There's no chance it happens.
It can't be that far off and it solves your X draft problem.

Zaitsev is exempt, right? We would likely lose another dman anyways, probably Scandella. Then we are loaded on the right side and weak on the left.
If Brodin is going to Toronto then Nylander is coming back. There's no interest in a quantity for Brodin trade.
No team in the NHL needs JVR less than the Wild. Awful fit. We have Granlund, Parise, Zucker and Nino at LW with Greenway and Kaprizov coming soon.

Suter, Brodin, Olofsson on the left looks better than moving Brodin to the right and having Scandella still there.
Plus we likely need to trade Scandella if he's not taken at the draft anyway to clear cap space needed to re-sign both Granlund and Nino who are both due for big raises.
I'd say Scandella is gone at the draft if he isn't picked by LV in the expansion draft. Draft picks and prospects most likely. Maybe a a 3rd pairing dman. The trouble with expansion is if Dumba is taken that's a relatively minor amount of cap space saved. I'm not a fan of losing Brodin or Dumba.
Probably should offer vegas a package of Haula+pick for their choice to be Scandella.

Oh look JVR + parts for Brodin. Completely fresh trade idea here.
We need a right shot RW on expansion protected ELC coming to Wild in this deal. Leafs have none.
Leafs have Kapanen. 20 year old RW, expansion protected.
33 points in 33 AHL games. Injured at the moment.
I'm on board with this too. We don't have space to resign haula anywayI'd say Scandella is gone at the draft if he isn't picked by LV in the expansion draft. Draft picks and prospects most likely.

Leafs have Kunin, Kaprizov, Greenway, Tuch and Ek that will likely be on the Wild within the next couple of years. We don't need to be adding forwards at the expense of Brodin. Nylander would be a luxury, not a necessity. Brodin is a necessity, even if Scandella gets his act back together and Olofsson continues to play like a vet rather than the rookie he is. Brodin's ability to play both sides well makes him too versatile to lose.
Which defenseman are you exposing in the expansion draft though?
This will depend 100% on who you are asking.
Not as outlandish as fans seem to think.
JVR spends his a good part of his off-season at his "cabin" in Minny.
Could see him strongly considering signing.
For league minimum? Because we don't have money or roster space for him.

The bolded is fair, but to think Brodin fetches Nylander is exaggerating the worth of Brodin.
