Speculation: William Nylander on the move?

[Man Bear Pig]

The problem in trading Nylander is that if you're planning on using the cap space to sign Pietrangelo or someone else, you basically cant take any cap hits back in return for Nylander. It would be Nylander for futures. Given the flat cap the next few years, I cant see teams lining up to take on salary while trading cheap young players on ELC's.

 

[Once]

I wouldn't move Nylander for any of the proposed deals. He's about to boom here soon and I want him in TO when he does.

 

[Petrus]

Mirtle.

Thanks for that! I think Mirtle Is credible.

@AKL ... looks like I was wrong! I owe you an apology!

 

[Go4soda]

Agree. Dumba is awful.

Agree.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Agree.

Dumba is the worse worst that ever worsted!

 

[Go4soda]

Dumba is the worse worst that ever worsted!

He’s not a terrible hockey player. But he’s not the answer , especially at that cost

Fine. Leafs can essentially field same team from last year and lose again.
We've all been thru this before.
Were you paying attention?
Tavares - NMC can't move
Matthews - don't wanna move
Marner - can move, but requires eating 3-4 m off 11m cap.

Nylander is odd man out if you want cap space.
And you need cap space b'c AP is not gonna come to you for 5 or 6 per.

Total failure on your part to acknowledge truth.
NY has O interest in Anderson
zero in in Kerfoot

takes that on so you have a chance.

But I'm the one who's wrong here.
Guess again.

Or better yet, just let's see how it pans out.

You either make a signif move to get signif cap or you don't.



If AP to FL as ufa, aka free, except $, no acquisition cost, Panthers likely to keep Ekblad.
Also, if they redeploy to repurpose asset Ekblad he fetches more than Nylander.
He fetches a drastically retained Marner or other

Yaa umm 90+ point Marner is worth more than 7 million dollars to any team. His contract is half paid out he probably has massive value to a few teams

 

[bernmeister]

I don’t even know where to start....
This is garbage and if there was a licence required to post trade proposals , yours should be cut up and burned I front of you with no chance or renewing for a decade .

You want a team to swoop in and overpay for Nyl AND give cap relief.
You be waiting a long, long, long time for that.

The garbage is your dishonesty and lack of forthrightness.

Not aware some of his salary may already be paid, reducing real dollars if a suitor got him.

No knock there, just speaking to reality that few teams can afford him; most will have to send at least some salary the other way. The (almost) 11m per is such a huge number some of it will surely have to be retained.
Math says the more retained, the more suitors can think about squeezing him in.

I would like to see the Flyers make a play for Nylander. Would something around Ghost for Nylander be a decent starting point? I'd propose a risk/reward deal for both teams...

TO PHI
- Nylander
- Liljegren

TO TOR
- Patrick
- Gostisbehere

... this deal is risky for Philly IF Patrick can stay semi-healthy. If he does, the Leafs get a phenomenal return for Nylander. If Patrick can't stay healthy, it will come down to Nylander vs. Gostisbehere as I feel Liljegren is an absolute scratch-off ticket.

What a pathetic offer. Only guys on the Flyers that get the conversation going are Konecny, Myers, Sanheim etc, which I would assume are non starters for PHI anyway

 

[Maplebeasts]

I'd love Nylander on the Sens. How much?

Well he's worth a lot to us so a good deal. Probably Sanderson as a base but Leafs really aren't interested in moving him. He was getting close to ppg last year and was pacing for nearly 40 goals.

Not even close. Nylander will return a lot more than that. The price for Willy Nylander is sky high. Try top pairing D.

Ryan Murray then ?

Finding a top pairing D that is on the block is super hard and most teams won’t be trading them. It’s tough moving high end players

 

[Leaf Fans]

Ryan Murray then ?

He was traded already and returned a 5th rounder, so obviously no.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Would you guys be willing to do something around Murphy+ for Nylander?

 

[SnizzNasty88]

Would you guys be willing to do something around Murphy+ for Nylander?

Not really no, Nylander is way more valuable.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Not really no, Nylander is way more valuable.

What about Keith at $4M?

 

[SnizzNasty88]

What about Keith at $4M?

This is even worse. Nylander wont be moved for an older player. Leafs will keep him until they get the right deal.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Would you guys be willing to do something around Murphy+ for Nylander?

No

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I don't think any of the big boys move this off season, maybe next if little or no progress is made but not this year

 

[Sens9292]

Nothing you'd likely be comfortable with.

He's that special?
