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

[Tonystretcher]

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

Stone would make sense if Andersson proves he is ready, but that would only happen once hamonic is healthy

 

[Leaf Fans]

Maybe he had a meeting with Nylander's agent and stayed to see a hockey game?

 

[Nylanderthal]

Kreider + Lias Andersson for Nylander + what? Kreider checks a lot of boxes for the Leafs on the ice (skilled winger with some grit, but not a pylon) and he is signed to a reasonable aav through the 19-20 crunch of re signing matthews Marner Gardiner while having marleau still on the payroll. Andersson makes up the age gap difference. Not really interested in McQuaid, Oz brings that bottom pairing snarl and doesn’t handle the puck like a live grenade.
Rangers fans, what’s the add from Toronto for a Nylander <-> Kreider + Andersson deal?

 

[Il Mediano]

Skjei is great , but he's a LHD ... it just doesn't fit.

Toronto need a quality RHD , badly. If they move Nylander (which I doubt) it's going to be for a position of need.

You don't deal young elite talents for anything less.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

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

McQuaid I hope

I’m not sure the Rangers are going to move Andersson

Edit: should’ve elaborated, pretty sure Andersson is already one of the cornerstones of our rebuild.

The most likely scenario, but where's the fun in that?

 

[Dijock94]

McQuaid I hope

Makes sense. Cheap cap hit and doesn’t cost a ton. Probably a 3rd round pick or a meh prospect.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

nylander/andersen for lundqvist(assuming he waives nmc)

Oh my god that would actually be a really smart trade by Toronto. That offense with Lundqvist in the pipes would be really scary.

 

[Jayan]

Zuc + 3rd for Nylander

 

[Nylanderthal]

Well no Kreider and no Andersson means no Nylander... there really isn’t anything else there that would help us and make sense.
Nylander is already what you hope Andersson becomes and I would think that Kreider doesn’t fit into their long term plans if a rebuild is coming

 

[Leaf Fans]

True, they could be finalizing a deal as we speak.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Gross, this is so bad.... you should feel bad.

Yea well if there is a trade brewing it could be for McQuaid or Shattenkirk or something.

No interest in adding cap in net and the gap between hank and Freddie surely isn’t Nylander

 

[Bounces R Way]

Michael Stone your ears are burning.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Shatty doesn’t fill a need, McQuaid either really. Zaitsev and Oz are fine bottom 4 d men, what TML needs is a top 2 RHD

 

[Jayan]

Gross, this is so bad.... you should feel bad.

This would honestly be great for TML I’f their cup window is now.

Zucc on the wing is better than a Willy in Europe

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Lundy can steal you a series. Freddie can’t. That’s worth a whole lot.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

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

...Andersen is better than Lundqvist at this point in his Lundy's career.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

NYR was scouting Toronto the other day. Doubt this involves Nylander.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Lundy can steal you a series. Freddie can’t. That’s worth a whole lot.

Are the rags retaining 50% of Lundy’s deal? Better yet are they paying assets to a third team to retain another 50%? Ala brassard to Pitts via vgk? That’s how far off it is, even then.

 

[BeLeafing]

NYR was scouting Toronto the other day. Doubt this involves Nylander.

Could very well not be Nylander, but it is possible the Rangers were just scouting extra pieces that could be part of the Nylander deal. So you can't rule out Willy being involved.

 

[Il Mediano]

This .

Why would we give up a really good goalie in his prime + an elite young talent for a couple years of an expensive old goalie?

Is Lundqvist better than Andersen? It could be argued.

Does this deal make any sense at all? Hell no.
