Value of: If Toronto Signs Tavares

[blinkman360]

I'm sorry, but I just don't see Tavares signing anywhere to be the 2C. Much less to play under that microscope...who knows though, maybe he'll surprise me.

The team I'm most worried about though is San Jose.

6 out of 9 responses are so far useless.

I imagine it would start with a signed OEL and some futures.

Correct, but we’re dealing with the classic Toronto fans that never read the whole OP.

Does that make Matthews expandable?

If the Leafs sign Tavares, then yes that makes Matthews expandable.

Matthews will get so upset at Tavares that he will eat all the hotdogs Kessel left in storage at the ACC, causing him to expand in size.

Does that make Matthews expandable? I get Matthews don’t grow on trees, but that’s a lot of money tied up in two 1c’s.

With the cap and money in mind and the future signings of Nylander and Marner what would Arizona need to offer to satisfy a trade?

Hayton
Crouse/Dvorak

This is also clearly hypothetical, so no need with the he’s not available bs. What’s it take from Arizona?

There's enough money to go around. So long as they don't get stupid.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Not a chance in hell, Kadri would be expendable, but we probably end up keeping him too unless we run into cap issues down the road.

Kadri is not expendable.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Just because your GM drafted Hayton 5th overall doesn't make him a valuable piece.

If we land Tavares, I would make Nylander available for a defenseman.

I would look at something like Parayko for Nylander as the basis of a deal if St. Louis had interest in Nylander as a centre.

Matthews would be the last player to become expendable if we acquire Tavares.

 

[TorontoTrades]

If anyone is available it would be Nylander. I don't think they MUST move somebody to fit Nylander but it would give you the freedom to balance out the DCore with the forwards.

 

[7even]

Don't think there's a deal to be made. Toronto is clearly trying to win sooner rather than later, and although the Yotes have some quality future pieces, it doesn't line up with what the Leafs are trying to do.

Meh, it would be #1A/#1B. That was also Kadri/Matthews deployment last year. People get too caught up in designations sometimes.

 

[Jozay]

No lol

Leafs would trade anyone else before Matthews.

 

[AvatarAang]

No lol

Leafs would trade anyone else before Matthews.

Tavares could sign on July 1st and there would still be better odds the Leafs trade him over Matthews.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Basically this.

Whoever gives the best defense value for Nylander or Kadri that fits the Leafs needs I think is the direction they would go.

They'd probably prefer to move Kadri, but Nylander may give them a better return.

Its close. Kadri is better for win now while nylander is better for long term. I would hate to lose either of them.

Not a chance in hell. The starts with OEL and goes from there.

 

[member 300185]

No it does not if they sign Tavares they run this

Hyman Matthews Nylander

Kapanen Tavares Marner

Marleau Kadri Brown/ Johnsson

Johnsson should replace Hyman on the first line. He does the same thing that Hyman does.....except with a lot more skill.

 

[Liferleafer]

Correct, but we’re dealing with the classic Toronto fans that never read the whole OP.

Once you ask if Matthews is expendable, whatever is written past that is nothing but fluff...the answer is a swift no. You see saying something like "no need for the he's not available posts...what's it take from Arizona?" doesn't change the fact that in no way does Matthews become available....there's no other answer.

You also must have missed the hypothetical part. It’ll be fun when Matthews gives Toronto the middle finger and leaves on his own accord.

right. How many stars players have done this exactly? Leafs would just trade him before this happens. If this was the NBA I'd honestly be a bit worried about it since player movement in that league is much more exciting than the NHL, here most players don't "rock the boat" per say. Even if he only signs for 5 years next summer he can still re-up long term. Value right now is Keller + 2019 1st + something else. I don't care if that's a high price, it's what you pay for right now a top 5 asset in the league.

 

[Brobust]

I forgot this rule that teams are only allowed to have one star centre.

Does that only apply to the leafs?

 

[Liferleafer]

It will also be fun when Stamkos and Tavares both sign in their hometown of Toronto....oh wait.

This site locks any "hypothetical" McDavid thread, the same should be done for Eichel and Matthews. And honestly, even in your hypothetical fantasy world....you think the offer in the OP is close?

What would Toronto add? I think Nylander's value goes down a bit if he's traded because of a signed Tavares.

how does a signed tavares make nylander's value go down?

 

[Liferleafer]

WTF? How does signing Tavares affect Nylander's value?

 

[zharkenby]

We really need another thread about JT and the leafs ? Lol The answer to your question is obviously no

 

[exporta]

Why would his value decrease because we added a player. By no means do we have to deal him, it's just easier for us to.
