2019 Roster and Fantasy GM Thread

If we trade Tanev or Edler I think we need to get back a high quality D prospect + pick at minimum.

But...if we can get Nylander for a package around Tanev or Edler, I would get it done and take the swing at a $7MM x 7 year deal for Nylander. People constantly underrate how solid his two way game or ES production has been. He's an insane talent who would be well worth the money long term. Nylander's playmaking ability would be pretty incredible with Petterson.

I like the idea of Nylander on this team as a player, and I thought about that too.

I think part of the problem is that he's not signing what Toronto is offered, and honestly I don't think he's earned what you've offered here. He might well improve to that level, but if he really is expecting 8 a season....well I don't think he'd be a fit here with Boeser needing a raise after this season.

Plus I don't know that Toronto needs another LHD for that kind of price. They have Gardiner and Reilly already.

I think Boeser gets 6-6.5 a year max. Hasn’t played a full season yet. I’d have no problem going all in on Nylander. I’d offer a Ton. Tanev+Lind+Goldobin+2nd+2nd?He’d be perfect with EP. Sign him 7X7. Sign Panarin in FA and our offence is set for a looong time. Can then go all in on focus for defense.

Panarin-Pettersson-Nylander
Baertschi-Horvat-Boeser

As mentioned a few times, all the scuttlebutt is around Panarin going to go NY/Florida/California.

 

[MS]

Nylander would be stunning with Pettersson and the team should be moving mountains to see if they can make it happen.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Nylander would be stunning with Pettersson and the team should be moving mountains to see if they can make it happen.

I’d move Tanev++ for him instantly. We can sign Myers in FA to replace him.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Nylander would be stunning with Pettersson and the team should be moving mountains to see if they can make it happen.

If by mountains you mean Tanev and/or Juolevi, I agree. Other than that, I’m not sure what VAN could offer? They are not moving Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser and their 1st. What else would do the job?

 

[Addison Rae]

Carolina moved two poorly tracking top picks for Dougie Hamilton this year. I would easily put Juolevi and Virtanen together in a package for Nylander.

Dubas likely laughs and hangs up, though. I see him going to Carolina for something around Pesce.

 

[geebaan]

I’d move Tanev++ for him instantly. We can sign Myers in FA to replace him.

Yea, I feel like the conversation starts with Hughes, and ends quickly after that(I hope)

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

I’d move Tanev++ for him instantly. We can sign Myers in FA to replace him.

I would not touch him.Not with those supposed contract demands.Im sure he has some skill but the cost to get him is crazy high.And like some one else said.it would start with Hughes going the other way...not happening..

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

I think Boeser gets 6-6.5 a year max. Hasn’t played a full season yet. I’d have no problem going all in on Nylander. I’d offer a Ton. Tanev+Lind+Goldobin+2nd+2nd?He’d be perfect with EP.

Panarin-Pettersson-Nylander
Baertschi-Horvat-Boeser

That is a very soft top 6. Who would crash and bang forechecking hard to retrieve the puck? There is a reason why players like Tom Wilson & Zack Hayman are on top lines.

 

[MS]

If by mountains you mean Tanev and/or Juolevi, I agree. Other than that, I’m not sure what VAN could offer? They are not moving Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser and their 1st. What else would do the job?

I'd move any of Juolevi, Gaudette, Lind, Dipietro, 2020 #1 for him without thinking twice and would include several of those in a package. Would hate moving Tanev but would do it.

People won't like this, but I'd also give a lot of thought to a Boeser-Nylander straight across deal. Not sure if I would, but I'd think about it.

Only things off limits would be Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes, and 2019 #1 pick.

 

[Melvin]

I'd move Hughes for Nylander.

 

[Josepho]

I'd move Hughes for Nylander.

If he's persistent about an 8x8 I'm not sure if I would. If he was locked up at 6.5x8 or something I wouldn't even have to think twice.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Wow...some of you would consider moving Boeser or Hughes? That makes little sense imo.

 

[Melvin]

If he's persistent about an 8x8 I'm not sure if I would. If he was locked up at 6.5x8 or something I wouldn't even have to think twice.

This is a fair point, yeah.

I would also strongly consider an offer sheet that loses 1+2+3

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Only things off limits would be Horvat, Pettersson, Hughes, and 2019 #1 pick.

The other thing we could do with the Leafs is help them with their cap situation. I'd take Nathan Horton back in a Nylander deal (owed $5.3M next season, he gets LTIR'd in the season but still limits their offseason flexibility and ability to accumulate cap space during the year).

Not sure I'd take Zaitsev (5 more years at $4.5M) though I could be convinced. Maybe if another bad contract went back the other way...

Something like Tanev, Juolevi, Virtanen for Nylander and Horton? In a freakin heartbeat.

 

[Melvin]

Wow...some of you would consider moving Boeser or Hughes? That makes little sense imo.

As Josepho said it depends on the contract situation so it's hard to say without knowing what he'd sign, but yeah I'd consider both. I'd offer Hughes in a heartbeat under the right contract circumstances. He's a nice prospect but not untouchable in my mind.

 

[Josepho]

He's obviously good but I don't really think Hughes has done anything to really consider himself a standout untouchable prospect.

I've only seen him play once or twice this year but statistically he currently isn't having a +1 year like Boeser or Pettersson did and his P/G pace is basically the same as it was in the second half for Michigan last season. And obviously there's a major risk factor for someone as frail as he is.

Pettersson and an unprotected 2019 1st are the only things I'd definitively say no to in a Nylander trade.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Wow...some of you would consider moving Boeser or Hughes? That makes little sense imo.

Pretty much...you've plugged one leak,and sprung another.

I wouldn't trade either player for Willie Nylander.

 

[Cogburn]

Nylander is going to be too expensive, in dollars, to sign him to a deal he'd accept. He would be awesome with our other high skilled forwards, but his deal would set horrible precedent.

Drouin is the one true path to salvation!

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Pettersson and an unprotected 2019 1st are the only things I'd definitively say no to in a Nylander trade.

So you would trade Bo Horvat straight up for Nylander?

Agreed.

I doubt I would ever consider a prospect who hadn't turned pro to be "untouchable."

 

[Josepho]

So you would trade Bo Horvat straight up for Nylander?

That's a painful one to think about but I'd lean towards no due to contractual reasons.

But if I was Benning and that offer came up I'd most likely lock up all the executives in a room and spend hours debating it 12 Angry Men style.

I wouldn't do that in a million years...Interestingly enough,theres a poll on the main boards Horvat vs Nylander.
