My thought would be Drouin and Callaghan for Tanev + a 2nd rounder Then we incentivize Las Vegas taking Sutter in the Expansion Draft say with a 3rd rounder and Callaghan can be our 3rd line center. Just a thought. Flame On Callahan is a winger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brobidus Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Getting back to Tampa... Seeing as we all really like the Tanev to Toronto for 1st + Kapanen trade, how about something along those lines? Brett Howden + 14th OA (Pettersson, Suzuki, Veselainen, Rasmussen, Hague) + Garrison for Tanev + minor add. So in my eyes: The Toronto trade seems a tad bit in our favour if we look at it in terms of value. At least in my opinion. Brett Howden is in many ways their top prospect (and a center), he has put up good numbers in the WHL and the AHL (low sample size) but most importantly has great size. TB is loaded and have Mitchell Stephens right behind Howden, so losing Howden isn't as big a deal. I think he is better than Kapanen. The first is better than Toronto's. Garrison would need to come back for cap reasons. The add from our side is to level the trading field a bit and make it more attractive for the Bolts, also to level the amount of contracts going both ways (perhaps important for Tampa?), I'm thinking something along the lines of maybe Subban, maybe Lockwood, maybe Brisebois? If that is too rich we can always add Grenier, Cassels, Mckenzie or McEneny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still space on the top pairing for a RHD like Tanev in TO. Or if Reilly didn't want to play the left side Tanev can still pair well with Gardiner.

That's why we should NOT trade him to the HATED Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TO is in a position to trade for Tanev pre-expansion draft if they want to, really the only D they need to protect are Reily and Gardiner and they could protect Tanev too. Zaitsev isn't eligible.
