Leafs, Oilers and Capitals

[Toronto Maple Leafs]

Big trade. This has only taken about a month back and forth to figure out.

My apologies to both Oilers and Caps for my hesitation to pull the trigger but I am glad we finally found common ground.

It makes sense from the standpoint of Washington and Edmonton. I think the pieces going away vs. getting back is fair.

Toronto is getting double fisted, without lube, and I think he knows it too.

Buffalo and Washington's 1st rounders are more than likely going to be late, somewhere between 15-20. So thats essentially anyone from Alex Khavanov to Patrik Stefan.

Washington's 1st rounder, probably in that same range. He wouldn't make these moves for just one year of playoff push.

The Edmonton 2001 1st is a complete mystery. Who knows what they'll do in two years.

But yeah, that's my stance. Edmonton and Washington, fair. Toronto, brutally fucked and left to wonder if they'll come back.

I’m also taking the gamble that Washington is in the most difficult division. There is a possibility i lose the trade break even or win it with caps and oilers firsts and given that i am rebuilding with my own picks i think this will allow me to do it over a few seasons rather than 5 or 6.

FWIW, Washington's 1st was 3rd overall in the last draft, and he was 2nd last in the league by a long shot.

FWIW, Washington's 1st was 3rd overall in the last draft, and he was 2nd last in the league by a long shot.

But the team hes getting now is far from the team that finished with 39 points.
He's a better team, on paper, than the Rangers (especially if the fire sale comes to action soon). They will have to compete with New Jersey, Pittsburgh and Philly, but I'd say right now with this trade, they are better than 2 of those teams.

Plus, if Hartford and Montreal are similar to their previous season, that means Washington right now, once this trade processes, is pretty much a lock for a playoff spot, regardless of division. 5 came out of the Patrick, and we'll probably see that again.

[Winnipeg Jets]

I think the deal is fine for Toronto, the players he gives up (87, 85, 83, 82) can be drafted (5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 2nd round) in most drafts (with the rest of the players being toss ins and at best very low 2nd rounders).

Washington was 3rd overall this draft and while this deal makes them better there is a chance they miss the playoffs, but even if you want to ignore that (and you shouldn't completely) it is very possible that Washington's pick will finish in the top 10 (hell mine was 8th overall 2 seasons ago and I had a better team on paper).

I would say there is a very real chance Leafs gets two 87s for Washington's picks and with Edmonton having 6 guys 84 or more overall retiring by 2001 his pick could be up there to.

There is a big risk factor here but the odds of the picks being ALL 83 overall is far more unlikely than one of them being 90+ IMO.
