Ah...nope.Do Leaf fans want JVR back? Take him for futures at 50% retained!

I don't get Leafs fans obsession with thinking Brown has any significant value. He's a 25 year old winger on pace for 25 points and had 28 points last season. He's not some young prospect with a big upside. He is what he is, a bottom 6 forward. He would essentially have the same role as Raffl early in his career or Read the last 2-3 years. He's a useful player and I would take him on the Flyers for the 3rd line until a younger guy is ready to take that spot and then he could be a 4th liner with the ability to fill in on the top 9 if needed but I'm certainly not entertaining the thought of Simmonds going the other way for that kind of player.This thread is basically ‘the Leafs want your player and we don’t want to give anything valuable to get him’.
Just like all the other Leafs trade proposals, yes.
Don't think the Leafs make a major deal here and Simmonds is a UFA and we would simply not be able to afford him, he would be a rental. Leafs don't need Simmonds scoring, they need his grit and Toronto can find that with a cheaper asset. Look closer to the deadline for a possible addition.
Take out the 1st and Toronto still say no.The problem with the leafs is Kapanen has been in a showcase spot recently with Nylander out so he's projecting very well right now. Given his previous role his numbers will drop again.
The problem for the flyers is simmonds and gudas separately get more unless they can aggregate the plusses into something of value. The flyers are loaded with prospects and the additional depth guys aren't really od interest so dealing them together may get what they want.
Simmonds + Gudaa for Nylander + 1st
This thread is basically ‘the Leafs want your player and we don’t want to give anything valuable to get him’.

And the original trade suggested by a Flyers fan was:
Simmonds (50 games this year plus the playoffs, then he will be a UFA who will command more than the Leafs can afford
For
Kapanen (a 22 year old already far out pacing Simmonds point totals, who will be an RFA and remains under team control for another 5 more years)
Brown (a decent swiss army knife type player on a reasonable contract for another year after which he will still be an RFA)
1st round in 2019
3rd round pick in 2019
I think that Flyers fans need to be much more realistic.
Late 1st to add grit and more depth?? I would be on board with. Leafs can afford to move the 1st for the first time in years to make the team more of a contender.
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Kapanen - Matthews - Nylander

Conditional 1st(Leafs win the cup in 2019)
This has prob been asked in here before, but really don’t want to read through 8 pages...
Simmonds (ext) for Nyl, picks/prospects worked out wherever needed. How would you guys go about it assuming it would be a good fit. I feel like it would benefit both teams well
Simmonds for Nylander? Why would Toronto do that?This has prob been asked in here before, but really don’t want to read through 8 pages...

I"ll do the Gudas trade. No way i touch that Simmonds one.Kapanen, Sandin, 1st 2019 for Simmonds. Gudas for 2nd 2019, 2nd 2020
I just read Kapanen+Sandin+1st for UFA Simmonds....while there are bad proposals from Leafs fans...it's going both ways.Reminds himself to stay out of Leafs proposal threads. Terrible proposals.
I wouldn’t trade Kap for Simmonds straight up.What about?
Simmonds
For
Kapanen
Brown
1st round in 2019
3rd round pick in 2019
I think thats fair
Toronto fans think the rest of the league is their farm team. More so than any other fan base here's how it goes...
Toronto fan posts a lopsided trade asking for value in return for futures and spare parts.....3rd and 4th line types... LOL then a decent majority of their fanbase says that's even too much...Wild stuff, truly.
Yeah it’s so nuts that we don’t want to give up serious assets for a 30 year old right winger on an expiring contract on pace for 40 points. What a bunch of *******s we are.
I will say again, if a team steps up and pays a package like Kapanen+Sandin+1st fir Simmonds...more power to them, i hope it's not Toronto. If the Leafs are to overpay (slightly) for a player mentioned in this thread, Gudas would be the one as D is actually a needed upgrade, and Gardiner may be moved if they know they are not re-signing him (although i doubt it).Great job at trying to deflect. I'll play along, we BOTH have Amnesia Gudas (on a good contract) wasn't part of the original conversation.
Even if Gudas wasn't part of it, power forwards on expiring contracts, mid level defenseman (or even one that hasn't played all year) go for quality assets all the time at the deadline for teams seeking a Stanley Cup, they pay a premium. If you don't like the cost get out of the game, someone else will pay ..
