Apparently the Leafs still want to add a centre. Let's assume Utah continues to fade with all their injuries. Might as well go for more than just one guy.

Utah
Kampf $2.4M
Robertson $.875M
Cowan ELC
2026 1st

Tor
Bjustad $1.05M (50% retained)
McBain $1.6M

Cowan plus a 1st round pick for 3rd and 4th line centers seems somewhat excessive to me.
I like the players but would not want to sacrifice that much of the future.
Especially considering Bujgstad is already 32 and will turn 33 this summer.

Could do it without Cowen. Bjugstad wouldn't be very costly.

Too much I think… also I think given his cost control and age I’m starting to think it may be next to impossible to get mcbain just wouldn’t make much sense for Utah.

I don't disagree that it is too much. In all fairness, I have put out many trades for McBain that would be equal to Kampf, Robertson and a 1st for McBain and you guys say it isn't enough. So, basically I add Cowan to make up the difference in value needed to get McBain and get Bjugstad at 50% retained and now it's way too much. lol

I have said many times, that as much as I like McBain and have wanted him for years, I don't think he is untouchable or that Utah won't move him. Probably need to overpay, but it's possible. I wouldn't want the Leafs to move McMann, but if a deal came along that would be stupid not to take, Leafs should take it.

Solid trade imo. They love McBain and won't let him go cheap.

What does a young-ish, middle 6 centre of McBain's quality go for? Probably a 1st plus.

How about switching Cowan out for Minten?
Utah is giving up a center and a C/ LW so Minten replaces some of the loss.

I like the thought of McBain and next year, Grebenkin on the same line.
