I'd trade Nylander for it.Sikura, Fortin, Quenneville? Haha
Detroit is gonna back up a Brinks truck for the guy
My prediction is the Leafs trade William Nylander and sign Pieterangelo.
Jokiharju for Willy and they sign Petro with the saved cap space...oh wait stan already dealt joki for Willy brother
no way I want to sign Petro at his age and the length of contract he will want. he is not going to play at this level for much longer...
Or a Anaheim, or Minnesota, or a couple others.I’ve never gotten the expansion draft-worries. At worst you lose a #4/5 Dman or a bottom 6 winger. Unless you do something dumb like Florida did with Marchessualt.
Trading Jokiharju most likely had absolutely nothing to do with the expansion draft and more to do with dealing from a position of strength (d prospects) to a position of weakness (forward prospects).

You can lose top pair or top line talent when you just ignore it for years but have too many Dmen to protect.
There would be a lot of moving pieces for this to happen. 3 of Smith, Saad, de Haan, and Maatta would have to go. What does Krug get 5X6M?
Marchessualt AND Smith. The two guys that f***ed the Hawks the hardest in the series with Vegas this year lol. Thanks Dale.I’ve never gotten the expansion draft-worries. At worst you lose a #4/5 Dman or a bottom 6 winger. Unless you do something dumb like Florida did with Marchessualt.

Teams outside of Florida lost a lot more than a 4/5 D. Theodore is a good example of that.I’ve never gotten the expansion draft-worries. At worst you lose a #4/5 Dman or a bottom 6 winger. Unless you do something dumb like Florida did with Marchessualt.

Schmidt I would add off the top of my head too. He is a solid playerAnaheim, Minnesota, and Columbus (because they didn’t realize what they had) are really the only examples of losing more.
