So trade one of the league's perennial top ten scorers for a potential first line centre, potential second line centre and two spare parts that could end up never even playing a game in the NHL?

Wow. Just wow.

That trade is kind of like Chemotherapy. You need to take in a bit of pain to get rid of cancer.

Yeah I agree, that'd be a brutal trade for the leafs.

Kessel is worth a hell of a lot more than that imo. If he can't get us a kings ransom I'd rather just keep him.

are you actually suggesting that deal favours arizona?

its hilarious how that always works out ...

"we always had Bob ranked higher than Dave"... "we're very happy that he fell to us in this position"...

like... what else could they say?
- BorjeFan4Ever

Anyone who had Bob ranked higher than Dave is an idiot.

i guess you'll be stuck with him then.

If there was a front view of this chick firing the gun I bet there would be different opinions.

But we can all agree Flyfreaky's cleavage takes the cake, hands down.

The opposite. It's all a bunch of potential pieces. I wouldn't trade kessel away for that junk. Especially when I'm assured one of hannifn marner or strome.

To be honest, I don't give zona any assets for their pick.

Who do you think is the better pick Strome, Marner or Haniffin?

If Leafs want number 3? they have to switch picks and throw in Their second rounder too.

Icegirls introduced with that uni, Avs make the playoffs, changed it for this season, no playoffs. I think we know what needs to happen next season

probably not. but okay. i guess there aren't a lot of teams that need 30-40 goal scorers...

we don't have one this year.

but no thanks either way. if zona picks strome i'd still be more than happy with hannifin or marner.

if we are talking to Arizona I want 3rd overall (Strome) and Max Domi, whats the price tag on that Arizona?

I agree. It will be too much. Not worth it. I like Strome, Hanifin, and Marner. I don't think there's enough of a difference in their potential to trade up.

I fully expect the Leafs to try to trade up.

Curious what you're saying wow too? Do you think the difference between Strome and Marner is so big that it makes up for the lopsided Domi and a second for Kessel?
- HealthyScratch6

I'm saying wow, because why would Arizona trade away one of the best drafted prospects not currently in the NHL for Kessel, not to mention moving down a spot in the draft and moving a 2nd or 3rd in a deep draft.

I understand Toronto would like to get younger, but all of a sudden Arizona should want to give up a pivotal piece in their rebuild, and get older and fatter?

Same as the price tag on a young, pure-bread unicorn that knows calculus.

leafs should draft Hanifin and flip him to Philly for Couterier, B.Schenn and Simmonds

We do want to tank, might as well keep the leagues biggest floater.

1 year.

i guess by that logic pacioretty is a 15 goal scorer...

TBH IMO, not worth Flyers moving up IMHO.
