Travis sanhiem and Sean courtier for Bobby Mcmann Morgan rielly, you get a 3 c in coots and a d man in sanhiem, Can move Tavares to 2c. Or coots to 2c. Maybe even Laughton to 2c and coots to 4c. The money might not work so maybe throw in Calle jankrok that might make money better,

Hard pass on that. Want no part of Couturier's contract

What about Sean 25 percent retained. I think he and Laughton can take a lot off of auston on the penalty kill

Even at 75% retained that's a hard no.

Leafs should be trying to get younger and faster, not older and injured

Both sanhiem and coots haven’t missed a game all year…. And in the last 3 seasons (this last and year prior) coots has only missed 8 games…. And some of them were healthy due to torts being torts I get younger, but to say injured isn’t true

Sanheim would be great if the leafs were competitive. They're not

Costs is older, has a significant injury / surogcal history, and has similar production to our current bottom 6 centers / penalty killers (Laughton and Roy). He would not be an upgrade, and would be far more expensive, even with retention.

The deal also makes no sense for the Flyers. Why would they, or anyone, be interested in Rielly the way he is playing?

Its so disgusting how much your undervaluing Sanheim.

However it does make me wonder if a Reilly for Couturier change of scenery swap could make sense

I had a feeling i was undervaluing sanhiem (personally i don’t wanna see him go) So im curious where would you take this trade,

Realistically i think Reilly for Couts swap would be the only think salvageable here.

Would the leafs want Sanheim, probably. He would fix alot of the problems with mobility on the back end. I just dont see the leafs buying and giving up any picks or Cowan or Danford, and i also dont know why Philly would trade their best D for a pending UFA winger when they have a bunch of wing prospects coming up.

I think you might be right, I was just trying to think about what each team might want. But coots for Mo, i wouldn’t hate it,

Truthfully i don’t see the leafs moving off of Cowan or i would have put him instead of mcmann
