Assume the order stays the same after the Draft Lottery: THIS IS A PENS FAN, IN NO WAY BIASED
Trade:
To EDM:
Nazem Kadri,
Dion Phaneuf,
Jonathan Bernier
2017 2nd
To TML:
3rd Overall
Nail Yakupov
Edmonton solves every issue they have. they get their top 2 dman, 2nd line Center, and a starting goalie.
Leafs continue to build for the future.
Trade 2:
To FLA:
Phil Kessel
To TML:
Brian Campbell (cap reasons)
11th overall
1) Buffalo-> Connor McDavid
2) Arizona-> Jack Eichel
3) Toronto-> Noah Haniffin
4) Toronto-> Dylan Strome
5) Carolina
6) NJ
7) Philly
8) Columbus
9) San Jose
10) Colorado
Toronto then swap their 11th and 25th picks for Max Domi and a 2nd 2016

Excellent trade! I would do the first one from either perspective! The second one I believe kessel could fetch more. Just my opinion tho.

I think EDM keeps the 3rd pick. I've seen a few people suggest the Leafs could trade up with Edmonton, with Phaneuf as the main piece.
So: TOR: 3rd overall - EDM: 4th overall, Phaneuf
The Florida trade is alright.

it doesn't solve any of EDM's problems. phaneuf isn't a legit #1, he'd be in the same situation as he is in TOR and will be constantly criticised just as he is in TOR. Bernier may be a very good goalie in the near future (2-3 years by the time he's 28/29), but he has shown that he needs a team in front of him to excel, which EDM doesn't have either nd his numbers will likely be even worse than they were the 2nd half of this year in Toronto. finally, explain to me why EDM needs a #2c? they ave rnh and draisaitl that will likely be their top 2 c's in a couple years and they might even draft strome just because they have some kind of weird fetish reagrding picking forwards with every top pick they have except for nurse.

shank, can you name me 30 legit #1 dmen? nope. dion would be as he is right now, far and away the best dman on either team.
unless your carey price every goalie needs a team in front of him to succeed
draisatl isn't close to ready to undertake full time 2nd line c duties. like you said maybe in 2 years, maybe. doesn't help edmonton now. kadri is better and is still very young.
this trade does help both teams, not saying it would happen.

Toronto will get more for kessel. he's going to the islanders
The edm one is a bad trade for Leafs, Bernier is not going anywhere.
