A trade to improve the Leafs and Oilers

EDM: Cody Franson, James Reimer, Matt Frattin, 4th Rounder
TOR: David Perron, Jeff Petry, Future Considerations

Franson=Perron
Reimer, 4th=Petry
Frattin=Future Considerations

Fills needs for both teams.

Oilers acquire one of the best UFA defenders for this upcoming year, under-rated point producing defender. Among the best in the league actually when you look at the stats. Oilers acquire Reimer who would improve the goaltending and provide more experience to the club. The Oilers also acquire Matt Frattin to fill out their Bottom six forward group. Eakins is very familiar with Frattin. Now the Leafs fill out their Top Six forward with acquiring Perron who has put up respectable numbers, and could very well put up good numbers with Kadri and Lupul. The Leafs also acquire Petry, a smooth skating defender, with a little more of a defensive minded style, to help balance out the back-end.

Leafs sign Vokoun
Oilers sign Loktionov

Oilers send Draisaitl to Prince Albert. There is no point in keeping Draisaitl up and ruin his confidence with a losing mindset.

Thoughts or suggestions?

At this point Edmonton would be better off moving Petry and Perron in different trades and brining in picks/prospects v. trading for two UFAs.


2.) 05 Dec 2014
Also Petry is not a top pairing d-man.


3.) 05 Dec 2014
Well who on the leafs other than Phaneuf is?


4.) 05 Dec 2014
Yes Edmonton would like picks and prospects, but I think they would really like Franson, and Reimer is still young.

So getting proven players versuses prospects that may never make it may be worth it for Edmonton. Because they won't be around anyway.

MacT is trying to trade Perron for a proven player anyways.

I think that is a very believable trade, but I think fasth would have to go back to the Leafs because Edmonton has no use for him after getting reimer.

^ RE top d-man: Franson at this point is a better option than anyone on the Leafs or Petry.

RE your second comment: I get the logic, but Franson and Reimer are UFAs. So you get proven players for 4 months. You obviously can't assume anything with prosects or picks, but at this point those assets would at least have upside.

At this point, there is almost no way that Edmonton is turning this season around. And why would they want to? it should be McDavid sweepstakes. Trying to improve their team seems

Draisaitl has played 26 games and is no longer eligible to be sent back to Prince Albert.
