If only this would happen.

Your trade with Kadri is ludicrous. Kadri alone is worth 2 prospects like that or no deal. Kadri is a C on an amazing deal with back to back 30 goal seasons.

The Brown/ Nielsen/ 2nd thing is basically a meme at this point. There's an article from back in. June, I want to say? From MapleLeafsNation. com that reads "17 trades the Leafs should make" or along those lines, look it up. Pretty chuckle-worthy.

@Torontobuds

Kadri alone is not worth Heiskenan. Heiskenan is the highest rated defensive prospect in the world not named Dahlin. Kadri is a 28 year old 2nd-3rd line center. Kadri’s contract is cheap, but Heiskenan will be on ELC for the same length as Kadri’s contract runs for and heiskenan can be controlled for the next decade, while Kadri is UFA in three years.

There is no way Dallas trades future Norris candidate Heiskenan unless the offer is tilted in their favor. I doubt they would even consider this proposal, especially since I stuck Gurianov in there as well.

It’s fun to dream about what could be though. If only it was that easy.

Brown (a 3rd line player), Nielsen (an AHLer who will likely never make the NHL) and a 2nd for Lindholm a #1 defenseman (top 5 in the Western Conference)?
Any GM who makes that trade would lose his job.
This site is all in fun but it should at least make sense!

Heiskenan looks good but he's still an unproven player though. That's taking a huge risk giving all that up for a player u have no idea will live up to the hype in the best league in the world. I'm not saying he won't be I'm just saying.
You can't denie Kadri is a good 1st line and REALLY good 2nd line C. That alone isn't cheap and then u add a future top 4 d man and a 1st.

@hughallen

The Lindholm trade wasn’t mine. Mackin brought it to my attention first, and subsequently I read about it on other sites. As I indicated in my response to David, I agree the offer isn’t enough, but as this rumor seemed to have some legs to it, I simply incorporated it into this post.

@Puckit

The way I value this trade is Heiskenan >>> Dermott + 1st, so we add Kadri and ask for Gurianov back in order to balance the trade out a little.

Heiskenan is set to make his NHL debut this year. All indications point to him stepping into the league right away and becoming a dominant defenseman. It will be fun to watch bot Heiskenan and Dahlin this year and see who exactly is the better player. Not since Crosby/ Ovechkin came into the league together has two players been compared like this.
