Continued rumors of two teams talking with leafs interested in Ghost and Flyers interested in Kapanen and lesser extent Nylander.

Total speculation talk but what does everything think of this


Kapanen for Ghost
??????

We need to find a defenseman somewhere else to fill a hole in our top 6

Do ask for Gardiner thrown in for a pick and see what his asking price is?

Just curious what everyones thoughts are!!!

Kapanen for Ghost is abysmal. Nylander for Ghost is meh at best.

Not adding a pick for someone the Leafs cant sign and is guaranteed to hit UFA. Definitely not paying UFA prices for a LHD when were already deep there.

Setting aside value for the moment, defense is where we are weakest and wing is where we are strongest. We would be paying from weakness to add to a strength.

Nylander would fill a 2C hole, but then we also get into Ghost's value on the backend and his contract and I just don't see it being a deal either team wants to make.

Ghost >> Kapanen.
Ghost for Nylander would be interesting, but Flyers would then have to deal for a defenseman.
But with Couts - Nylander - Patrick, Frost would become trade bait.

Of course, the Flyers could just stay put.

You can’t be entertaining trading frost?

But regarding the op, definitely can’t be weakening the d without something already done. Whether it’s a move for trouba, spurgeon, whomever or signing a free agent, we simply cannot afford to move ghost.

Nylander and ghost is one conversation kapanen and gudas is another. Leafs fans seem to be suffering from the same effect has fans did a few years back with price and halak two very different value players

I would never do ghost for Kapanen. Ghost prob outscores Kapanen next year himself as a cheap Dman.

I would do Ghost for Nylander + something if we signed EK.
