Let’s not overblow a loss to this extent. Leafs are not trading Marner, Nylander or Matthews. Let the cap rise back up and correct the mistake for their next contracts.
Tavares on the other hand I’d be listening in on if I was Dubas
TOR should not trade Matthews or Marner.
Nylander, they should listen to the return and not be close minded IF there was adequate profit.
Tavares came home.
Not good to peddle him off.
Wouldn’t trade Aho for Marner 1-1, same with Hamilton-Reilly.
Only part of this trade I’d consider would be an extended Andersson for a 1st.
better to do return of NYR 2nd for Hulska, who I am discounting in a combo package.
You basically need to get thru the next 20 games and hopefully the playoffs.
Presumably your existing pair can return. Hulska, who is a build piece to compete for the future, is a solid stopgap at worst to buy them time to heal up and get back. At best, you may catch lightning in a bottle.
