Good, keep him. The Canucks don't want him. Also Kapanen and your late pick don't do a thing for the Canucks either.I wouldn’t trade gardiner for Tanev

I'd do Tanev for Kapanen and the 25th. A late first and B prospect would be probably the lowest return I would take.
Ok go ahead and do that, then. You are the ones asking us to trade and we are saying no. By all means, go elsewhere, we don't care.As far as the Leafs are concerned we can go an get a Tanev/Myers or even a Doughty for cheaper than what you guys expect lol
It seems like you've got a case of overratingAre you insane? That wouldn't get you Tanev let alone the 2nd added.
It's not really a Leafs' fan thing. Seems like a fairly common fantasy for your fav team to fill a significant with a collection of good yet expendable parts. I remember doing it all the time as a yute. *shouts at cloud*Not taking a shot at all Leafs fans, as I know what it’s like as a Habs fans to get labelled by a number of posters on our side doing the same thing. But a winger and a late first isn’t going to acquire the piece/s you’re after or need to fill the holes you desperately have too. It always seems to come down to who you can give up without leaving any holes with big franchises and reality is, to get the players you require, you’re paying threw FA or getting fleeced most of the time threw trade. Offering Kapanen is convenient.
The Marlies look likely to be the calder cup champions. I'm sure they can find a 3rd pairing dman there.I dont think it gets you as much as you think. Likely a 3rd pairing D man.
If Canes management is expecting a hockey deal then they need to look at teams in a similar situation to the Canes but with young forward talent that can afford to lose 1 to obtain a D man. As far as the Leafs are concerned we can go an get a Tanev/Myers or even a Doughty for cheaper than what you guys expect lol
I would be interested as an Oilers fan. Kapanen has the speed to keep up with McDavid. Something around 10th overall for 25th overall, Kapanen, + ?
55 regular season NHL games in his career, 38 of them this year and he is 21..What is Kapanen exactly? Not established at all... A winger... A guy who has been around a while now and yet to find himself a regular spot.
I think.. Ben Hutton is attainable for Kapanen. I don't think he holds much value.. 25th overall? Meh.

Why are you throwing facts around? Kapanen is a vet who's been around for ages.55 regular season NHL games in his career, 38 of them this year and he is 21..
He has not been around for awhile and not found a spot. He is entering the NHL at a very common age and has nailed down a spot forsure. He would have earlier if the leafs didn't have insane winger depth.
It certainly makes in interesting, especially if Babs is adamant about keeping Nylander on the wing. Would you do it with Brown in place of Kap? And/or if the 1st was lower, in the 30/35 range
I was unaware it just sold. Still, tem now 100MM in debt and it is bleeding money. New owner didn't buy to lose moneyI'm genuinely curious. Are you insinuating that the Canes are looking to go cheap because the owner is looking to sell?
Yeah...ok. Aho over performed beyond expectations with 65 pts this year and 49 last year. He was a second round pick. Nylander has not reached his expectation at 61 for both years and was a 1st round pick. Nylander is faster and more skilled. Aho is not better than Nylander. Maybe Aho + a second is worth Nylander. Don't get me started on trading a generational center for a 5th overall.What nonsense are you babbling on about? A Leafs fan, as a unrealistic “what if” said Matthews+Nylander for Aho, Hanifin and the #2 OA pick. You responded with saying You wouldn’t rank Aho over Nylander and Matthews >>>>>Hanifin. You completely left out the 2nd OA pick part so your response was nonsense
To say that Hanifin is untradeable is crazy. Especially with a pretty solid defensive teamAnd I suppose you are?

What makes sense is for the Canes to capitalize on it's solid D to land some scoring punch.I don’t believe any canes fan has ever said he’s untradeable.
We’re not against the idea of trading him but it has to make sense. Virtually every single offer ever made on this forum doesn’t make any sense from the canes standpoint.
They didn't diminish. In fact their value is up. 1st round picks are not locks to make the NHL.And another thing, when you list off 2 prospects and a 1st round pick, that doesn't equal 3 1st round picks. Sure, those prospects might have been drafted in the first, but, much like a car, their value is diminished once you make the pick. When you offer 3 first round picks, I want 3 lottery cards, not one lottery card and 2 that have already been scratched off.
