LOL!
Why would they trade a top 20 Dman in the league for Nylander? He's dreaming!
Agreed. Nylander's value is far less than Jone's.

It depends on how he's envisioned slotting into their line up. Their second line isn't set in stone and if he's being promised the opportunity to play with Auston Matthews on a short term deal, it seems like a good opportunity to put up a solid season, cash in and resign with us or another Team in the future. From the Leafs perspective a short term low cap hit deal makes sense as well.They're going to be strapped financially next season. Heck, even playing with Kadri isn't that bad.
nylander after July 1stNylander has a unique contract value. Half his contract has been paid in bonuses. He would be an amazing grab for say Arizona. Anyone under the cap for that matter. He is prime beef.
Nylander at 3.5 million a year is incredible value. He might be the most tradeable guy on the team because of that feature.
That you hope has the start to his career that Nylander has...nylander after July 1st
worth a high first rounder
Playing with Matthews, he’ll lead the league in off season goals by a right winger.
This opens up a Nylander trade to CBJ for Seth Jones
Very sarcastic.....Just wondering if this Nylander for Seth Jones post is sarcastic. Sometimes forum posts are lost in translation.
Very sarcastic.....
LOL we signed Matt MartinThis can't be true he's 6'2 not 5'7 we don't sign players that are over 5'10.
he likes stars! he love to coach 20 ALL STARS and still take no blameLOL. Babcock doesn't dislike Russians/Europeans... He raves about guys like Datsyuk and Zetterberg and Lindstrom...
Also, decisions isn't made... Leafs aren't the garunteed destination for this player.

I'm excited but as others have pointed out, I'm not sure if the signing would gel with Babcock. Dubas appears to be interested in yet another skilled free agent while Babcock continues to favor truculence and intangibles. Hopefully we manage to get it done and he's our Panarin. With the Leafs luck, it'll be another Zaitsev or Jonas Gustavsson type situation though.
Nylander is super talented but man, with his effort on the ice, he makes it hard to cheer for him. He is such a mercurial guy with is effort and consistency.
Jones is not the guy I would want in a Nylander trade, Salvin or Parayko have been the 2 guys that have been #1A and #1B on my trade list for a year. If we have to add that is fine with me.
I know you're being facetious, but the Leafs aren't actually that small of a team. They're a bit soft, but not small.This can't be true he's 6'2 not 5'7 we don't sign players that are over 5'10.
OK they played like a small team weak and feeble did you watch the Columbus Boston game that’s how you play hockey it’s the playoffsI know you're being facetious, but the Leafs aren't actually that small of a team. They're a bit soft, but not small.

Losing Matt Martin was bad... Imo. A real smart bruiser. Loved by Marner etc.... I think dumping him was a dumb move.
At this point it isn't "losing Ennis", as it wasn't ever likely to be a long-term thing. He came here to build value and prove his worth on a cheap deal. He showed he can still play, and will be rewarded for it.I disagree on Martin's value, but even if I didn't we simply can't afford much more than minimum salaries/ELC's for our 4th line going forward.
What will suck is we'll probably lose Ennis and I thought he was great there.

Hate to add to a great point but also he would be worth a draft pick if the team sputtered. Win win situation except repeats with different level of success.At this point it isn't "losing Ennis", as it wasn't ever likely to be a long-term thing.
