Friedman: Leafs "All in" for best forward they can get.

[drktmplr12]

friedman i don't think all-in means what you think it means.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Yes, I see your poinrm poor reading comprehension. -ooops.

 

[GrizzGreen]

better players have gone through waivers

Just not even remotely accurate, come on man.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

1st and Tim Liljegren for Miles Wood.. Marner Mathews Wood. Sandpapper physical fast and pesty woood

I wouldn't give up one of those assets meanwhile two.

 

[Flameshomer]

WHAT THE *&@#! HAHAHAHAHA

Turn Toronto into a megazword to ensure they are the ones to come out of Canada lol. They probably will be anyways, but this would sup them up even more.

 

[KevinRedkey]

Savard and Jenner is what they need more than a top-end winger IMO.

Jenner is out for the season

Right now on April 8 2021 the Leafs are #!1 in points in the NHL, the result of the Carolina VS Florida game will either see Carolina tie them or Florida pull 1 point ahead, or potentially both tie them if Florida gets 1 point.

Regardless of the result the Leafs are a top 3 team in the league right now.

If now isn't the time to go for it when is?

So if they were to win the cup this year that would be better than multiple years contending for potentially more than one cup? I mean I get it A lot of teams do it I just think it's a bad decision.

 

[AvroArrow]

What about Matthew Tkachuk for the Leafs? I think he'd be the perfect fit for your roster. Gaudreau/Monahan aren't the right types for the Leafs, but Tkachuk would be perfect. I'd be looking for Nylander, 1st and Amirov back.

Hate Tkachuk, and for that price LOL fat no.

 

[Mats13]

It is for me. Nylander is a perimeter player. A poor man's Gaudreau. He's a good offensive player, but Tkachuk is unique. A 2-way power forward and pest who can score 30 goals. Name me another player in the league like that.

Flat out lie

He led the league in goals from the slot (“dirty areas”) last year and he scores most of his goals in tight

You can keep Tkachuk it’s okay he’s clearly very good in your eyes so idk why you’re even looking to move him

LOL. Yes Nylander is a gritty power forward. My mistake...

It's been 50+ years go get the cup

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

The valuation of Leaf players is a bit ridiculous in this thread. Hyman a 30 goal scorer and Nylander isn't a perimeter player. Hyman is a product of the players he plays with. He's a gritty 10-15 goal bottom 6 player. Chiasson scored 25 goals playing with McDavid. Hyman had 10 goals in the season he didn't play with a top 10 player. Nylander benefits from playing with elite players too. Put Gaudreau with Tavares or Matthews and he's well over a PPG every season.

Chiasson got boatloads of PP time, unlike Hyman.

Nylander has a role to carry the puck in and buy time for his line mates to set up for possession. In that time he is on the perimeter and he’s damn good at it. Once set up you can find him in the slot though.

 

[exporta]

Hate Tkachuk, and for that price LOL fat no.

I would move Nylander for Tkachuk, and probably even throw in 2021 1st, ask for a 3rd back, and down grade the prospect in the next bracket (B+ prospect).

If Im calgary that's the ask, but i think there is some good logic, but at this point id prefer to see what we have in Amirov.

 

[cyris]

LOL. Yes Nylander is a gritty power forward. My mistake...

No one is saying he is. But you don’t lead the league in goals from around the net if you are a perimeter player. There is a middle ground

 

[Marshy]

Who is this year's John Druce....Chris Kontos....Lonny Bohonos?

Get that guy....will come cheap too.

 

[HabsAddict]

Montreal trades to Toronto a 2nd for Kerfoot.

Then......

Montreal trades to Toronto Kerfoot for a 1st

Right there and then, Kerfoot finally get's traded....and Toronto gets back an 11 goal scoring forward for a lousy low 1st.

Time is runing out! Let's get it done!

 

[al secord]

LOL. Yes Nylander is a gritty power forward. My mistake...

I think your mistake was not knowing exactly what a perimeter player is.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Nice names....I'll add a Randy McKay.

 

[Mats13]

Yes because there’s nothing between a perimeter player and a gritty power forward.

You seem really bright.

 

[Chabot84]

Toronto starting to look like an All Star team

they have done a good job building this love the spezza and Thornton additions

 

[Chabot84]

RNH + James Neal

for

1st and expiring cap dumps

Leafs don't really have cap dumps to get rid of . Not what they need either. Doubt Oilers deal Nuge given their likely playoff birth

 

[2022 Stanley Cup]

I think we do need to go after a 7th D for insurance just incase.

I'm for this I just don't think we need to do anything to improve our top 6. Assuming the Leafs don't believe that Liljegren is ready for that role of course.

its the main boards...theres absolutely no middle ground

kindly gtfo with that sanity
