Toronto - Vancouver

[leafsgm]

To Toronto:
Brandon Kozun (71)
Joffrey Lupul (74)
Jeremy Lauzon (91)
Jake Gardiner (71)
Jonathan Bernier (75)

To Vancouver:
Vancouver 1st 2017
Montreal 1st 2018
Calgary 2nd 2017
Detroit 2nd 2018
Ryan Miller (72)

This deal has been in the works for at least a week.  Easy to move everyone but Lauzon.  He will be a solid player and is the center of the deal.  The others, meh, not a big loss, can be replaced.  Gardiner is good, but on this developing team is only taking playing time away from others.  Bernier is a good goalie, but I want Tretiak to play more this year, and he and Miller and rotate sims.  In return I get picks, at which I think I am pretty decent at using.

Thanks for the deal Kehler, good luck, keep that pick low!  Always hesitant to trade with guys who are moving their picks, makes me think he has other things up his sleeve to ruin that pick, haha!

Very risky move for both clubs but think it will pay off in the end , Lauzon is a solid piece I ve been looking to add for awhile to my blue line , I'm hoping to develope kozun into a solid centre , Gardner will a nice addition to the top six and the rest we will see where they fit in
