The Marleau signing seems to be the end of JVR with the Leafs

To ANA: JVR (50% retained)
To TOR: Jones, 2018 1st and Nattinen

JVRs value is probably at a good prospect and a first. It will be a late first therefore the Ducks add Nattinen to the deal so the Leafs retain salary, which gives Anaheim a little more wiggle room to go all in.

Leafs then do this deal:

To TOR: Tanev
To Van: 2018 Ana 1st rounder and SJs 2nd rounder

I like it for the Leafs basically JVR for Tanev. IMO Anaheim takes it but I'm not sure about Vancouver.

I think it works for everyone. Ducks potentially get the final piece they need for a cup run. Leafs get Jones who can over ripen until Marleau is done, Nattinen could become a 4th line centre down the road, and Tanev could be paired with Rielly. Vancouver gets more picks for a rebuild (are they rebuilding?! I have no idea with the signings they made. Crap or get off the pot already) .

I don't know what their asking price is for Tanev but Hamonic set the market value and he is a better player than Tanev with a cheaper contact so I think a 1st and a 2nd should be close to the right value.

DL7 I honestly would hesitate to say Hamonic is the better player I'd rather have Tanev on my team then Hamonic.

Not sure if DL7 has heard of sheltering the youth with stop gap players so they can ripen a little.

Can't see JVR worth that kind of return but the retention helps make it a reasonable deal.
Tanev would be a hard player to replace for Canucks but that is close.

If JVR gets traded it most definitely will be for help on the backend.
