You think 2 goals in 5 games is “producing in the playoffs”?!!
2:45 is where you finally get the information you clicked on this video for.
Please stop making 10 min videos about things that take a maximum of 2 min to cover.
Every trade is just so different that it's hard to say. It depends of where the team is in regards of being contenders and the quality of the player coming back. Buffalo could afford to deal with picks but the Leafs are kind of win now mode just like Vegas were. Are you getting some equal to Tuch or someone a bit better or worse? The possibilities are endless till we start throwing deals out.
Heres a couple to start the argument 😂. Pesce for Nylander straight up. I know, where you going to get the money to sign him if they can't Nylander. This isn't a question about money, I'ts about not having enough to sign defensemen. Take Nylander's 40 away, save maybe 20 with Pesce. Knies, Domi and Bertuzzi should be able to make the numbers go their way……
They can't make a Jack Eichel trade because Buffalo traded for futures. Toronto wants to win now. So Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs a first and a second. Tuch was a 20 goal 50 point player where he was. That won't be enough for the Leafs. He was 25 at the time of the trade. They will want something similar. Maybe a very good D man and 50 point forward and maybe a first?
OLeafs are also capable and likely to pay him more than anyone else will, so maybe they won't lose him.
Kuznetsov Carlson and a second.
I just don't see a workable deal anywhere
Skej, Bunting and a first?
Eichel >>>> Nylander. 1st line championship defensively sound center vs 2nd line also ran winger that's a defensive liability. Eichel outproduces Nylander both in the regular season and playoffs. Not saying Nylander isn't a good hockey player, just saying he's not worthy of an Eichel type return…or contract. That will be particularly true after Nylander gets a raise on his next contract.
It means Nylander is going back to Sweden and stop playing in the NHL
I would do the eichel trade any day being a Toronto fan
Something like Horvat trade less Nylander don't get much not first round picks
Zegras for Nylander. One for One.
Toronto gets their second line centre they’re trying to force Nylander to be and should be able to lock him up long term for less than $10M, maybe even less than $8.5 if they know what they are doing.
Anaheim gets an elite Swedish winger to play with Leo as he develops into a superstar.
I’d say no way they’d get the same deal since Eichel was signed with term and Nylander is a pending FA. If Nylander comes with an extension then I’d value them about the same, yes.
Bro Jack Eichel looked the same geeky way his whole life😂
All I hope is that the Leafs lose! In the Cup Final would be even sweeter! And that they lose Nylander for nothing. And then he signs 8 years with the Habs. At 9M. That would be Awesome!
Mock trade for your entertainment:
To TOR: Johnathan Marchessault
Nicolas Hague
To VGK: William Nylander
nylander for hellebuyck.
nylander would surely get any money he wants in winnipeg or they flip him since they have more leverage than toronto. hellebuyck isn’t staying anyways. toronto is getting their superstar in net and save a couple of millions.
If this team is stupid enough to sign a floater to 13 mil, and let a true superstar go unsigned I'll happily watch them lose every year
Willy deserves 9-10 a year! Always comes to play
Leafs will sign Nylander; if they don't want to, they need to add first round picks, not mercenaries.
