Flames aquire Andreas Johnsson, Calvin Pickard and a 2019 2nd (TOR)

Leafs aquire Rasmus Andersson and Tyler Parsons.

I would swap out Pickard for Sparks if Calgary preferred.

Flames have made some good moves but still in need of depth scoring and a reliable back up to help the aging Smith.

Leafs get a young up and coming RHD and a goalie where the sky is the limit and whose age puts him near his peak when Andersen's contract is over.

@Matardri

First off I’d rather keep Johnsonn if we are trading him for another prospect and we don’t need parson we already have Joseph Woll and Ian Scott and the leafs have a cluster of goalies.

Leafs don't need up and coming, were needing right here right now.

Highly unoriginal, it’s the same trade you posted last time with a bit of tweaking. This trade makes us weaker on LW and does nothing to increase our chances of winning now or in the future.

I agree with Leafs1994. Andersson would be a nice acquisition for the right price, but right now we need Johnsson more as our LW is weak and Marleau set to leave after this year or next latest. We definitely don’t need Parsons. Would rather keep Sparks over bringing in Parsons. Sparks has more experience and is the better goalie.

It’s not as easy as you think coming up with original suggestions regularly. You just rehashed your last proposal, and made it worse. But don’t let it get to you. The whole fun is researching and analyzing possibilities and reading what others suggest to improve.

I like Andersson, but being as that we are weak on LW and Marleau may not be returning after this season, I would retain Johnsson. I would leave the goalie swap out altogether.

We don’t NEED anything. Our team is elite as it stands. The only position we aren’t well above league average is RHD. We could use a good young RHD who can slot in now, is cheap and has a bright future. Andersson provides that. Someone like Brandon Montour would be perfect as well. Johnsson is our 5/ 6 best winger and is totally expendable. But I do doubt Dubas will trade him after leading his Marlies to the cup.

Parsons age lines up much better with Andersen’s than Sparks. I doubt Sparks will be OK with being a backup or less for 3 more seasons. Parsons will be entering his prime as Andersen leaves his. Reports say Pickard is being shopped. I doubt Mac has another season in him after this. Parsons/ Woll would make an amazing AHL goalie tandem and greatly increases our chance of having an NHL quality goaltender after Andersen. Goaltending is Voodoo, you can never have too many.
