Recently saw a post by Goatson that I liked And though I'd expand.

To LEAFS: A. SUSTR (RD)

To LIGHTNING: L. KOMAROV (RW)

I've been doing some thinking and looking at cup contending teams. I. e. Pitt Chi La and Nsh and have noticed none of them have a stellar Defence. except NSH but they havnt won anything. Most cup winners have a good D core and a hell of a lot of fire power. As a result I'd like to see the following.

Leafs trades
Bozak
1st 2018 or 2nd 2018 + prospect
I think Vancouver wants a 1st tho.

Vancouver trades
Bo Horvat


Hyman Matthews Nylander
Jvr Horvat marner
Marleau kadri Brown
Martin Moore leivo/ kapanen

Gardiner zaitzev
Reilly Suster
Borgman Carrick/ polak

Anderson
Mac

cap wise is the same, and bozak will probably be flipped for another pick or two. I know it will be hard to aquire Horvat but I think as the season goes on, Vancouver will realize somthing needs to be done.
In the end I think tbis makes the leafs a true cup contender this year maybe even a cup favorite considering what Vegas thinks the leafs will do this year. Lol

Thoughts?

Pretty sure Horvat is as untouchable as it gets in Vancouver.

This is a terrible proposal.

Horvat not going anywhere, part of Vancouver's furture. Sure would love to see him as a Leaf.

Thoughts after 9 games last season leafs had 7 pts this year 9 games 14 pts hold the trade talk 4 awhile. We have something good brewing leafs will get better as season moves along. The only threat in their division is Tampa. When the leafs play well they beat Ottawa most nights.

I agree with everyone here. Yes Horvat may be untouchable and yes we are in a much better position then last year. The point I'm trying to make is that I think the leafs will have to upgrade through the middle if they won't get a #1 dman. The price is just to high this year, and if we could have a serious 1 and 2 up the middle we would be a great team not just good. Imagine if marner had a better Centermen to play with. The reason I'm not including kadri is because I like the 3rd/ shutdown line of marleau kadri and Leo and as much as I'd love to see kadri put up 30+ with marner on his wing, marner just can't play that tough in your face game that the third line plays. So I'll propose this question:

Who would be the best fit between marner and jvr, If there is a "possible" upgrade at center. And how much would we be willing to give up without ruining plans for the future?

Kadri is a true #2. I know it's early but he's on pace for 32 again, and looks great to me. It's going to be replacing the third line. Personally I think Marner should play C.
