Firstly, while I like JVR, I feel like we could move him to greater effect. In the next few years, we have Nylander, Marner, Kapanen, Dnytro Mysterious (Timashov), and one of (most likely) Matthews/ Pulijarvi/ Lainey coming up and looking at our prospect pool we could use some help on Defence. I think we should use JVR to get that help, either this year or next, as his contact is great at the moment.

No particular target, but maybe starting with this as an idea.

Win - JVR, 2nd
Tor - Trouba, 1st

Someone else on here had JVR for Trouba and 2nd, but I think there is a bit more value we could get. Again, could be altered or a different Dean elsewhere, but a big shut down right handed D would be a great add.

Move out the RFAs.

Nsh - Parenteau
Tor - 2nd, 4th

Resign him in the off season (he's reportedly up for it) . No more than 2 years. I would be up for 1 year and repeat a trade deadline move.

Sjs - Polak
Tor - 2nd

Shsrks are reportedly looking hard at Polak. If we can get anything extra, such as a 4th, all the better.

Chi - Boyes
Toronto - 4th

Hossa going down means Chicago can use some depth. Boyes world be a cheap addition.

Grabner would be a better for I think but cap hit is too much. He gets us a 4th elsewhere.

Mathias ends up getting a 5th or 6th.

We keep Komorov because he leafs by example, and we're better with him then what he gets us (unless it's stupid good, like a 1st and an A prospect)

I think moving Bozak is wise as well. Kadri will be 1C next year and probably year after until Matthews (hopefully) or Nylander takes it from him. He's also Babcock's player, and is becoming a much better player.

That JVR trade would solidify the Leafs back end for a decade. Hope it happens but doubtful.

not doubtful at all, winnipeg can't afford him going forward unless they move myers this would be amazing for the leafs!
