Trade power rankings!
Since Nashville entered the league, the Leafs and Predators have five trades with each other. Here they are, ranked. All trade data is taken from NHL Trade Tracker:
1. The Brett Lebda Trade
Remember that time Brian Burke somehow managed to trade Brett Lebda (who famously post a -3 in a game the Leafs won 9-3). Not only did he manage to trade Lebda, he actually was able to get useful Cody Franson and marginally useful player Matthew Lombardi in return. Ledba was later bought out by Nashville.
2. The Ghost of the Brett Lebda Trade

Four years after the Predators traded Cody Franson for Brett Lebda, Nashville decided they wanted Franson back. They traded Maple Leafs Legend Olli Jokinen, promising prospect Brendan Leipsic, and a first round pick for pending UFAs Franson and Santorelli. To add insult to injury, Franson was stuck behind Shea Weber, Seth Jones, and Roman Josi on right defense, had a string of very bad puck luck after the trade deadline, and signed with Buffalo in the offseason.
3. Or, A Team Was Actually Willing to Pay an Asset to Acquire Tie Domi's Rights

The title really says it all. I don't know what they were thinking with this one.
4. Seriously, Why Does Nashville Keep Giving Up Assets for Enforcers?

13 years after the Domi trade, Nashville did it again, giving up AAAA player Taylor Beck for AHL enforcer Jamie Devane.
5. Or, I Have No Idea Who Either of These Players Are

The Leafs and Predators swapped AHLers in 2002. I'll count this one as a draw but it should be noted that Wren never played an NHL game for the Predators while Perrott played 43 (likely mediocre) games with the Leafs.
That's it for this edition of trade power rankings! Here's a poll:
