Toronto Maple Leafs -

Goal: Become a regular playoff team (and a contender) within the next 4 years

Realistically the entire team is on the trade block EXCEPT:

F William Nylander
D Morgan Reilly
D Jake Gardiner
(IMO) F Connor Brown - He has good chemistry with McDavid if they win the lottery

Before Deadline:
To STL:
F Joffrey Lupul

To TML:
F Dmitri Jaskin
Conditional 2nd 2016 if he plays more than 70 games (including playoffs) before the 2016 draft.
---
To NYR:
F Tyler Bozak
5th 2015

To TML:
F Anthony Duclair
2nd 2015
---


Offseason:
To CAR:
F Phil Kessel
D Jake Gardiner
F Frederick Gauthier

To TML:
F Eric Staal
D Justin Faulk
3rd 2015
---
To EDM:
D Dion Phaneuf
F Nazem Kadri

To TML:
F Nail Yakupov
D Nikita Nikitin

--------
This gives the leafs 17 picks in the next two drafts. several being in the first 3 rounds

-Leafs hopefully pick up a top 2 pick this season and a top 5 pick next season, helping build their prospect pool with NHL superstars.

-They can flip Eric Staal next season for more picks or keep him long term as a veteran

-Yakupov beside Nylander/McDavid/Eichel and Duclair/Jaskin will be a show to watch

PLEASE SEND FEEDBACK

Interesting how you trade one of your untouchables.
Oh and the first 2 trades easily favor the Leafs

2.) 27 Feb 2015
There's NO WAY that would get you Jaskin, & a second! You could have Berglund for that though .

3.) 27 Feb 2015
No way Bozak gets you Duclair

Also you listed Gardiner as on the No Trade List, then you move him to Carolina?

4.) 27 Feb 2015
Gardiner is not untradeable

5.) 28 Feb 2015
Leafs get a 2nd if Jaskin plays more? Still need to work on these conditional draft picks folks

6.) 28 Feb 2015
Or is "he" Lupul? That's my bad

I highly doubt the Leaf will trade Gardiner, mainly because he hasn't reached his 300 games in the NHL as a defense-man. Everyone knows he hasn't reached his full potential yet and the Leafs aren't going to be good for a while, so why don't we just keep and develop him?
