Exactly. That's why I don't buy any of these shattenkirk rumours at this point. Everything the leafs have done so far has been with the big picture in mind. Giving away assets for somebody you could just sign in the summer is beyond stupid IMO. Especially when you factor in they'd have another player to protect in the expansion draft (assuming extend him).

This would be ideal, but somebody may trade for him prior to FA giving them a higher probability to sign him. That said, i don't think we have what the Blues would need to move Shatty....that we would be willing to move.

A third round pick for his negotiating rights after the playoffs.
I don't really see Toronto and St. Louis being a good fit before then.

Isn't he too old for the Leafs core? Also, you already have Zaitsev and Rielly, how many offensive minded dmen you guys need?
Yeah, wait for Ufa. We have a ton of $$ coming off the books this year and next. Sign and trade though.... for sure I'd dicuss that (depending on term and aav). I can see him going to Boston though and Chara retiring.
Wasn't it revealed that Shattenkirk wanted to remain in the US? Or am I thinking of another player...

Exactly. A team destined for another bottom 10 finish shouldn't be going after rentals. We could certainly use Shattenkirk next year and after that but this year the Leafs shouldn't even be discussing deals for short term players that'll cost assets. If a team is looking to move a salary dump that's short term and is an improvement over the fire tire players like Polak,Marincin and Hunwick, then I'm sure Lou would be all ears.

Shattenkirk is going to be a busy man the next few years when he signs with the Rangers, Bruins, Leafs and Devils. How is that going to work when one of these teams is playing another? The team that trades for him before the ASG will probably have triple the odds of signing him long-term than the next closest team.
If the Leafs were allowed to set up the framework for an extension prior to a trade, I would absolutely be holding out for Nylander, even if it meant taking back Michalek and adding another "+". If we're talking about the Leafs simply taking a leap of faith and hoping he would be open to re-signing, I think a Shattenkirk for JVR swap is about the best these two teams could do and I would hope that the Blues would look elsewhere.

He's going to join the legion of overpaid vet D men on July 1st.
Don't think he falls into the Leafs vision of a younger core

He'll most likely be a Ranger...he's what they need to be a Cup contender and he's local to NYC.

Yup no need to pay assets out here, Especially if it's true that Shattenkirk does want to play in the Northeastern US Doubt Toronto is on his desirable list of teams that he would sign long term with.

Putting aside all the supposed talk that he will assuredly be a Ranger.....
..... Toronto and St. Louis are terrible trade partners. What is Toronto going to offer that helps the Blues? They obviously aren't offering a Matthews, Nylander, or Marner. The Blues are stocked full at LW so JVR doesn't work. What is the enticing piece for the Blues to do a trade with the Leafs?
And on the flip side, why is Toronto trading for a rental player? Doesn't fit their timetable at all.

Nylander for an extended Shattenkirk? You'll be hard pressed to find any leafs fan interested in that. Nylander is a core player, is
Shattenkirk? I don't think he is personally. He's a very good player who I'd like to have but Nylander is a potential franchise guy. Shattenkirk isn't.
