To LA: Rasmus Sandin, Pontus Holmberg, 4th

To Tor: Alex Turcotte

This fixes both teams needs IMO. Sandin gets paid and more playing time (as much as I would love to keep him over Muzzin, its not looking likely and Muzzin hopefully can be big in the playoffs) .

Turcotte is behind Byfield and has soured it seems a bit in his development. Plays a strong 200 foot game with scoring developing. Can be 3C and if starts heating up move Tavares to LW and let Turcotte be 2C. And also will be cheap until bigger contracts are up.

@Woods, this is a very significant haul for someone who has played but 8 games and gone scoreless.

He is only 21 and a former 5th overall pick who has put up solid numbers in the A. He should still carry decent value. I would think this would get LA's attention anyway. The issue would be that they still have 2 of their own RFA D's to sign and only $1.5M in cap space left. They would have to be moving out other D to bring in Sandin and pay him.

You're paying a bit more for Turcotte. He still has great upside if he can achieve his potential.

At this point Turcotte probably has close to the same value as abbruzese.

That’s a lot to give up for a player who has shown nothing at the pro level so far. so far.
