[Regsauceleafs]

To Toronto:
Ville pokka

To Chicago:
Peter Holland
Conditional 4th round pick
(If Peter holland plays less than 40 games for them next season Chicago will get Torontos 4th in the 2017 draft)

Thoughts?

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 and Leivo for Pokka and a 3rd. We'd easily do that.

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.

Done. I would love this.

I agree! But I doubt they need two 3rd line lw's

I love this more than previous!

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.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Id be patient with Leivo.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I thought this was bad for Chicago but the 1 Hawks fan in here seems all for it.

I'm pretty sure Hawks fans think super highly of Pokka

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.

Leivo plays RW as well (probably more than he plays LW these days).

 

[SeaOfBlue]

Id be patient with Leivo.

Only problem is that there really isn't any space.

 

[BK]

I wouldn't do this trade.

You don't trade top 4 potential d for 3rd line players.

 

[slappipappi]

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.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Hawks would ask for kapanen

 

[migi]

Guess I am alone then and these other Blackhawks fans think that Pokka is going to be legit #4. I don't. Sorry Leafs fans!

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Pokka for Kapanen is the only thing that makes sense for the Blackhawks. They shouldn't trade him.

Kapanen isn't NHL ready and apparently the Hawks are in need of NHL help now

 

[Xscout*]

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.
