[Trade] Ilya Lubushkin (double retention) to the Leafs for a 3rd rounder. Canes get a 6th.

Oh there would have been a Treliving tax for sure on Tanev…

Tie in value goes to any other team.

Plus even the ones like me that don't hate him, still don't miss this type of trade.

I think he's a decent guy as a person and don't hate him at all. I just didn't like a lot of his work as Flames GM. The fact that he's Leafs GM just means I'm hoping for failure and so far he's delivered.

Don't forget about the 6th rounder.

I would much rather have a serviceable goalie than a 6/7 defenseman

(assuming I needed both)
