Liljegren, Engvall, Anderson
for
Kuokkanen, Maltsev, Mercer

Kuokkanen could be a puck-retrieving forward on Matthews line and push Hyman to the third line. Maltsev is another defensively responsible forward. Mercer, I feel like could be Hyman, but better offensively in the future

Liljegren is ready to enter the NHL and could step into NJ's lineup as RHD, Engvall is a 4th line center IMO, maybe turn into a low-end 3C. Apparently a lot of people like Joey Anderson. If Leafs get the 3 forwards in the proposal, then Anderson won't have an opportunity with the Lefas

Why would New Jersey want Anderson back? If Engvall isn't forechecking, he isn't doing a damn thing.

I kept hoping it would get better and then I got to Mercer lol

Why would the Devils want Anderson back? He's OK player, but they moved on from him in order to get better.

those 2 have been amongst our best and most consistent forwards all year, and mercer is a top 3 prospect in our system.

And still not in the NHL, they are obviously developing him for that 23 year old breakout.

Liljegren is definitely ready for the NHL, but Leafs management just won't promote him. Last year, they promoted 28 year old Holl, instead of Liljegren. I think it's a bit short-sighted, but hey, Matthews only signed a 5 year contract. I think if he was with NJ, he would've been in the NHL last year.
