Blues Trade
Barbashev

Leafs Trade
Leivo

4th Line Depth Trade, Barbashev gives the Leafs more depth at 4th Line Center to share with Lindholm, Leivo should crack the Lineup with the Blues being a little weaker on RWing.
I expect to have backlash that Barbashev is the next Datsyuk and the Blues would never do this trade, let the attacks begin. LoL

Thoughts ?

Don’t think blues do this Barbashev has more upside but lievo is more of a sure thing.

Yeah no blues wouldn't trade a younger center for an older lw. Blues have way to many left wingers as it is that are better JL wouldn't make team.

Blues definitely would say no.
Barbashevs ceiling/ potential is also higher than Leivo at this time. No hate on Leivo.

Barbashev's ceiling is higher?
Maybe if I add a 1st Round Pick it will be good enough. Lol.

I'm just going with logic here

1) why would leafs want a small young center that's game is based around a more skill game as a 4th line center. IMO those should be your shut-down or big bruising centers

2) why would the blues trade a young skilled center that has more NHL games for a still young but older winger.

3) no disrespect but I don't see Levio as being anything better then a 3rd line winger. and even that is a stretch, while barbashev can still have a shot at developing into a 2nd line center.
