I gotta say something around Kadri and Shattenkirk really has my attention .. Depending on what else is involved.
I know it goes against the idea of building through the draft but at the same time the defensive core could use a stabilizing presence with Rielly and Gardiner, and Shattenkirk would be a great fit. Edmonton has suffered with a poor defensive core, and the Leafs don't have a blue chip defending waiting in the wings. Sure there are intriguing prospects but defenseman are fickle and tough to predict - plus they can take awhile to develop.
A Kadri-Shattenkirk swap would still leave Bozak as an insulator in the top 9 centre group for next year too. Plus if the Leafs do a trade around Bernier and Backlund, that gives the Leafs more insulation in the centre group.
Interesting things to consider.
I'd imagine other teams could offer more for Shatterkirk. We need more of a two way defencemen ( a seabrook mold guy) in my opinion than another puck mover.
