Let me say that I am indifferent on a JVR trade, but I think it makes sense with the Leafs development of players and at this point I don't feel they'll re-sign him.

To NSH: F - JVR

To TOR: D - D. Fabbro + 2018 1st round pick

Nashville who just went to the cup needs to replace Neal. JVR on a great contract can help them.

For the Leafs, Fabbro is in college and thus no contract yet, also get a 1st so they can walk into the trade deadline next year with 2 1st's and 2 2nd's and be buyers if they are in a playoff position.

That's a fair trade. Well done buds.

With the acquisition of Marleau, this trade is a no brainer. I would've maybe said no before because we're taking out a top 6 LW with no NHL replacements. With Markeau now in the lineup, we can afford to lose JVR and continue adding picks and prospects. I would personally do this deal in a heartbeat.

I second that, this is a no brainer. I don't know if Nashville bites but it should be hard to not tho considering they're bringing in a top 6 LW who can score 30 goals without taking anything from their current line up. Also, with Poile's ability to sign players for cheap somehow (omitting Johansen) they could even resign JVR so this could intrigue them.
JvR doesn't have the same sandpaper to his game as Neal but still would fill a void for them.

Seriously good post there. Interesting to say the least. Added bonus would free up 4.5 million and a contract spot (lets the Leafs finally sign Brown) .

I would do that deal for sure.

It's really the most ideal proposal I've seen on this site yet. I don't know if a 1st is too much or not with a guy the Preds chose in the first round but for a producer like JvR on a contender I think that's a pretty fair price.

Very good deal. The Pred's weakest position is at LW. They have 5M cap space. A good place for JVR to go to and get his contract extended as Hartnell may be done after this year as well.

The hole at LW left by JVR can be filled by numerous prospects, but allows Leivo to get his chance to shine (and not get waivered) .

Rychel could then make the 23 man roster and would then be in line to replace Leo. With Korshkov, Grundstrom and others in waiting.

Fabbro won't be around for 3 years, but adds to the depth of quality RHD's we are starting to build, and they are spread out at different stages of development which is good for long term development and cap management.

Best deal in quite a while. Let's hope the Pred's bite.
