how bout this

CAR: 1st holl andersen

TOR: slavin 6th

TOR:ekholm

NAS:kapanen 3rd

i thick it helps all teams
CAR gets a decent goalie and a 1st

TOR gets two defensemen which they really need

NAS gets a decent forward and a 3rd plus kapanen

it could even be better for the players, both kapanen and ekholm are both overshadowed by other players on their teams so with the switch the both get more attention and ice time and after andersen's ups and downs in TOR maybe its time for a fresh start
WIN-WIN for everyone

Carolina won’t give you Slavin for that. You will have to start with Marner.

If you want a D call Carolina. every summer they deal one. every summer they sign one. every trade deadline they deal for one. its the carolina way and it seems to work.
Slavin, skjei, gardiner, fluery, hamilton and pesce. not a bad 6 for next year. With the very good bean mckeown pairing ready to make the nhl jump carolina is due to deal yet another D. Who will it be. they all have term and good contracts.

You went with Slavin. Excellent choice. Problem is much like rielly, slavin can't plsy the right side. some can play both he can not. However, like rielly he plays the left side amazing. With muzzin and rielly do the leafs need him? Heck yeah.60 minutes of guarenteeing a great dman. don't care who they partner with that's 60 minutes.

Now the return. andersen yes carolina could use but with their D and their team D a great goalie isn't needed. andersen is an upgrade though . Holl is a RD getting dealt for a LD and carolina has plenty of LD and short on RD so that's a plus. That 1st will suck not having in 2021 but Slavin is well worth it.

I still think something is missing. (Bracco lol) . the deal presented Carolina may decline but you never know. marner is too far the one way but andersen 1st and holl may not be enough the other way. good start though just needs to be tweeked.

Suggestion
Kapanen Holl Andersen 1st
For
Slavin and reimer.

Nashville is a Dman factory.

Reason why is because they hold on to the good ones to help develop the young ones then move on from the young one for a new young one.

Josi and ellis are the 1st pairing and no matter who the young one is ekholm is the left side D partner of the young one. Right now Fabbro is the young jeti. much like hughes and makar, fabbro is an offendive gem. Also much like makar and hughes he is very raw in the defensive end. He too like the others needs a defendive dman to partner with to backup his gambling mistakes. those gambles payoff more when you know you have a partner backing you. vancouver and colorado figured this out quickly and have made makar and hughes do their thing without worry. now nashville will do the same as ekholm is the man who has the young guns back so nashville says no.

Slavin and Ekholm are both LHD. Both are excellent LHD. But LHD nonetheless. Would I love to have them both on the team. Of course. But kind of redundant with so many LHD.

Also, you traded Andersen and didn't bring in a replacement. So you have to factor in the cost of signing a goalie. Can we afford to do that after these trades? Off the top of my head, I don't think so.
