Speculation: William Nylander on the move?

[Ulysses31]

leafs are dumb if they trade nylander. think dubas learned his lesson from kadri trade.

 

[sittler rules!!!]

It's an offhand comment during a 6 hour broadcast. It's not based on anything real. Bob McKenzie and all the connected Leafs beat writers seem pretty sure none of the big 4 are being moved.

Then losing in the future it is

 

[ER89]

Don't worry, like I said, Nylander doesn't get you Dumba.

No one is worried. I'm glad you believe this. Dumba for nylander would be horrific for the leafs.

 

[kb]

We heard that Guerin doesn't like any of them enough to pull the trigger, which makes sense if you believe he's a 45-55 point RD.

Meanwhile, we got confirmation after the Kapanen trade that offers for Nylander were B players and grab bag deals, which Dumba is more valuable than.

Link to the offers?

They said nothing of the sort - underwhelming is what was said there too, just like Dumba.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Nah, Dubas won't trade him.

That'd be admitting his plan is flawed. Can't trade a core piece, not after saying earlier that they wouldn't be moved.

 

[Cotton]

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

Brady Tkachuk.

Dumba is the worse worst that ever worsted!

Not at all, but it’s nearly unanimous that we don’t want him. He doesn’t have the value to us because he doesn’t possess the skill set we need.

ADA -Georgiev-2nd for free Willy?

Terrible, want no part of ADA.

Nah, Dubas won't trade him.

That'd be admitting his plan is flawed. Can't trade a core piece, not after saying earlier that they wouldn't be moved.

Yep, which is unfortunate because his ego is in the way of actually improving the team.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Don't worry, like I said, Nylander doesn't get you Dumba.

What would Dumba fetch....? Can’t be much more then 2021 1st I believe nylander is worth more.

 

[Warden of the North]

People in the media are like "I keep hearing his name out there"

That's because you idiots don't stop saying it! You've been saying it nonstop since he was drafted.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Yep, which is unfortunate because his ego is in the way of actually improving the team.

I honestly wonder how much rope he's got left......another early exit and Shanahan might start thinking about making a change (if he hasn't already).

 

[Shanwhatplan]

Brian Lawton mentioned during the NHL draft show to not be surprised to see Nylander moved so that the Leafs could have a more balanced lineup. He said it makes the most sense. Will this be for a Dumba type of move or elite prospect/picks to free up the money for Pietrangelo. I've said all along I believe Pie will sign with the Leafs.

I can’t see it happening, unless Dubas finally comes to his senses and realizes he can’t win with 4 forwards taking up half the cap.

 

[Colt55]

Brady Tkachuk.

Lol brady ktchuck you are such a kidder

 

[Cotton]

Lol brady ktchuck you are such a kidder

I’m sure you are super familiar with Nylander and all that. So than make an argument why a W/C who has hit 60+pts and 30+ goal, and is signed long term to 6.9M (4.7 in real dollars) isn’t worth Tkachuk, who hit 44pts twice.

Don’t just make nonsense flyby comments Colt, show people you have an ounce of hockey knowledge by forming an argument.

 

[Shanwhatplan]

It makes so much sense to move someone like Nylander to balance things out but alas Toronto is known to be stubborn, don't see them doing anything

Especially since Dubas believes that he still can win with this core, and will keep them together for at least one more season (I’m not sure if Dubas has stated this publicly).

 

[SensFactor]

Brady Tkachuk.

Nope. Thanks goodbye.

 

[SprDaVE]

Kyle Dubas trading Nylander would be extremely surprising and the return would have to be pretty significant.

 

[Kelly]

Nylander is one of the best $$$ value players on the team, id be shocked if Dubas trades him outside of a redonk overpayment.

 

[Sonofamitch]

Lol Nylander has back to back 60 point seasons and 1, 59 point 30 goal season in a Short season.

people are just get hung of up Brady’s last name, take that out and it’s pretty fair value all things considered.

Ktchuck is the real deal. He hits. Blocks passes and is nasty feller. Where nylander is soft as.. cotton. Brady is 6'4" 21 years old and elc. He was 19 and 20 when he put those numbers up. 1st year he was better than nylander and second year nylander had more assists. On top of all that brady played on a shit team and nylander played on one of the top offenses in the league.

So do the math in my book and everyone else's brady is by far the better assest hands down

Lol
Your not getting Tkachuk, Ottawa loves that guy.

 

[Blue Nate]

This is just Paul stirring up interest for TSN's show.

 

[Shanwhatplan]

Who would you rather have on your team next year Nylander or Pietrangelo? If Pie wants to sign than you ship Nylander out asap.

From what I’ve read (https://mapleleafshotstove.com/2020...king-up-the-money-truck-for-alex-pietrangelo/) and heard, Pietrangelo is not the shutdown rhd that we’re looking for. I think I would much rather go for two top 4 rhd, like Hamonic and Savard, or even T.J. Brodie, rather than one very expensive top 2 rhd.

That’s a nice emotional response, but it’s rooted in preference, not fact. Brady, who is 6’3, doesn’t bridge the talent gap because he throws a bunch of hits. I mean what did he expect, he’s asking for the price on someone who would be their best forward, a couple of 2nd round picks isn’t going to cut it.

Save the good/bad team nonsense, Parayko plays on a good team therefore Ristolainen>Colton. That’s what that argument comes off as.

 

[Shanwhatplan]

Half of the people who make fun of Dubas for saying that clearly don't know what he was referring to

To be perfectly honest, I’m one of them.
Seriously, because I would like to know, what was he referring to?

 

[PensandCaps]

Brian Lawton also said the Leafs were a couple tweaks away from winning the Cup. I would not listen to Brian Lawton.

They kinda are, though

 

[glucker]

Dubas's comments about the core and the depth lead me to believe that he will not be trading any core piece, but will ship out guys like Kerfoot, Johnsson, and Dermott to fill the hole on the right side, and then back-fill the depth with budget signings.
