I would not mind this, even though I am not sure what kind of player Holland is. In Chicago he won't get very good players with him if he is 3rd line player and can't play left wing (there is 1LW spot open).
I'm not high on Pokka either so I would do it. If Blackhawks could land somehow cheaply Leivo too, I would be happy with it.

They both play lw, holland is the better player and has more value IMO. I think holland can play better with lesser wingers than Leivo could. Leivo is more of a sniper and would need someone to get him the puck.

Holland, Leivo and a conditional 4th for Pokka? Hell yes. Remove the conditions on the pick and change it to a 3rd and I still do it.

Actually there is a chance that we need two, because it seems now that we don't have potential skill in our bottom 6.
It could chance though.

I am even from Finland but I am not sold for Pokka and we need potential forwards now who can be in the lineup. Pokka was bad in World's and he wasn't good last fall's training camp.
I was high with him before, but not anymore. I could be wrong, but next season Leivo and Holland could help Hawks, Pokka will not. There is a 99 percent chance that he would end up again to Rockford so I would trade him now.
Pokka to the leafs is an idea that has been floated before on here.
Wouldn't shock me if it happens in real life.

This is a no brainer "big no" for Chicago fans.
Pokka is potentially being groomed for a top 4 role, and he won't be traded for a bottom 6 journeyman.

QU! Bobcats!
Pokka for Kapanen is the only thing that makes sense for the Blackhawks. They shouldn't trade him.
Hmm.. this is actually a decent proposal. I usually don't even click these anymore because they're usually trash.
Pokka will more than likely be taken in the expansion draft (unless he's exempt and I missed something)
Chi town could definitely use holland no doubt. He's a pretty solid mid 6 forward probably with some upside if played in a good role. He can also play all 3 fwd positions. He penalty killed too.
Honestly if the leafs didn't have soooo many young players that need nhl ice i wouldn't even want to deal him.

Yeah the Leafs dont really have anyone thats nhl ready, cheap, good and realistically moveable. Rychel would be the closest I guess (why werent the blackhawks in on him????)

I don't necessarily disagree with you in thinking Pokka won't be a top 4 dman. That said, if you trade him, you probably should look for a little bit more back.
