Tor: Ekblad,

Fla: sandin, kapanen, 1st

This is a trade that I think will get Toronto over that defensive hump. The cost is hefty but for a superstar like Ekblad coming into the lineup, it will totally revamp their roster. It also adds size to a lineup that could use some. This would not be the only move they should make as they should try to get a guy who can finish their checks and stand up for someone if they get hit.

Lineup

Rielly-Ekblad
Muzzin-barrie
Ceci-marincin.

I love Ekblad he would make toronto have the best top 4 in hockey. Unfortuetly he costs 7-8 million and with what was moved out in this deal isn't enough. i also don't think florida would want kapanen as forward going back. Theyd want much more than his talent level. leafs don't have a true 1st rounder until 2022.

Other than those points Ekblad is a hell of a target if those points can be worked on.

Can you imagine?

Fairy tales can come true, they can happen to you.

I love Ekblad. If we had him on the team, that would be two “exceptional players”. Then maybe we can pull a fast one with NYR and get Day. All sudden Leafs have entered “Exceptional Team” status.

Can you imagine? Ekblad for Kapanen and a couple guys not even in the nhl? I would pack all them up and kiss them all good bye. Tell them their time in Toronto was wknderful. They could never be replaced. Which is why we are trading them for Ekblad. He’s way better. He doesn’t replace those dead weight klingons. He actually makes the team better. Imagine that?

Ekblad and his history of concussions is not an issue anymore. I always say, after major injury like that, especially head trauma, give them two to three years. It looks like Ekblad passes the test. An “exceptional player”, he actually really did live up to that status (as did Tavares) . Would love to have Ekblad on the team, and if all it took was what you are offering here, it’s a no-brainer.

And I love his contract too btw. Lol.
