Point being, take out the extra pieces and in a vacuum, forsberg for a top prospect and a first is more or less the value Nashville is likely to expect based on what we've seen rental players go for in the pastSo how's about you hold off on replying to anything here until some NHL management teams chime in, then?

I haven't seen anyone from the Leafs front office corroborate their interest, so I'm not sure we should be discussing it.
So you want to get Nashville to take Toronto's trash for good players? Ritchie is garbage. Dermott is bottom pair on D. The pick is valuable. Amirov is complete trash and a waste of a first round pick who will never see the NHL. Hutchinson is pure hot garbage.

Forget Forsberg, would be interested in what Tanner Jeannot is worth though.. like what I am seeing from him this year.

Toronto doesn’t offer because they can’t afford to extend Forsberg and a 1st plus Amirov is a lot to give up for a pure rental.
Nashville declines because the 1st is in the wrong year, we have no use for half of what’s being sent towards us and we’d rather have Ingram than Hutchinson. Ritchie and Dermott don’t move the needle any.

We have so little interest in trading him the return request would have to be intentionally ridiculous just to adequately convey the point. Part of it is we're still unsure quite what his ceiling is at this point.lol

The proposal is needlessly complex. First plus a prospect is probably what he will go for as a rental. Throw the rest out. If the Leafs were interested they could deal with the cap implications elsewhere. It doesn't have to be all one trade. FWIW, I don't see retention on rentals as a huge game changer. It opens up the market a bit, but it's more like, if you get an offer you like, you retain to make it work if needed.
I'm torn on whether the Leafs go for a big dick rental this season. On one hand, they've got to prove something before you keep wasting assets. On the other, in for a penny in for a pound, I guess. I would way rather go big on a guy like Forsberg than spend another 1st on a ~30 point defensive winger to play on our top offensive line...

I think the fans would riot. He is probably the most universally liked "favorite player" in years. He's easy to cheer for and seems to be a motor for this team. I don't think it's a stretch to see him with a letter on his chest with the path he's leading.

Why would Nashville take this and kick the first down the road a year when they can easily get a first this coming year in a highly touted draft?
For Amirov? They get a slightly later 1st in a weaker draft and a top rospect now and a serviceable bottom 4 d to make up difference.

Hey! You suck!
We can probably get the pick in this draft and a prospect that is just as good. Also have zero need for the Dman.

Mark stone get traded for a 2nd pick and brannstrom and he resign 2 week later with vegas.
Stone is by far a better player than forsberg so if nashville get amirov and a 1st pick (or something similar) for a rental forsberg, they will be extremely lucky. 1st pick and abramov should be closer of forsberg value right now

'Really? Ritchie...23 shots on goal in 15 games. And most of those shots were perimeter shots. 9 of those shots came in 2 games. One with 4 shots, one with 5 shots. That means 14 shots in 13 games. How much more garbage do you need? Amirov is starting to look like a bust. Dermott has late 4th or early 5th round pic value. All the players coming are decent and Forsberg is a star. Come on man, I know you are a leaf fan and over value players, but Hutchinson? Really? That is a hot garbage goalie.

Isn't Amirov a 2020 draft pick? How the hell can he be a bust already? Did his other leg fall off?
He’s a rental. For 2 1sts. Imo that’s to much for Forsburg think he gets a b prospect and 1st at the deadline. A little more then hall. probably would go to Pittsburgh or Carolina.

People simply need to stop talking about Dermott, Ritchie, and Hutchinson, period. There is no way Nashville takes any of those players back, no way they give up Ingram and Benning as part of a package that sees them coming back. Everybody just needs to flush that part of the proposal from their minds.
1st+Amirov just for Forsberg is a decent proposal. Some fans on either side could get onboard with that. But I think Nashville fans in general would rather just wait and see... we wouldn't take that proposal today. Come March, if we still think we don't need Forsberg for our own playoff run, and if it turned out to be the best offer on the board, it would be "good enough". I think we'd all rather be keeping Forsberg and having a playoff run instead. OR we'd prefer if a bidding war provided a more interesting prospect than Amirov. But end of the day, it's not impossible we could take that deal in March. Not very likely everything turns out that way, but not impossible.
Whereas anything involving those other players per the OP IS fully impossible.
