Well with Knies name being tossed about continuously here is one that could be a interesting one to ponder.

Dallas gets: Knies
Carlo
1st in 2027 (Colorado's)

Toronto gets: Harley
Bourque

Dallas gets a winger to compliment either Robertson's opposite wing or Rantanen's wing and a serviceable d-man on a very deep defense roster.

Toronto gets a elite left handed d-man to put with Raddysh which will help on the power play but also help cover up Raddysh defence shortfalls. Plus we get Bourque who we could slot in at Centre or Wing.

We then draft Stenberg (I know. I know everyone here loves McKenna) because he also can be slotted in on the wing or as he proved at the Worlds he has the makeup to play Centre and many people think he may end up as a centreman.

Depending on Bourque's RFA contract we end up having to pay out maybe $5 million more on the swap. But we end up with a versatile Centre and our Defense has now completely reshaped. Yes Carlo was a right hand d-man but that opens a spot for Danford. Then we address the elephant in the room that needs to get moved. Reilly. We trade him for as high a draft pick as we can get, we get out of that contract. $5 of his 7.5 millions covers the shortfall in this trade and the other $2.5 we sign A. J Greer.

I love that the Knies’ trades aren’t even getting responses anymore. Maybe people are realizing how dumb it would be. But out of all the Knies trades this one would be the best but Dallas isn’t giving up Harley either. Just getting away from reality here.

I don't think Dallas does it either.
Clarky, On my prop, you said if trading Knies you definitely want an overpay and a legit power forward coming back. No power forward coming to the Leafs, so how does this become your favourite?

Bourque may not be 6’4” 220 but he is physical and battles. I’d rather a bigger power forward for sure and attached with Harley but like I said, still wouldn’t do it.
