Speculation: Nylander V - The Management Strikes Back (ALL Nylander Discussion HERE)

[Brock Radunske]

Huge overpay by the Leafs. Really easy No.

 

[Martin Skoula]

Would rather take an offer sheet. The 1st alone is probably more valuable than that package. I like Valimaki but Bennet would be a 4th liner with little hope of moving up and Stone would be in a fight for #6/7 D.

Offer sheet gives us cap space to make a move at the deadline and the picks to do it.

 

[Volica]

Valimaki is untouchable in Calgary.

 

[CBJFan827]

I support @Viqsi 's points.

Further, trading our superstar LW and our next best option for a scoring forward prospect who has had success playing every forward position and getting yet another RW back is a hard premise for me to accept. Right now there is really only one RW that comes up in any conversations that I would want us to acquire (Mark Stone).

We need playmakers on the left side--subtracting Panarin just exacerbates that issue further.

 

[Advanced stats]

Toronto would rather add to Willy to get a better, more proven D prospect.

This is of course assuming they want to trade Nylander, which is not the case.

 

[ManofSteel55]

The Leafs don't need to trade Nylander for a package, if they do consider moving him, they need to package him up to get an upgrade on the blueline if they can find it.

 

[ER89]

HELL NO

 

[Viqsi]

Wow, I didn't see the OP adjustment. Throwing in Abramov makes this a complete non-starter for the Jackets; we have less than zero motivation to trade him for anything at all.

 

[ER89]

wtf no.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

If Panarin was re-signed I’d probably do this

 

[DRW204]

If the Leafs were a rebuilding/retooling team, id expect a return similar to ROR to BUF. Top 40ish pick (BUF knew they had the 31st pick in the draft at the time of the trade), good/young up and coming Dman (Zadorov) and another promising prospect (which Compher was at the time). Probably a bit higher quality of pieces since Nylander is younger and has a bit more potential upward trajectory compared to ROR when he was dealt at aged 24.

However, the Leafs are a 'win now' team and probably wants a player that helps them immediately. I dont futures are as appealing to them atm

This deal probably falls more in-line with a "futures" package. A reclamation projection and a D prospect (albeit a good one). Id think they want someone more established

 

[Brock Radunske]

A LHD prospect (albeit a good one), a bottom 6 winger and a bottom pairing D making 3.5mil who skates in sand....oh gee, where do I sign?

 

[Stuzchuk]

I'm very high in Juuso Valimaki but at this stage in his career, he's nowhere close to Nylander's value

 

[Rare Jewel]

There could be a fit, but it's not this deal.

 

[bluedevil58]

Noah Hanafan?

 

[Voodoo Child]

Dude Nylander and Johnsson (because really like anyone takes Rosen over Johnsson) for Valimaki, Stone and Bennett?

What?

If Nylander and Johnsson go to the Flames I won't say what it costs but you wouldn't like it.

 

[Potty John]

As much as I would like Nylander on our team, I’m not willing to deal Valimaki at all.

 

[CBJFan827]

Wow, I didn't see the OP adjustment. Throwing in Abramov makes this a complete non-starter for the Jackets; we have less than zero motivation to trade him for anything at all.

TBH I'd consider trading VA in a package for Mark Stone, but that's about it. I want to see what he does in the AHL this year.

 

[REALTALK81]

Um if the Leafs are going to have cap problems by Willie asking for 8, wouldn't they have the same problem when Panarin asks for north of that? I would take Nylander at 6.5 to 7 over the next 6-8 years than a year of Panarin. Although the bread man is a better player than Willie, his asks will likely price the Leafs out of one of their other young stars.

Panarin with Tavares or Matthews would be disgusting though.

 

[Randy Randerson]

hard no from the Leafs side

 

[REALTALK81]

I'd love the Leafs to get Tkachuk or Giordano if we were dealing with the Flames.

 

[Volica]

I'd love the Leafs to get Tkachuk or Giordano if we were dealing with the Flames.

I'm hoping an 8 million dollar Nylander isn't the bait to get either of those two.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Not trading Nylander.

Leafs will let him sit the season before doing that.

So, to sum it all up, No

 

[Nylanderthal]

Nylander for Tkachuk with throw ins from either side to make it work.

 

[Crede777]

Jackets aren't worried about getting something for Panarin. They're worried about making the playoffs.

Unlike the Islanders and Senators, the Jackets have made the playoffs the past 2 seasons and feel that they are in a spot where their window is open, not rebuilding or retooling.
