The most realistic trade I see happening with Arizona if Toronto does indeed win the lottery.

1st OA
To the Yotes for
Strome and Arizonas 1st (5OA-7OA, likely)

Toronto still gets a fairly high pick, to select Dubois, Tkachuk, Nylander or Joulevi. While also getting a big centremen with elite potential.
Arizona receives their prized hometown possession.

If Toronto gets the 1st pick, they will not trade it unless the return in McDavid. So, no thank you!

I like it. I think you're pretty close. Sounds like a shrewd Lou move for sure. I like it

I think Lou tries to get either there other 1st Rd pick, a 2017 1st Rd pick or a prospect like McInnis as well

I would do that IF Hunter is OK with it and IF they also gave up a second round pick.

I've been thinking about this package of players too if Toronto does win the 1st.

Strome would have to be in the deal.

ARI pick at 7th overall, would give us a shot at Juolevi, Nylander or Chychrun. I think the Leafs Brass would only do this deal if we got one of Juolevi or Chychrun. However, Nylander would be a great addition.

We'd be in a position of strength and could get a little more. ARI really wants Matthews. Plus it's the 1st overall pick, you're going to have to overpay to get it. ARI can afford to overpay.

to Arizona:

Auston Matthews
pick (2017) or decent winger prospect

to Toronto:

Dylan Strome
7th - Olli Juolevi
22nd

Leafs wouldn't include any other picks in this draft. There are really good players available at 22nd this year. That can be said at the 27th and 31st spots as well.
