Hey, its approaching January, so time for another epic Toronto - Calgary blockbuster trade.

Maple Leafs get. - defenseman Dougie Hamilton and center/ winger Sam Bennett as well as Flames 1st round pick in 2017

Flames get. - center Nazem Kadri, center/ winger William Nylander, Alberta born defense prospect - Andrew Nielsen and Leafs 2nd rounder ( from Ottawa ) in 2017.

In another possible deal
Toronto trades JVR and emerging offensive prospect Jeremy Bracco to the Islanders for shut down defenseman Travis Hamonic.

no way from the flames giving up way to much Toronto would have to add there 1st in there and probably something else.

Imo Torontos 1st is worth that whole package considering they'll Finnish last in the NHL.

Sorry, Yzerman19, don't see it that way! Hamilton may be better than Kadri but nylander i'd better than Bennett and Nielsen is abit of a wild card here. Since the 2017 draft is considered weak and neither Leafs and Calgary will pick top 8, the picks will not be that much of a factor. Besides, Brian Burke loves Kadri and their is a shadow of doubt surrounding Hamilton. Facror in the salary consideatins and this deal has wings.

You think Patrick Nolan is worth Dougie Hamilton, Bennett and a first round pick? I think I'm done with this website if you're being serious. Idiot.

Flames counter with: Backlund + Bennett + Andersson (Defense Prospect) + 2nd for Reilly + Nylander + 1st

Obviously I'm joking and I hope you are too. Same with VB.

So Bennett would turn into leafs 1C, a young top 4 offensive Dman, a 1st for that? You got to be joking? Terrible for Calgary.

bennett would not be torontos 1c, he couldn't even carry mathews bag from the bus, wake up.

Am I blind or is it a Leafs 2nd pick not 1st? Plus Hamilton > Kadri, Bennet > Nylander, 1st > prospect + 2nd.

@Oil Kings, please tell me you don't think Bennett will be a number 1 center over Matthews, fact is at this point, he is playing more wing than center for Calgary. As for Hamilton, he will be traded this season and it will be his 3rd team in his 4 years in the league! What does that tell you? Truth is Nylander is now and will continue to be a much better player than Bennett while Hamilton will be no more than a number 4 guy on any team he plays for? Last but not least, whether you think so or not, Kadri is a player Calgary covets . The draft picks involved aren't quite as important as you think.

Buddy he would be right next to Reilly if he played for the leafs. The leafs defence is straight trash. And I meant number 1C cause you wouldn't wanna play a rookie number 1 Center would you? Matthews isn't that good. He isn't McDavid so stop trying to value him like he is. It would be Bennett (for now), Matthews, Bozak down the middle.

Hey Sid Slam before you say anything else in Hamilton look up: Brian Burke on Hamilton Rumours.

Hamilton shouldn't be going anywhere, he's been the best dman on Calgs so far this year by a decent amount. I don't usually trust Burke but I definitely don't think Dougie is going anywhere.

Mathews isn't that good? He's the best rookie in the game. Sure laine has 3-4 more points but he doesn't play a 200
Foot game and not out there playing against the best centers in the game. Mathews is better than anyone on the flames as a complete player and he's 19. Johnny hockey is great, but not a complete player.

Kudo's. Most fair trade I've ever seen any leafs fan propose. Looks reasonable for once.

This trade is so far outta this plane that you'd have to be on drugs to accept this.
Calgary would be getting robbed!
Typical leafs fan.
Give us your best and we will give ya nothing back.
How about Matt Stajan for your next 3 years first.
Seems about as legit as this trade.
