Proposal: TOR - NJ

[Bloomberg]

Counter Offer!

Mercer, Kuokkanen, Maltsev,

for

Nick Robertson, Hållander, Hyman

If Hyman is asking for 4M+ on the extension, I'd do the deal

This isn't awful, but there is absolutely no reason for the Devils to trade any one of those forwards barring a massive overpayment. This is just a lateral move for little to no reason.

Robertson is a great prospect but if I'm the Devils, I keep the guy I drafted in Mercer who is pretty close to the same level and long-term should fill in nicely around the current NHL players.

Hallander again is a good prospect, but why do I trade Kuokkanen for him even straight up when he has looked fantastic so far this year under the Devils first year coach in Ruff?

Devils don't have any real use for Hyman either -- isn't he a UFA anyways? Better off letting Kuokkanen, Maltsev, Sharangovich, etc. play their way into the role that Hyman. Save that cap space to fill out the top of the roster.

There's absolutely zero reason for the Leafs to trade Hyman if they're going all in at the deadline.

The largest contracts that went to UFA forwards last fall were for Toffoli and Dadanov, and Hyman scores less than both of these players. Toffoli also saw a pay decrease ($4.6M to $4.25M) and Dadanov saw a $1M pay increase ($4M to $5M). Hyman's extension won't be as much as the Toronto media seems to think it will be.

understandable, I thought it would be a way to even out out our RW and LW depth by trading Mercer for Robertson. Hallander would be the Maltsev replacement and Hyman I thought could be what Johnsson was suppose to be for us and simply be where Hughes needs him to be like he does with Mathews.

Robertson and Mercer are very different prospects though. I see Robertson as a scorer with a ceiling of being being able to score 35+. Mercer, IMO is more of an all-round player that you can put anywhere in the line up, but the ideal position I think would be 2nd line wing. I don't really see him as a center. Mercer has a higher floor, but lower ceiling as a prospect. It depends on what NJ needs.

And still not in the NHL, they are obviously developing him for that 23 year old breakout.

defence prospects dont usually make the NHL at 21.

he is a very good prospect developing nicely. thanks for the concern!

 

[CatchyTune]

. Your kidding right.....

absolutely f***ing not

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

absolutely f***ing not

KD would pull the trigger on it in a second FITZ would just hang up the phone.....

ok. whatever you say

i wouldnt even think about it. i dont know why we consider doing that.

 

[FightingIrishDevil]

absolutely f***ing not[/QUOTe

If you want Mercer you need to start talking Nylander.

 

[CatchyTune]

are you really this delusional?

i never even asked for him. no interest from me.

 

[FightingIrishDevil]

If you give up Nylander we will give you Mercer.

 

[FightingIrishDevil]

He is mad that they can't win a cup even with Austin Matthews.

I'm not concerned at all, I don't want Liljegren at all. The original trade is pure trash.

thats fine if you dont want him. i agree the OP was bad, i was shocked at first because i thought it was a devils fan lol

 

[CatchyTune]

i wouldnt trade Nylander for 3 Mercers

 

[Xirik]

i wouldnt trade Nylander for 3 Mercers

are we talking about 3 exact Mercers or can one of them be an LW Mercer? If its the second I would totally take those Mercers over Nylander. Now if they were the exact same Mercers then I wouldn't want that many Mercers cause thats one Mercer to much.

 

[FightingIrishDevil]

A couple of years in the NHL you won't be able to trade 3 Nylander's for Mercer.

plot twist i was talking about Rick the whole time

no clue what you're trying to spew out here

 

[Smitty426]

im not 100% sure what you mean. Liljegren has been playing pro games since 2017-18

Yeah him and Bracco

 

[Nico Hischier]

Take mercer out of OP and the value is closer but I would still say no

 

[CatchyTune]

Yeah him and Bracco

yep. may as well write both off eh

 

[Smitty426]

Why does it matter who play pro games first? Also Dmen takes longer to get to the NHL in general.

Keep your horrible players and we'll keep ours

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Mercer may play pro games before Lilj! Enjoy him!

We will enjoy Liljegren, actually I think he's going to be included in a trade soon. but this was a horrible offer from NJ's point of view. as a Leafs fan. accepted quick enough before u can take back lol
Liljegren is under rated he will surprise people sometime soon I think. He should play full time next year in Toronto or if hes traded I could see him getting the call almost instantly unless the 2 week covid thing
