To COL: Benoit, Holmberg
To TOR: Colton

Assuming Colorado acquires one of Nelson, Gourde, Granlund to play C there will be no room for Colton. I am also assuming only one of Lindgren/Girard will play there next season. This gives Colorado a 3LD, who played big minutes for Toronto in the playoffs, signed for 2 more seasons for very cheap. Holmberg is a throw-in but also has some value. He won a SHL championship and SHL playoffs MVP playing alongside Drury. They could provide 2/3 of a very good 4th line. Holmberg probably signs between 1-1.2M. This deal saves Colorado at minimum 2.25M if you account for the extra roster player.
 
This is an okay backup plan for the Leafs, but the prefence is to get a #2C and sign Tavares to play #3C.

Colton isn't a 2nd liner. Would also prefer to keep Benoit and send a pick or other depth player.

This is not a proposal for Colton to play 2C. Either Tavares returns and Colton would play 2/3LW or Tavares doesn’t return and he plays 3C.

Re: Benoit - Treliving said he wants another puck mover on the blue line. If he holds true to that, Benoit is coming out of the lineup. If he’s not going to play, they should capitalize on his value, especially since he has 2 years left at a good cap hit. What other depth options on the Leafs would even interest Colorado?

It’s not a bad offer, but I would wonder if the current no trade (changes to M-NTC July 1) would prevent this from happening. I also personally want the Avs to recover draft capital or prospects to use to go after bigger game.

Throw in Miles Wood to help clear out some more cap and I’d consider it.

0 chance Toronto takes back Miles Wood here. They need players who can score goals.

I’ve been under the impression that they’ll be using UFA to fill that 2C role so no draft capital required. I could also see them moving Girard for picks.

Yeah I truly think there’s a solid market for Colton. Toronto, NJD, NYR, Buffalo(?) come to mind out east and Anaheim, Utah, SJ(?), and Seattle(?) could be interested in the West.

Depends on how teams view what position he plays. Reality is he is a bottom 6 winger with a caphit of 4M.

I think the OPs offer is fair value.
 
From a Toronto stand point I wouldnt trade Benny in a deal like this. Hes improved so much and he's an absolute menace in the playoffs. Hes an ideal Physical number 5 who plays his heart out. Leafs need more of that not less.
 
That's a fair question, but what tre wants to do and what he can do are two totally different things. Let's aquire that puck mover first before we trade a heart and soul player away based on an assumed course of action.
 
The defense is an area that doesn't need to be touched beyond MAYBE a new #7

That doesn't mean Colton wouldn't be a solid addition he would.

But you don't need to touch the defense

You can make two separate trades in one off season. You can even trade players and sign players in the same off season.

Does Colorado not need a 3LD next season?

Maybe, depending on what they do with their own guys. But certainly not this one

The sarcasm is adorable. If you read what I actually said though its that I'm advocating for acquiring the puck mover first and then considering a trade with Benny or any of the other d next. By my count that would be 2 trades in one offseason. Solid attempt though.

So why can't we discuss what a trade involving Benoit would look like? What is the point of coming in here and trying to shut down a conversation about a move that you yourself would be open to?

Well first off I haven't made a single attempt to shut down any type of conversation whatsoever so the point you are making has a faulty premise. Second point is that I simply stated this trade should come with the understanding that the Leafs have already acquired a suitable puck mover. Unless of course you are advocating for poking holes in a line up without actually knowing if you can fill them ?

Sorry - I misinterpreted this as you trying to shut down the conversation about the trade proposed in this thread:

Atleast you can admit you misinterpreted what I said. I was clearly talking about the physical act of a trade and the order in which it should occur and not the conversation surrounding said trade.
