects. He's trying to save his job, he needs to win now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pylon05 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 1st trade is a steal fr NYI as I would ask for more than one unproven prospect for Edler who is going to put up 50+pts from the backend.(Reinhart comes to mind) 2nd trade. Why would the leaf do this when they barely have the cap space now to sign Franson and Kadri. Although this would be a good hockey trade you must look at financial situation in the cap world. More cap would have to come back our way or sweetin the pot for the trade to include either Kadri or Franson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
