Proposal: TOR/CAR - Nylander - Hanifin

[Haatley]

It's true. You'd know better than anyone how expensive dmen are since your team has 4 #1 dmen with 2 in the minors with number 1 upside.
What a juggernaut defence.

Mmmkayy......

 

[Barilko14]

Will 20g rookie Connor Brown be in these proposals if he plays 4th line again for a few weeks, because he' clashing with Babcock??

We have 10 top line fwds, one of them is going to play 4th line.

Hopefully it's Leo eventually.

 

[LeafGrief]

No.

f*** no.

If we think Nylander is going to be a C then we will keep him and have the best trio down the middle in the league.

He can do both.

For all the points Matthews helps him add, Hyman takes away

He's also produced well on other lines, including limited minutes playing with Martin and Moore.

Don't waste your breath arguing with him.

 

[bluedevil58]

I would prefer Pesce.

Going to need to be a 1st and Nylander for a too pairing d men then.

 

[Liferleafer]

What do you mean? OP already proved the case for Nylander being a fulltime long-term center:

I know you are being sarcastic, but Nylander has played center at every level....i don't think he's forgotten how. That said, i would pass on the OP, no need to take a home run swing.

 

[Warden of the North]

Nope.

 

[Cassano]

Bad for the Leafs

 

[Unsustainable]

It’s fair value.

Though the need for Hanifin from Leafs is not as great as the need for Nylander in Carolina.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Not getting traded. Also, Carolina needs to add.

* Assuming he can produce without Auston.

 

[shortfuze]

Their names are Dermott and Liljeren and you'll be hearing a lot more about them soon. The leafs don't need to make a big trade for a young defenseman.

And if they did it's not for a LHD.

Big difference between playing in the AHL and NHL. BUT I hope they do good.

Sarcasm level: proficient.

 

[ole ole]

Said it before and will say it again. One of Nylander /Marner straight up for Hanifin is a good deal for both teams. It addresses the needs for both teams. If anybody needs to add it would be the Leafs as Hanifin value > Nylander but it would be a very minor +.

 

[jaric1862]

The leafs don't do this

Again, it looks like some folks look at the value of the players and not how they fit into the team. Leafs don't really need a LHD with Reilly, Gardiner, rookie Borgman and Dermot who likely the next Marlie graduate. So if Nylander or Marner were to be traded it would be for position of need. RHD, or long term centre. Nylander might, might be the answer or long term answer centre for the Leafs, one reason Nylander would unlikely be traded.

I wouldn't add anything. The Leafs are trending towards home ice advantage in the playoffs and the Canes will probably finishes outside of the playoffs for the 9th consecutive season. No point adding when you're selling hope.

 

[bluedevil58]

But you're over evaluating Nylander. He is still unproven meanwhile Pesce is a proven top pairing NHL d man with a good long term contract. Nylander on the other hand, scores s lot of points with Auston on the PP. You can't day for certain that he wouldn't just be a 40 point forward on another team...

Yeah and Pesce might not even be a top 4 on another team with a different partner, you can't say for certain. See how that works?

 

[bluedevil58]

No. I don't. Carolina doesn't have a super star on their team. Toronto on the other hand...

 

[VoluntaryDom]

leafs need righty dman.

would also probably prefer to trade marner than nylander.

 

[MinJaBen]

If the leafs need a RHD instead of LHD, but also need a center, what about Pesce plus Rask for Nylander plus a 3rd. You get the RHD you need that is a top pairing shutdown guy on a very team friendly contract, plus a center that is paid in line with a 2nd/high 3rd line center.

 

[Juxtaposer]

I know the cool thing to do on HF is to hype up Werenski and Provorov and shit on Hanifin, but Hanifin is scoring just as much and is an excellent possession player. Not sure why his value is so much lower than theirs.

 

[Roboturner913]

Letting go of Hanifin at this point is really, really, really difficult but value is fair, IMO

 

[Scott Stevens]

I think Nylander is a great player. And I think his transition to center is safe. This is the kindler, gentler nhl evolving. Skating and diligence will be enough.

I say both teams are happy.

His value isn’t any lower.

His “value”, among the great unwashed, however...
