Instead of these crazy trades for OEL, here is a crazy trade for Trouba:

To WPG: B. Schenn, Simmonds, Coburn
To Philly: Trouba, 2nd round pick

Followed by:

To LA: Amac
To Philly: Richards (salary difference retained by LA), 2nd round pick

Winnepeg significantly bolsters playoff depth to compete in the West, LA gets out of Richards contract and adds a defenseman

I've watched the Leafs three times in the last 10-12 days, and they have looked a little worse each time

In other words, they better not bring their asses to the WFC and get a win

I could bring up that the CDN dollar is dropping still, and have a post telling us it won't adversely affect the cap

Ah No.

Unless there is something that totally blows my mind the only deals I would looking to make at or before TDL are moving 3 Dman.. Weather that be Streit and Coburn for 1st picks in return. Or Schultz, L Sxhenn, Grossmann for 2nd or 3 Rd rounders.
Then Hexy can do his thing at draft and UFA signing day

Sure why not, it will bring a change to the OEL talk

Not the slightest bit interested in Richards and that contract. It will do nothing but hinder the team in the long run. He isn't even worth 3 mil a year for 3 years to me. 5 year @ 5.75 is b.r.u.t.a.l.

I want to offer Michael Raffl, Scott Laughton, Robert Hagg and our first this season.

What's more realistic is one of Brayden Schenn or Sean Couturier, Samuel Morin or Travis Sanheim and our first this season.

What should get it done is Wayne Simmonds and our first this season.

why not just trade all our picks away for the next 2 seasons & abandon the drafting & developing

We would be sending back the same contract with them retaining salary the main reason I put it in, besides my strong desire to see Richards back in the orange and black, is because we gave away two forwards in the first deal.

Yes the trading for player after player trying to win a cup has worked out so well over the years

At least there is some logic behind discussing OEL. Some guys here still want to trade for Weber, and even better think Nashville would move consider moving him when they're one of the best teams in the league and gearing up to be a serious cup contender over these next few years.

Hmm...Mike Richards for Andrew MacDonald and Couturier in some sort of package or Oliver Ekman-Larrson. Hmm...

AMac playing at his current level contributes a heck of a lot more than Richards would. Its a pass for me.

Fair enough. I think Trouba is going to be a top pairing defenseman and that Winnipeg having two right handed shooting top four defenseman already (Bogo and Buff) could allow us to get him without trading Mase, Giroux, Jake, Sanheim, Morin, or our first this year.

You definitely do not want to touch the contract.

I'm interested in what Hexy apparently offered Florida at the draft for Ekblad. Simmonds was apparently the deal breaker, right. Gotta imagine the prices would be similar.

You know, I'm sure Giroux can get you a Shea Weber, it doesn't mean you should make that deal. Guys like Giroux, Voracek, Mason and Simmonds are important to this team. Beyond them, we've gotta be careful. I wouldn't trade Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn, Samuel Morin or Travis Sanheim for anything unless that something brings a lasting impact on the blue line.

Wow heaps of creative writing about trade scenarios going on in here today!
