Rumor: Kyle Dubas travels to to NYC to take in the flames vs rangers game. Why?

[TopCheese]

My guess is he is considering making a move for a rangers dman. Would love to get Skjei on our team. Mcquaid also a good option. Who else could he be scouting?

He was shown numerous times in the broadcast.

McQuaid makes sense. Really he’s just blocking DeAngelo from getting ice time. Long shot he’s scouting Shattenkirk?

That assumes readers have watched the game. Op should have mentioned that.

Shattenkirk is a great player but not what we need. We already have 2 great offensive dman but desparately need a hard nosed stay at home type dman

you got a youtube link or anything?

nylander/andersen for lundqvist(assuming he waives nmc)

You just described McQuaid.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Maybe he’s scouting a Flames defenseman? Hamonic?

nylander/andersen for lundqvist(assuming he waives ntc)

Honestly, that's a fantastic trade. I don't know if the difference between Andersen and Lundqvist is Nylander though.

Was thinking more along the lines of andersen/ nylander for reimer

Honestly, that's a fantastic trade. I don't know if the difference between Andersen and Lundqvist is Nylander though.

The rest can be sorted with picks I guess. In 3 years Lundqvist,marleau cap hit is removed by Toronto and then they can afford to pay Matthews and Marner a bit easier. Rather than what Nylander wants beyond 3 years from now.

doubt it. Calgary has playoff aspirations and a weak bottom pairing with no one to effectively fill hamonics spot

 

[flamesforcup]

Maybe he’s scouting a Flames defenseman? Hamonic?

He wasn't playing today as he is injured

 

[Snakepit]

Maybe he’s scouting a Flames defenseman? Hamonic?

Hamonic is injured.

Only Flames D I could see moved are Stone and Brodie, but I don't see it happening with 2 rookies already in the lineup

and no starting goalie and nothing to show for nylander and anderson. That would be a very unneccesary trade for the leafs. Andersen is a great goalie and on a terrific contract. No point upgrading him very slightly at the cost of losing nylander

 

[Tonystretcher]

Hamonic is out with a broken jaw. Wasn’t playing

 

[Il Mediano]

Yeah...no.

Nylander+Andersen for Lundqvist is crazy.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Assume it would be contract+3rd for McQuaid.

 

[93LEAFS]

Seriously wondering, with all these posts over the years of NHL executives being seen at other arenas how many have actually followed with a substantial move?

Leafs aren't trading Andersen+ for Lundqvist. We aren't putting significant assets in the way of cap-space and assets into a soon to be 37-year-old goalie making 8.5m a year.

Exactly, keeping Nylander in Europe that wont sign obviously is better for TML.

Honestly tho I believe TML is scouting Skjei and that scares me.

 

[solidprospect]

Skjei could be a good add for any team.

 

[Dijock94]

I don’t want to believe the Nylander rumors but it does seem like a big coincidence.

1. Nylander / Zuccarello rumor
2. Dubas to Europe to see Nylander
3. Dubas personally scouting the Rangers

There is definitely some smoke here.
