Let's say the order of the draft goes in the same order as the odds.
1- buffalo
2- Edmonton
3- Arizona
4- Carolina
5- Toronto

Would the leafs have a shot at getting buffalos pick?
Buffalo - Toronto 5th overall and William nylander
Toronto - buffalo 1st overall

Would it happen?

1.) 20 Feb 2015
I think they would have to add.

I think it would be unlikely that Buffalo trades the first overall pick given the McDavid / Elchel seem to be the type of players that have elite level potential and that you can build a team around. Toronto would have to add more to convince buffalo to move that pick and right now the best move for toronto to make is to try and accumulate prospects and picks instead of trading them because they don't have enough to work with right now.

2 of the following - Bernier, JVR, Rielly

+

Nylander and the 1st

Im a leaf fan and everyone on here will say toronto would have to give up half there team and buffalo would till not do it , that's because most people on here don't know much about hockey and trades flame on

If that were to happen it would have to be along the lines of
buf: 1st overal
tor: kessel, 1st 2015, 1st 2015(nash)

So Dawson would you trade the first overall for Reinhart and Buffalos first if Leafs pick first overall and Buffalo picks 5th overall?

NO.

@apc Toronto needs to add more then Kessel and the two firsts, add Kadri, Bozak, Finn, Percy and Nylander and then it might go through.

benn14, tbh I've never thought about it that way. and that helps me understand the way u guys think. because that proposal is definitely not enough (reinhart isn't as good as nylander potential wise but anyway) if you were a leafs fan, think about what ud want the other team to give up for him

BigZ - not be negative but Reinhart is a higher rated prospect than Nylander. Not to mention size. Check out Hockeyfuture if you want some independant info.

yeah I know, but I read up on all of this stuff, and I've heard a lot about the stunted growth of reinhart, but yes he is higher rated my bad

All of this bickering over a pretend trade? It is highly unlikely that Murray would trade the 1st over all (if the Sabres were fortunate to win the lottery). But it was to be traded, think of the Lindros trade, essentially 6 players that were picked 30th or sooner. You may get Murray's attention with TML 1st three picks from this years draft, Morgan Rielly and William Nylander, but IMO Tim would still say no.
