ho-sang for petan
Really not a fan of Ho-Sang. Has bust all over him. Don't really want him near the organization either. We already have enough entitled brats to deal with, and he's among the worst of them all.
We also don't really have a need for him or any kind of forward in the AHL right now. Big part of the reason we are moving Petan in the first place.
If Ho-Sang has finally seen the light and says he is willing to do whatever it takes, why not flip Petan for him? Petan has no future here so what do you have to lose ??
If moving Petan is due to cap/roster constraints, whose spot would Ho-Sang take? He is on a two-way contract, but I'd think he'd be looking to get back to the NHL sooner than later.
Is Stetcher really worth Kapanen?

No, he's not
Not even at 50% retention?
I originally had a pick attached but I figured the retention would be quite valuable. That allows the Leafs to ice an expanded roster, or afford a better backup (including Domingue and DeSmith).
He's a bottom pairing defender
I've been really enjoying Kapanen with Kerfoot as well and wouldn't trade him unless there's a genuine defensive or offensive upgrade available
I want to see Dermott given an opportunity before we start moving young cost controlled players
Stetcher +2nd for kap & a roster filler that Vancouver could use would be closer imo. His contract expires end of this season so the retention isn’t as much of an advantage as it would be if he had term.Not even at 50% retention?

I might try that but if he really was interested in turning it around he could just do it in the Islanders' organization. There's room on their NHL roster for an upgrade on the 3rd/4th lines.

Yeah, it's tough when the value in a trade isn't immediately obvious by looking at point totals. Having said that, If I'm throwing a contract back at Vancouver, it would be Marincin, not Holl.Not even at 50% retention?

I'd like to see a soft tradePetan for a late pick and call it a day
He was technically a top 4 RD last year, but it was in Vancouver. Admittedly did decent, but I would use him as a bottom pairing guy this year. Maybe next year he can be a decent #4 option
It's a move that can be put on the backburners for now. I don't even think Vancouver wants to jump to trading Stecher right away either. If it happens, it'll likely be in like December or January. By then, the deal may make more sense.
Plus the Leafs can always negotiate an additional pick from their side. I value Kapanen more than Stecher, but with the retention, I figured it would even out a little bit more (kind of like the Kadri-Barrie deal).
I kind of like Stetcher, but they're not going to pair him with Rielly so there's not much point. That's the position that should be looked at. Depth wise, if Holl keeps playing well, we're alright.

I don't know about you but I've really liked Holl's game and I wouldn't be keen on sitting him to play a guy in his position we had to trade Kapanen for, because I don't think Stecher can play with Rielly
