Ekholm-Granlund dream probably off the table.

At this point, it seems like its going to be Hall.
Hmmm
Think he would be a really good fit for the Leafs, both as a top 6 or 3rd liner depending on where Hyman is in the lineup. Getting him at 50% would allow them to either add another cheap player or just have a 21-man active roster.I will say Iafallo always made sense for the Leafs. I think he's a target. A couple months ago the Kings were fighting for a playoff spot so it seemed unlikely but they have fallen a bit since. He fits a lot what they are looking for and at a very good price. Not exactly a sexy name like Hall though.
I could see the Leafs also looking at Grundstrom or Anathasiou for additional forward depth.
Is making the playoffs their goal, especially with limited attendance?
So you're saying he's due?In 35 years on the job, Poile has never folded or gone all-in. Don't expect him to start at 71.
I like Iafallo. He's a good top 6 winger with no real weaknesses, and the Leafs really only have 5 reliable top 6 wingers. I just don't really see him as a difference maker the same way Taylor Hall is
I don't want Iafallo or Hall. Don't really see the need for either when we have plenty of decent/good forwards that we can play. Gally is looking decent so far so keep playing him or let Robertson play a few and see what he can do on one of the top lines.
Would prefer Dubas just get a good goalie and call it a day and not trade our picks and good prospects away for a non-priority need.

I wouldn't mind it. He would look so good on the 2nd line. Time to go for it. Canadian division. This could be our time to strike. We are a pretty good offense but we would be unstoppable with Hall.
So I saw this posted in another thread but someone mentioned moving Andersen to help fit Hall in.
Now I'll say this. I don't want Hall. I don't think he is the type of attitude play you want to bring into a team. At some point you really have to consider that maybe he is a problem. 11,12,15,17, and 19. 5 first overall picks for teams he's been on in 9 years in the league. 8 of 9 drafting in the top 5-10. Buffalo will be no worse than 4th? overall this year. Don't want him.
But now to the point of this.
Andersen, Kerfoot, 1st round pick, more if needed. Don't want to trade anyone of Sandin, Liljegren, Robertson, but would move Amirov.
Hall and Ullmark
I would bring Hall in, if you could get Ullmark too.
