Trade talk.
To tor. Colin wilson, Seth Jones

To preds Phil Kessel.

Now hear me out, Preds need a proven scorer for now and the playoffs. Leafs need all kinda help.

Proven Scorer isn't that what James Neal is 5 goals behind Kessel but 3 mil cheaper and a +15 rating
Kessel 8 Mil -8.

I would love to see Kessel gone and because Poile is the only one who has anything positive to say about Kessel makes him the favourite to be a trade partner for Kessel. But would love to see a young defender come this way like a Seth Jones orRoman Josi and maybe a Center like Wilson or more likely a Craig Smith. Both young and lots of potential

Most will prolly disagress, but no from the Preds.
Why would the change anything right now? They are scroring more than enough right now. When Rinne is healthy, scoring 2 goals is enough in most nights to earn the W. Scoring 3 almost makes it impossible for any opponent to beat the Preds in regulation.
(future) #1 defenseman are worth more than #1 wingers.

I agree with @bizzybee it would probably be closer value with craig smith and seth jones for phil kessel plus maybe a lower prospect nashville likes. If toronto makes a big deal like this with nashville it would be nice if they could snag their 1st rd pick some how. This kind of trade would signal a rebuild so draft picks will be huge for the leafs.

Bozak, kessel

smith, jones, 1st

one can dream.

If I am Toronto I wouldn't ask for less, but why would the Preds do it?

As Drais said, it's working well right now, no need to mess it up.

Wonder if the Preds would do a deal for Lupul?

I could see a deal around Lupul. Gives Nashville secondary scoring. 2nd and conditional 3rd based on how many games Lupul plays?
