I hate trading Knies, but when a #1 defenseman comes up in his prime...you got to go for it.

Vancouver can get twice that for Quinn Hughes from half a dozen teams.
A significant roster player, an “A” prospect and a couple of 1st round picks for the 2nd best defenseman in the world!

@WB the trade proposal isn’t that far off everyone thinks guys like Quinn Hughes with fetch ten first rounders which isn’t realistic I think you add one of Cowan or danford plus the 28 1st but if I’m the leafs I wouldn’t make a trade for Hughes we got Troy stecher we good.

Goat…. if you’re adding Cowan and a first then the proposed trade is very far off!

Debrusk and Domi with Matthews is brutal.

@ckps exactly why I said I wouldn’t make the trade for Hughes.
