Dion is not worth the #5 pick. The Leafs rumours have them in on everything so take what Dregger said with a grain of salt. I doubt Phaneuf get's traded, especially to Carolina who has cap issues.

The Leafs may trade up to #9 or #10 but I don't see them finding a right fit with any team before that.

Also, it will cost you a prospect like Biggs, Reiley, or Gardiner. Dion is not a guy who is going to be highly coveted around the league. I don't know anyone who thinks Dion at $6.5 is a great deal.

So if not Dion then what would it take to get the fifth pick?

Franson 21st and Ashton?

Holzer was a shutdown beast for the Marlies. I feel confident enough to say that as soon as he adjusts to the NHL speed, he'll be a solid 5-6 guy

Mrs. Holzer?

The AHL game is so much slower though, and Holzer really doesn't have the speed of feet (or thought) to keep up with the NHL IMO

let the oilers have him

Agreed or more then 1 top 6 winger.

I wonder if they would entertain trading for 5, and then trading down and picking someone like Bo Horvat?

That's terrible right there. Bad bad committee.

I think they should trade for 5, then trade up again for 1, then get greedy and trade for all of Calgary's picks then, trade back for 21st and pick Bo Horvat

Yes it doesn't

I totally agree. His stint last season wasn't as bad as people say. His 1st 5 games he did very good and the next 8 he struggled. You can't write off a defenseman after only 15 games, especially when he was thrown into a role he wasn't prepared for.

I'd be surprised if Bo was still there at 21 though

Car. couldnt take Dion without moving a contract back they already have several large ones
