Some good feedback on my proposal so I'll repost with those suggestions included.

Leafs: Brown, Zaitsev, Rasanen, Timashov, 2019 1st.

Blues: Parayko

Minimal disruption to the leafs roster and upsetting team chemistry. Parayko brings size, attitude and grit and his contract matches up nicely with Rielly; together for the next 5 years. Hopefully Liljegren and Sandin are ready to be a top pairing by then.

Rielly - Parayko
Gardiner - Hainsey
Dermott - Ozzy
Marincin, Holl

I would think Dubas would prefer keeping his 1st and giving two 2nds instead. I like it tho. Rasanen is going to be a solid 3rd pairing guy I love him but to get Parayko sure why not.

Hey BigWilly, Dubas has a history of downgrading his picks for extra later round picks. What do you think we see the same againthis year? I mean, Leafs 1st round pick is going to be ~30th. Maybe Dubas trades it to a team with extra second round picks? My understanding is that this year’s draft is deep, with lots of real good talent available even into the later rounds. So let’s say Dubas trades our 1st (30th) for two seconds (40th and 50th), maybe that actually improves our odds of getting windfall gains by obtaining a player that far exceeds expectations? What’s your take on that thought?

@spider

You’ve definitely targeted the right team and the right player. You are offering all the right guys from Leafs standpoint, these are the guys to be trading. Is this enough for St. Louis? I can’t answer that. But I do notice that what is lacking here is a premium prospect with star qualities coming back in return.

You got the right idea for sure. If blues are trading top players they will have top prospects or high picks in their sights. Not direct replacements for this year. And this package you are offering is pretty reasonable package of futures to get them started on a rebuild.

No chance of this even being considered in reality.

You would need to offer at least some quality and not a bunch of stuff you no longer want.

It would need to be more along the lines of Nylander and Liljegren or your first for Parayko.
