Speculation: Chris Johnston: NJ, Canes, Rangers, Tampa All Sending Two Scouts To Leafs-Pens Game

[Kupo]

Scouts are scouting....?! OMG Something is definitely going on!

 

[CapnZin]

Wow... I guess this means

Hamilton, Skeji, Hedman, and Severson

Are all heading to Toronto for

Nylander, Gardner, and some prospect that’s completely overhyped.

I've been told I'm premature in other aspects of life to...if you know what I mean.

My uninformed, uneducated guess would be the Leafs are testing the market for Kadri.

Guessing Nylander wants a path to play some C before committing long term, and that isn't gonna happen with how the roster is set up right now.

I think it could just as easily be Gardiner.

Maybe. But then Toronto has even more issues on D.

Like I said, it's just a wild ass guess, but moving Kadri for D and then signing Nylander seems like the best/easiest move for the Leafs.

I don't know that Gardiner improves their D a whole lot. They could want a more stay-at-home guy coming the other way. And, if I'm not mistaken, there's a guy or two they could promote from within.

Maatta Sprong and 1st for Billy Nye

So this is the same as any other night

Must be the Pens, Leafs wouldn't have much interest.

I think the leafs are all over Faulk. It just makes sense.

In what way? Faulk is garbage defensively and they don't have any room on either PP.

From the teams who were reported to be there, what kind of return do you think is possible?

Part of Tavares signing with the Leafs was the promise that he wouldn’t be forcing them to subtract from what they’ve built.

Kadri is a pretty integral part of the Leafs’ forward group.

Can’t imagine that keeping Tavares happy. And if you break you promise to Tavares, your word is worth nothing so kiss Nylander signing with you goodbye, and probably Matthews/Marner too. At least not at “discounts” so the team can stay “competitive”.

Not as much the same with Gardiner, just because he is UFA at season’s end and they have some prospective LHD available in the system. Although again, it’s probably not ideal.
