How about straight up 1 for 1:

To ANA: James Van Riemsdyk(LW)

To TOR: Josh Manson(RHD)

This allows ANA to stay with the 7-3-1 so they don't lose Jakob Silfverberg in the expansion draft. The Leafs get a solidified top 4 on D (Gardiner, Rielly, Zaitsev, Manson). We still get to keep our draft pick so we can get Cal Foote 😉.

I'd like to correct myself. Ignore the part mentioning 7-3-1.

JVR isn't enough he will be traded but I don't think him alone brings quality defenceman we will c soon.

I suggested this before the deadline and got laughed at, but manson has done pretty well this post season. I'd still do it.

Hahaha. JvR is worth Manson +++, that would be a huge loss for Leafs. I'm guessing you're thinking about the Hall for Larson deal, but that trade had merit. This trade is jus stupid.

The leafs need to sign alzner at 6 mil for 4 yrs. then trade Gardner and a package of picks or prospects to Anaheim for Vatanen.

Sign Stone and bring up dermit or Neilson


Reilly vatanen
Alzner zaitsev
Dermitt Stone.

I agree with you bowser, I think he'd make a great pairing with Rielly, he also makes Polak less of a loss if he goes bc if I'm correct josh Manson was 14 in the league in hits. I envision our D lineup looking something like this:

Rielly-Manson
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Butcher/ Nielsen? -Foote?

Will Butcher was this years Hobey Baker Award winner, he is a LHD and he's in a similar situation to Vesey last year as a team still has his rights from drafting him (Colorado) but he will soon become a free agent. Nielsen is on the Marlies and I see him coming before Dermott bc of his size. Foote is a RHD draft prospect who envision as a good no. 2 defence man in his prime but I'm hoping due to him being considered te "safe pick" that he could slide right in on the third D pairing or he could play top line minutes on the Marlies.

You have to be kidding!

A first line LW for a 3rd line Dman? Just because he's playing 1st line for the playoffs doesn't mean he belongs there. He's there only because of injuries.

JvR for Manson and a 2nd maybe or a good prospect, which Anaheim doesn't have much of.

JvR is very valuable I don't know why everyone thinks otherwise. He's one of the best in tight areas around the net, that's a hot commodity in today's NHL.

I absolutely agree JvR may be trade down and ia probably our best hope of getting a top 4 D in return, but unless it's worth it we will jus be sitting here wishing we had JvR again.

@ Bowser

We're still laughing, then and now.
