From the Leafs end, I like that a lot. But I'm a big Rasmus fan, others may disagree.

 

[Lunatik]

There is less than a 0% chance we give up arguably our best defensive prospect for that.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Calgary doesn't even look at that with any interest.

 

[firstemperor]

Fair trade. Our RHD is bad and we could use a pipeline guy that has room to grow. Would prefer Brown be traded than Kap being moved though.

 

[treple13]

Pickard is a nothing in this deal. I'd rather keep Andersson than trade him for Kapanen.

 

[rent free]

no from toronto. our rw depth would be terrible with kapanen traded and nylander possibly moving to center. also i'd rather get a top-4 dman now than someone with that potential

 

[Randy Randerson]

would rather look at Connor Brown from the leafs end. A little more proven, probably a little more trade value, Kapanen's speed is a real weapon when he's not the first guy on defenses' minds, so he should fit really well in the Leafs plans

 

[blankall]

No.....Kapanen needs to prove something before we trade our best defensive prospect for him. While I know that Andersson hasn't proven anything at the NHL level either, defencemen develop much differently in the early years. A cost controlled 2nd pairing d-man is also worth much more than a 2nd pairing winger.

Flames fans say no, so you respond with your own counter proposal of an even less valuable prospect? Never change Leafs fans...never change.

remember 1 post ago when you complained about Kapanen not being proven enough? Sub in similar upside proven young NHL'er (not prospect).....and look what we have, more complaint

never change man, you're great

Lol...I actually addressed those same concerns in my post...but sure....let me try it your way:

would rather look at the negotiating rights to Stajan from the Flames end. A little more proven, probably a little more trade value, Andersson is actually worth something and will fit in better with the Flames' plans.....

Did I do it right?

you did not, unsurprisingly. I'm not gonna waste time trying to pry off the homer glasses

Connor Brown is actually a good piece. If Edmonton lands a top 4 RD I'd move our best RD prospect in Ethan Bear for him

Brown's a guy who would probably surprise people if he got top 6 usage and PP time, the Oilers would be a good landing spot for sure. We're not trying to get rid of him but I'd gamble on getting a replacement out of the system if we could find a good NHL ready RHD prospect

is Bear fairly offensive minded? We really need someone who plays a well rounded game, our defense is too high event, need to quiet it down a bit

 

[Potty John]

There would need to be more of an add from Toronto. As much as I like Kapanen, Rasmus is worth more.

Ethan Bear is a highly touted prospect, he is a more offensive guy potential PP guy. We also have Caleb Jones and could add a pick

 

[Deen]

I hate trading with the Leafs, we get bent over every single time. No thanks on principle.

 

[Randy Randerson]

Ethan Bear is a highly touted prospect, he is a more offensive guy potential PP guy. We also have Caleb Jones and could add a pick

value wise it could probably work out, but what we need is really specific to RHD that play a rounded game. Babcock rolls 4 forwards and Rielly/Gardiner monopolize the defensive PP time, Dermott/Zaitsev are capable and Liljegren is going to fit in there somewhere. Andersson fits the mold of what would help the Leafs roster if he turns out, that's the kind of guy that we'd probably make a move for
