Schaefer $.866K

Nash gets a top line winger in his prime. Enough said.

I know I will get that if it's a retool, need same kind of production in return for Willy. Not sure why a team would trade a guy who produces just as much. Or a top pair D etc. Yes, that all works if possible. The other is to get good, young talented NHL ready players and create cap space. The Leafs increase assets as for possible future deals or new team build.

Not sure Nashville has any interest in Willy.
That are a strange organization.
They seem to be unsure if they want to sign expensive free agents or want to rebuild with young talent…

Not enough from Nashville. Don’t believe there’s any interest from either team in doing this trade.

I would hate to see Willy go but I like the potential and size of both Wood and Schaefer and with both being RFAs the year after next they will be hungry to have big seasons. They would add much needed size to the forward lines. I would look at swapping out Molendyk for Hague though. Nashville would like to shed a bit of salary to take on Willy's contract. Hague is tradeable anywhere up until the end of next season then has a limited no trade that starts.

He is very affordable at $5.5 and he is a big nasty defenceman that would make teams think twice about heading to the front of the leafs net. He has one intangible you can't teach 6'-6" and 240lbs lol lol. With a guy like him that makes Carlo expendable in a trade. Then we need to find a landing spot for Reilly to create room for either Danford or Chadwick, whichever one is most NHL ready to begin their apprecticeship.
