What do you guys think the “right deal” would be for them?

That's Josh Manson's music!

But it's gonna take more than that 1st to get the 50% retention he'd be wanting.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Another soft forward with no heart.

 

[Leafs87]

I would rather pick. Leafs will need ELC contributing players in the future with a flat cap.

Im assuming the need is a top 4 young cost controlled D.

Oddly I like the D prospects available around that pick so I’d rather not move it. Fabbro, Mcavoy both picked around this Mark not too long ago. With scouting improving they could grab a good player. Not saying it’s Mcavoy level but still


I’d love Schneider personally

 

[Soundgarden]

Another soft forward with no heart.

I think Poile's ears started burning just now.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Not a great year to use that 1st as currency.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Georgiev for #15!

 

[Kelly]

I'd imagine every GM with a 1st rounder would move it if it made sense.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Georgiev for #15!

That won't happen because Toronto still has Frederik Andersen and Jack Campbell under contract for next season.

 

[themelkman]

This seems like a nothing story. Every team is willing to If the right deal is proposed.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

It would have to be for someone that will help on the back end. Pluses on the first wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities. Though, like another poster mentioned, I'd like to actually draft a good prospect. The cupboards on the leafs prospects are pretty thin.

I think the devils would be interested in moving their 20th pick up to 15th I just don't know the leafs wants.

1. a deal centered around a cap dump

Miles Wood + Will butcher +20th pick
for
15th pick + AHL level players or cap dump

Miles Wood is a speed demon player and could be the Leo Kamorov like player I think you guys have been missing and With better teammates on the leafs I believe butcher would get back to his 44 point rookie season.

The devils are not trading a solid nhl defenseman and an okay forward to move up a few spots.

Deep deep draft, cant forget that

This ain't news.

Ducks get bent. Terrible. Manson and Heinen to move up from 37 to 15.

Those 3 have no value to the Ducks. They have enough bottom 6 and bottom pairing players.

There will be some nice prospects available at #15. Will Dubas be able to delay gratification and keep the pick, or will he feel that he has to make a move to ensure that the Leafs win a playoff series in the next 2-3 years? A 2020 #15 draft pick won't help there.

My point is that what is good for Dubas, and what is good for the Leafs, long term, might not be the same thing. I think Dubas is fired if the Leafs don't win a series next year...21-22 at the latest.

We have a huge glut of prospects that show promise and look like they can preform to the level that those two players are at in the lineup.

my deal might be a bit favoring to the leafs but it is hard to do trades with teams at the salary cap.

I dont get it. The only physical player the Devils have u wanna trade him. They gonna ragdoll the Devils Whos gonna fight back.? The team is super soft as it is.. Hughes Bratt and Nico will be targeted whos gonna show up and fight

 

[SI]

Keep the pick - select Schneider.

Find a taker for Johnsson to create more space.

 

[MisterT]

That won't happen because Toronto still has Frederik Andersen and Jack Campbell under contract for next season.

Plus this backup goalie with league average stats doesn’t hold that value

Kapanen?

probably the glut of 3rd line prospects we have that will be fighting for a spot this upcoming season.
