California Seals and Saskatoon Blades announce a trade!
In an exchange of top prospects between the teams, the California Seals are trading away:
Ian Mitchell (D)
Nikolai Prokhorkin (F)
Travis Dermott (D)
for
Rasmus Andersson (D)
Henrik Borgstrom (F)
Reasoning: California Seals trade away their top D prospect and highly touted KHL scorer along with Travis Dermott, who has an up and down couple seasons with the Leafs but has played top 4 on many occasions for a Leafs team who still haven't figured out their D corp for potential top pairing D in Rasmus Andersson (and a favourite of the Seals GM) and top prospect Henrik Borgstrom who seems to be on unsteady ground with the Florida Panthers. The trade from the Seals end feels like a gamble on if Andersson can ever reach his potential with a sweetener in Borgstrom, who still hasn't yet shown he's the prospect everyone thought he might be.
Sasky Blades GM has fended off multiple attempts by Seals GM to acquire Andersson, but was finally convinced this last offer with the addition of Ian Mitchell.
