This won't go over well

 

[Viqsi]

No, no, no, no way, nuh-uh, absolutely not, no, not a chance in hell, never, no, nyet, nein, NO.

We don't trade those two players for anything sort of an elite superstar C.

and if the followup involves asking about Jones I swear to G-d Almighty I will hunt you down and make you pay

 

[Captain Mountain]

I think both fanbases say **** no.

Very probably. I'm not as clear as to the objections from the TML perspective, but I imagine they start with "we already have Tavares and Matthews; we don't need to pay for another top center".

Matthews and Sandin for Jones and PLD

[Empoleon8771]

Why do people on this site make posts like these? Honestly, like it's so obvious that Jackets fans are going to say no to that.

Leafs would have to add.

Matthews + Sandin + Nylander

for

Jones + PLD

No, no, let's not even go there. The answer to every Jones proposal is no, and trying to toss in more Leafs assets is only going to cause more agitation. Let it be.

If I'm arguing the Leafs POV:

-Dubois is an utter waste on the team.
-Nylander is younger and better than Anderson.
-Toronto needs prospects to play roles on cheap contracts in the next 4-5 years.

No one is forcing you to be here. If you’re not a fan of the discussion, this tab can be closed.

#1 and #3 make sense to me, and they're more than enough to kill the concept. #2, tho... we've had folks inquiring about Anderson for quite some time due to his play style. If it was Nylander for Anderson straight up, yep, that's a valid argument (and it'd probably still be a "both sides say no" situation, 'cause we really like Anderson's skillset and there's a lot of ambivalence w/r/t Nylander because of last year). But I think in the OP's funny little world Nylander mostly pays for PLD or something.

I wasn't talking about Jackets fan agitation. I was talking about Leafs fan agitation by trying to give away even more assets that they do not need nor want to lose.

 

[TheDoldrums]

hf: leafs have no depth

also hf: let's keep trying to package nylander with a bunch of quality pieces

 

[Kamiccolo]

Have interest in Anderson but no need for Dubois here. Let's be honest, a realistic proposal is probably more like Anderson + Savard for Marner (+) but Marner's contract makes it more complicated than before.

But at least they get a 22 year old Panarin replacement.

 

[SotasicA]

PLD for Matthews would do. Josh Anderson to make up the difference, if necessary.

Man marner is gonna make these posts look like a joke very soon.

Marner for a number 4 defender who getting up their in age and a 2nd line forward with less than 50 points as a career high is a deal that gets dubas fired.

 

[Dumais]

Really wish they would keep these ideas to themselves. CBJ needs a center, I highly doubt they will give up their only top6 center for a top6 winger.

I am aware. That trade is a win for the blue jackets.. It's more about a statement than anything. He didn't want to go there via an offersheet, demanded a big pay day, and then thinks he can coast into the playoffs.

Send him away, fill some needs, save a bit of cap space in the process. Maybe we can get one of their goalies included in that deal as well.

I dunno; I kind of object on some level to my team being treated as a punishment detail. Even if we do continue to employ Torts and all.

 

[majormajor]

I wouldn't trade Dubois OR Anderson for that package.

 

[Cogburn]

So that's what Marner is short for. Huh, the more you know.

After watching Marner hand the victory to the Jackets last game, I'm suddenly not interested in such a deal.

On the other hand, he's proven he can win us games, so maybe it's worth considering.

(no, seriously, I'd love to have him; I just worry about that contract and his prior unwillingness to take an offer sheet here)
