As a Leafs fan, i am wondering if there are any rebuilding teams, or any teams in general that would move a Dman for futures such as 1st+2nd+2nd/prospect. I would prefer a righty, but would take lefty that can play the right. There are only 2 hard conditions i have:
logical flaw in your premise
In those deals the teams had an idea of what the picks were going to be.
Someone getting a 1st, 2nd, 2nd from Toronto will assume the 1st is 27-31 and same for the 2nd round picks.
This seriously lowers the value in what you can get.
If teams knew ahead a 1st was mid 1st like 13-16 then that might change the value.
When Calgary acquired Hamilton Boston knew the 1st was in this range and the 2nd was a mid 2nd.
With the islanders and Calgary --Calgary didn't look like a team that would have made the conference finals. I would have projected their pick around 13-17 range at the time of the trade.
Toronto on the otherhand could win the division a nd advance so the pick likely ends up 27-31
If Im trading a solid defenseman to Toronto I am asking for Marner
