Kadri was once thought of as an organizational outsider. A bubble prospect at best, and Wilson clearly didn't like him.
Frattin could play, was an up and comer and had some mojo but not scoring.
The 1st would have ended up being Morgan Rielly or someone selected right after him.
In many respects, Phoenix could have made itself a lot better. But, maybe not initially, hence the nixing on the deal.
Maybe I'm alone on this, but I could see this deal proposal being floated.
If there's one thing about the Leafs we've been able to learn, especially within the last two years, it's that they never seem satisfied or feel they have the right mix of skill and depth on D. And they will certainly be doing more tweaking, in the next 2-3 years. Once Finn, Percy, Riellly, Blacker, MacWilliam, Nilsson start coming online.
