I wouldn’t want to see Andersson traded who is basically our single greatest assets for RHD going forward and has shown very good early into what looks to be his rookie season and optically trading Neal after just signing him is a fine line to walk when considering trying to sign veteran UFA’s going forward.
The leafs will be wanting a good value forward signed at least for one more year or young RFA (one of Jankowski, Bennett, Czarnik) A top right side D (one of Hamonic, Brodie) a 1st round pick and most likely other futures as well.
I think the Leafs have let this go too long though and the absolute last thing they should do is let this go on past December 1st... time is of the essence now.
