I have no basis on these trades other than what I think should happen.
I also believe it would make a very fun draft day. I will explain the bigger trades, some just don't really need explaining.
Trade 1
Edmonton receives
3rd overall pick (Hanifin)
29th/30th pick (Chicago)
63rd overall pick (Arizona)
Arizona receives
Leon Draisaitl
16th overall pick (Pittsburgh)
Edmonton gets a D-man to grow with Mcdavid
Arizona gets A possible franchise Center a year further in his development (good for a quicker rebuild) and moves up several spots in a deep draft
Trade 2
Edmonton receives
Robin Lehner
Ottawa receives
33rd overall pick
Trade 3
Toronto receives
Jonathon Huderdeau
Dave Bolland
11th overall pick (Florida)
Florida receives
Phil Kessel

Pretty decent trades
Hell no to the first one. It is just ridiculous!
must be a leafs fan cause the leafs aint getting close to that for kessel or dion.
Please the Kings-Sabres trade!
how does taking Stephen Weiss make Phaneufs contract better? His contract is what it is
phaneuf shoots left
who cares he got all of you talking about it and for your info chris not all leaf fans think there guys are worth a hell of alot but that could be said about the Flame fans
devils would never do that trade
