Take out the 1st round pick from Leafs to Wild, give them a 3rd round pick.

Staal and Spurgeon are both old players that Toronto doesn’t need.

I would rather have Staal than Kadri any day. Staal is cheaper, better, bigger, and a winner who would never do stupid bonehead moves that gets him suspended from playoffs.

Spurgeon is on the last year of his contract. Yes, he’s a very good player and is RHD. But we don’t need another small, skilled offensive defenseman. We need a big stay-at-home lumberjack to man the point and strike fear into the hearts of the opposition. Someone who is on a long term deal. Spurgeon we can do without.

If we are giving up long term assets like Kapanen and the 1st, we should be taking back players with equal amounts of term. Staal has two years, and Spurgeon has one. Realistically neither would be re-signed by Leafs. So we would be losing a lot of time value here.

I hunk Minnesota will continue to make changes. They are a very good team to be suggesting proposals for right now. The fire sale isn’t over yet. Lots of good players may still be available at rock bottom prices. Maybe Leafs can take advantage?
