Timmins + 2024 1st for Tanev at 50%. They can utilize their extra cap to make another deadline move later (if there is any). There isn't much interest to me from Toronto's end if the 1st isn't available, unless Minten/Cowan/Niemela is coming back. Doubt they move Knies.
One team I think might be in on Tanev would be the Stars. They could use a shutdown D.

Agreed. Simply because it’s Toronto and they are easily the most desperate team for defensemen right now… the return has to include their first round pick. I would rather accept another team’s offer of a a second round pick than accept a second round pick from Toronto.
And that is simply because of the metrics in Conroy trading with Treliving and the fact that Conroy’s first two trades as a GM are, by most people, considered on the lower end of returns. Conroy needs to have Toronto overpay. We need the discussion after this trade to be that Toronto played a steep price to get a quality defenceman.
