Proposal: Monster LEAFS trade Nylander/Freddie Andersen to Calgary

[Sidney the Kidney]

I wouldnt do that for Nylander alone, let alone adding in Fred.

Come on, now. I agree it makes no sense for the Leafs to deal Andersen, but the above statement smacks of homerism to the highest degree.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

lol "take all my trash"

I can't tell which side/team you're referring to.

 

[BleedBlue14]

Too much clutter in this trade as a whole tbh. Just way too many moving pieces.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Is the Gap between Andersen and Rittich that big? Honestly...

Andersen is at least a proven starter.

 

[Lupuls Grit]

Leafs trade Nylander, CECI, Barrie, Petan, and Freddie Andersen to Calgary for

Elias Lindholm, Hamonic, Derek Ryan, David Rittich, Michal Frolik, and Rasmus Andersson.

Discussing trade hypotheticals can be a fun and interesting way to get more out of a long regular season. But why bother even proposing something like this when trades of this nature simply never happen and there is absolutely no reason why it would happen in this case? I'd much rather see another Tanev to Toronto thread than this...

 

[Dr Pepper]

Banking their season's hopes on a rookie coach and David Rittich in net?

Not sure if that's the best move for Toronto.

 

[Morgs]

Nylander for Lindholm and RA is arguably the exact trade the Leafs need to make. Would be a brutal overpay for Calgary though

Nope, nice try though.

Nah, just no reason to give up the best player in the deal on a great contract.

 

[CDN24]

Flames say no. The last time they made a 10+ player trade with the leafs it ended badly real badly. Memories are too fresh, its only been a bit less than 28 years since the trade. Maybe in after 40 years it might happen.

 

[JT Kreider]

Nope, nice try though.

Rasmus Andersson would be an incredible get for TO, all for the price of a slight downgrade offensively from Nylander to Lindholm, but who would also immediately become your best two way defensive forward. Kills two birds with one stone.

I'm well aware of both players, as well as being a huge RA fan.

But this aint it chief, Nylander isnt going anywhere.

They'll really let just about anybody on the internet these days.

 

[Daeni10]

I thought you are only allowed to trade 5 pieces at once in NHL 20?

 

[Mick Jagr]

Ah so the Leafs will trade one of the best goalies in the league with one of the best cap friendly contracts in the league.... and get what exactly back in common? Not even another goalie? Have you SEEN Toronto's goaltending depth?!

 

[viper0220]

Leafs trade Nylander, CECI, Barrie, Petan, and Freddie Andersen to Calgary for

Elias Lindholm, Hamonic, Derek Ryan, David Rittich, Michal Frolik, and Rasmus Andersson.

Why do the Leafs do this? This bad for both teams.

 

[Coffey]

Flames/Leafs trade suggestion?

... ?

David Rittich plays goalie. He has the same amount of wins as Andersen and (slightly) better SV% and GAA numbers. He makes just over half as much as Andersen for this year and next.

 

[Oilforthecup]

This proposal seems to be missing something......oh I know, maybe another 4 or 5 players from each team ;P.

 

[Matthews4Calder]

Is the Gap between Andersen and Rittich that big? Honestly...

Yes. Andersen has been the teams MVP the last 3 years. Without him we probably don't make the playoffs. Have I been happy with his playoffs? Not really.
Thing you have to consider is the Leafs play without the puck and team defence is horrid. Throw Rittich on the Leafs last 3 years and see what happens to his numbers.

 

[Paul4587]

That’s horrific.

 

[Dubcity]

Remove the junk/ end of season UFA's and look

William Nylander, Fredrik Andersen

Elias Lindholm, Derek Ryan, David Rittich, Rasmus Andersson.

Can speak on behalf of all flames fans we do not even remotely consider this

Did Rittich change positions in the past 24 hours or something?

 

[LeafsLegendAkiBerg]

Please add more players to the proposal. Then I could get behind it.

The entire Flames roster for the entire Leafs roster. Let's do it.

 

[CraigsList]

Congrats, a trade proposal that is garbage for both teams.

 

[The S5]

Considering Lindholm has been the better player, that doesn't make much sense.
