How about a simple, straight-forward Leafs trade?

Tor: Rasmus Sandin, 2024 4th

Sea: Carson Soucy

Seattle gets younger, and a skilled left shot option for their power play. Change of scenery may justify Sandin's 2018 1st rd draft selection. Is dtd on ir.

Toronto gets some size and shutdown ability that's been missing since Muzzin went down. Soucy has played in Seattle's top 4. Rumoured to be available, UFA after this season.

Honestly not bad Sandin is coming along nice and I think he is very solid on the bottom pairing and can develop into a Cam Fowler Esq type of player but Soucy does bring a different element and is a current upgrade

With that being said I don’t think Soucy is actually available also I’m not sold that Sandin can afford to be traded due to him being so cost controlled.

so Sandin is valued higher than Soucy. hes younger, produces more points, and has minimum 3 years of cost control. soucy is a UFA making twice what Sandin does.

I could see Soucy being available. With Borgen emerging this year and having Dunn, Larsson, Oleksiak all under control. I think they’ll trade him if they don’t plan on resigning him. Nice trade.

Francis is the type of cerebral gm that will think about the future while adding for the playoffs. The Kraken defence is huge and not especially mobile.

Admittedly not great optics for Leafs, but Dubas is running low on trade chips attractive to other gms.
He needs to do more to help his team weather the East playoff storm.
Not bad adds up front so far, but can’t see them getting anywhere with that polite defence.

Add Hollowell to the deal and send a second with Soucy. Sandin is under cost control as is Hollowell but Soucywalks at the end of the year. Both Leaf guys are good puck movers while Soucy is a second pair physical guy. Sandin is expected to be a #2 defenseman.
