So I don't want the comment on if it's likely or not, I want to know would you do it and would cbj do it.

Tor: Matthews

Cbj: fantilli, jirchek, severson, laine, texier

I don't think so. I don't really want Severson at that cap hit (although I like him), Laine can just stay where he is, and although I like Texier, he isn't a needle mover.

This would be really close for me though. Especially with Marner and JT about to be up. You could almost entirely rebuild the team.

Though I really wouldn’t want Laine on my team at all and do not feel comfortable with Severson, I do understand the need for salary matching.

Close but probably not.

This is a tough one. I am high on Fantilli, but I don't want Laine and Fantilli will never score like Matthews. Tough one for both teams as well. It's a good prop, but Toronto would be picking up two guys that have been in the player assistance program. If Laine is set to be moved to a different team, I might do it. As is, pass.

I had debated switching laine for gaudreau, seemed a touch heavy from CBJ.

@Randy Johnny hockey is a hrd no from me. Overpaid by a large margin at his age.

The leafs would turn into a version of what the blue jackets are higher end wingers and no top centre.

Hard pass from Leafs. And Matthews would never waive to play in Columbus.
