To get Binner for Woll, Toronto would also have to give up Nick Robertson or Calle Jarnkrok to make the money work out...more if Army retains.

To get Schenner, a package of a first-round pick (would have to be 2028 as they don't have any until then), a top prospect like Easton Cowan, Fraser Minten (who now plays for Boston...lol Ek!) or Ben Danford… with the Leafs possibly needing to throw in an additional sweetener or have another team eat salary.

So it would look something like this:

TOR gets:
Binner
Schenn

STL gets:
Woll
Robertson
Cowan
2028 1st

I'm not so sure the Leafs can afford to further gut their picks or prospects like that.
Hate to see Schenn or Binnington go, but that would a great trade for Blues.

Toronto may see this is not their year and do little to nothing. Not being critical of your thought process, just seems like a lot to give up on their part for a team that isn’t showing a lot yet this year. Will be curious if they start to turn it around like FLA has recently.

Management like Woll. And they have too much money invested in stolarz who hasn't been on the ice with his mysterious upper body ("definitely not a concussion"). They need a top 6 forward and a dman. Think schenn for macelli + as the deal treviling wants to make with armey.

No thanks. Macelli has been healthy scratched by Berube quite a bit. Hard pass.

The only folks who really know about a players value are the ones moving the players, and they get it wrong sometimes too. The new kids are helping the team out right now. I'd ride with things the way they are for now. We may not have to do much of anything. JMO

Binner trade talk....just remarkable how so many can get this so wrong for so long.

I mean at some point it is possible one of ya'll will be right....just like the blind hog finding a road apple.

I don't necessarily disagree but Treviling needs to engage ina lot of turd polishing given bare cupboards in prospects and draft picks. And it seems like he is going to be using most of whatever capital he jas to try and snag andersson.

Make it a blockbuster then. Give them Schenn, Holloway, Jecho and a 1st for Knies and a cap dump of their choosing. ::crazya:: :lol:

Thomas and Kryou for Matthews and one or two of their lesser contracts if Toronto needs cap relief.
They get to play for their hometown team and have great familiarity with the Coach.
Sends message to the rest of the Toronto players. Tell Mathews if he'll waive we can amend his contract for a cash bonus payment.
We can waive, or send the throw-ins down to Springfield.
Can't hurt to ask.

Edmonton has nothing the Blues want. A couple underachieving prospects in Howard and Savoie is it. No thanks. Even if Binner wanted to go there, I don't see how it happens.

If I'm Toronto, I laugh that trade out of the room. Woll, Cowan, and a 1st could get a solid haul. It could certainly get better than Schenn and Binner who are both at career lows in trade value.

You make a very good point, that would be a waste. But I was thinking about playing with Snuggerud, eventually Carbonneau (possibly even at the end of this season?), or Neighbours whom has a build and style of play somewhat similar to Knies, and possibly any of the other prospects whom I am not as familiar with but read positive things on this forum.
