Reimer kadri for Kane and a mid pick is as high as I would go.

Comical analogy aside, is it not obvious they aren't done? They sucked a big one last year, and haven't really done anything to get better. I don't even like the Leafs, but I hope for their fans' sake they still have some moves to make.

All that's left is potentially moving Reimer and/or Franson. And firing Carlyle.

It's pretty clear that this is a treading water year for the leafs. They signed a bunch of one-year contracts and have real flex next year when the cap is going to go up significantly. This will be about seeing how Rielly improves, what kind of progress Gardiner, Kadri make and whether guys like Granberg make the team and progress.

Exactly. JVR is not going the other way in a jets trade.

There is not going to be a Jets/Leafs trade for E. Kane

The Leafs? Yes, in a heartbeat.
- djamon

Sure! I mean, these teams aren't looking to move this many players to get or pass off Kane. Kane is Winnipeg's problem.

I think it's more that the leafs are higher up with holland than kadri. I think they want holland in that future number 2 spot

When put that way, it sounds reasonable and I do think that would be the asking price.

You can make an arguement that Kadri and Kane are comparable. Their NHL PPG numbers are about 2 points difference over an 82 game season. While Kane has a physical edge, it is generally more difficult to find centers. They both have had attitude issues, but Kane's seem quite a bit worse.

Would I trade Kane for Kadri if I was Winnipeg? No.

The fact that there is even a discussion to be had comparing the two means that throwing in Gardiner (arguably the Leafs best D last year) and a 1st, which could easily be a lottery pick in the McDavid draft, is probably quite an overpayment.

Also, when big names move, it seems like the return is never as good as what you would expect.

I was laughing at his metaphor. Defensive much?

I disagree with your opinion, but I suppose we won't know who's right until next season.

It's an overpayment. The Jets would take that offer and run. They're not gonna get any better the longer this poop-show goes on.

Seriously? You really think the Leafs are going to pull off a deal with WPG for Kane? With what? The Jets will only pull the trigger on an over-payment and by doing so it is a lateral move if you have to deal guys like JVR, Gardiner/Rielly or Kadri - especially when you consider the glut of players the Leafs have on the wing this makes even less sense as a rumour...my source is called common sense. It is a very powerful tool.
