Sportsnet: Brian Burke- “It’s time for William Nylander to move”

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Let's say hypothetically the leafs decide to trade a guy like Marner.
Which Young #1 Defender would be potentially involved in a deal for him?

Werenski, I would think. 1 for 1.

Teams that have cap room & don't need to sign young players, so that would rule Minnesota out

Minnesota would absolutely be involved in that conversation as well

Don't see that happening. Young number 1 D are not traded.

 

[majormajor]

Werenski, I would think. 1 for 1.

The Jackets probably would have done that a year ago, but now I don't see it, maybe not even if the Leafs eat a ton of salary. There's a $6m difference in salary. Marner is paid as much as Werenski and Jones are combined!

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

They should have traded him a while ago and kept Kadri. That Barrie for Kadri trade was moronic.

yep

 

[themelkman]

Sharks would love it, dont see how it works though. Probably Minnesota

 

[majormajor]

Nylander showed a lot more grit this year than he did a year ago. He's not overpaid. It was him jamming the net that started the game four comeback. I think moving Marner would make more sense, if you can unload his whole salary. That gives them enough room for Pietrangelo. Can you imagine Dubas actually landing a piece that suits the Leafs needs? Weird right?

 

[Viqsi]

Werenski, I would think. 1 for 1.

Nope. That top pairing just carried this team; we're not giving it up.

I honestly can’t think of anyone in the league who would be able to absorb that entire salary without sending most of it back, never mind paying big assets for the privilege to do so.

 

[KingsFan7824]

If there's one place Doughty might agree to go to, it would be Toronto. Come on Leafs, you know ya wanna. Just like you wanted JT. It's in your blood.

 

[hamzarocks]

Manson + Rakell for nylander as a base.


Rakell is pretty similar production for half the price, and Manson should be an ideal partner for rielly... I suppose if they wanted the cap space and a power forward something around Manson + comtois Could be worked

If dubas had any desire to win hed make this trade and tell whoever's the ducks GM is (sorry I want to say Murray but dont know if hes still employed) thank you. Nylander for those two pieces fixes a lot of the issues with the leafs. All we would need to do is trade marner after and get Pietrangelo (pipedream most likely hopefully and the rot within the core is gone and we have the defense to beat any team. Oh and get rid of Andersen for the love of God.

 

[McJedi]

Avs fan here. Would love to add Marner, but that AAV demands players going back the other way. Which makes it a quantity for quality trade TML probably shouldn’t accept. Avs don’t have a contract to trade back. Wish we did but no fit unfortunately. I think Marner stays for several more years.

In hindsight, Toronto should have traded for EJ instead of Barrie. Johnson probably has Toronto on his limited no trade list but he’d have been the better fit.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Manson + Rakell for nylander as a base.


Rakell is pretty similar production for half the price, and Manson should be an ideal partner for rielly... I suppose if they wanted the cap space and a power forward something around Manson + comtois Could be worked

I would do this with 25% retention on Rakell to even the salary in-out.

 

[Romang67]

I'd definitely take him as our #2C.

We can offer absolutely nothing that the Leafs might need. Take it or leave it.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Let's say hypothetically the leafs decide to trade a guy like Marner.

Teams don’t trade young #1 defenders.

 

[HaNotsri]

Why do Minnesota fans seem to want to dump dumba?

He's not looked good the few games I've seen. A case of selling high?

 

[StreetHawk]

Teams don’t trade young #1 defenders.

Unless it’s for a C. Doubt Nashville would have moved Jones for Marner.

Always been more difficult to find good Top pairing D than good wingers. Great C can work with lower level wingers.

I am laying claim to being the first person in site history to use a screenshot of my own tv’s closed captions as the “confirmed with link” type proof for the premise of my thread.

 

[Archijerej]

The Leafs are really looking for advice from Brian Burke regarding trades?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Manson + Rakell for nylander as a base.

This would be the top of my list for a nylander trade right beside a trade for brodin.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Wild wanting to trade a stud like dumba is lunacy, unless a #1 Center is involved somehow

Dumba isnt a stud 1d not yet anyway and I'd much prefer brodin.

 

[KaprizovEntitlelist]

Dumba isnt a stud 1d not yet anyway and I'd much prefer brodin.

Again wild aren't trading Brodin for Nylander or any other wingers.

Only way wild trade Brodin is for 1 or 2c. Brodin is really good & will take over for suter in 1 -2 yeard

 

[Kingsfan1]

If Marner was available I’d trade anyone and anything on the Kings for him besides Doughty . Multiple pieces involved young players on ELC’s etc etc ... However i doubt Marner gets traded because he is going to be one of the best players in the NHL for the next decade plus .

However if Nylander is available which he might be now idk but what would it take from a Kings perspective to get it done ?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

If I had brodin I would hesitate to trade him as well. Also nylander plays c very well but if he's not the center you want that's fine we will have to shop him elsewhere.
