Hockey Noon on SportsNet made an interesting comment...Maybe for Trouba?In a total fantasy world, Nylander+ for Parayko. Realistically? I dunno, Gudas?

There's very little chance that Dumba would be available at this point.Jaccob Slavin
Colton Parayko
Jacob Trouba
Matt Dumba
Those are just a few names, obviously depends on the fit for other teams but that's something the Leafs would be looking towards.

Yeah - I really don't get Trouba's point of view in the sense that's he's on a team with a few of his countrymen, and it's a really good team to boot.The rumour is Trouba wants to go to an American market out east. I'd do the deal personally if Nylander would be able to play C between Ehlers and Laine. And sign long term at a reasonable rate.

if they thought he was a great player or will become one they wouldn't be saying he's only worth what Ehlers signed for
and they've been crapping on him since the start of camp and a few people before then
Explain how his value is going down? Any team that trades for him is still getting a team controlled asset for what? 5 seasons. There isn't even a little dent in his value.Dubas is in the better position but he is not winning.
Nylander's value is going down.
Dubas would have won if he traded him July 2, but ...

If he signs for fair market, I think an overwhelming majority of rational Leaf fans can’t wait to get him back.if they thought he was a great player or will become one they wouldn't be saying he's only worth what Ehlers signed for

nylander can play C, id say it would take him a bit of time to get comfortable since he doesnt get to play it too much at the nhl(bout 20% of total time). But if he is moved its cause he wants 7-7.5 mil.The rumour is Trouba wants to go to an American market out east.

I don't think the Jets can afford Nylander at that cap hit+an adequate Trouba replacementnylander can play C, id say it would take him a bit of time to get comfortable since he doesnt get to play it too much at the nhl(bout 20% of total time). But if he is moved its cause he wants 7-7.5 mil.

It seems like he's been a pain since he started his pro career...Maybe he'd accept a trade to Toronto, and sign on for several seasons?
Who knows with these guys...

There is no scenario where he loses a year and makes zero.
That's not even one of the options. If he ultimately doesn't sign with the Maple Leafs or get traded, he will play in Europe.
which is fair im just pointing it out, leafs want him at 6-6.7, if we cant thats why hes prolly movedI don't think the Jets can afford Nylander at that cap hit+an adequate Trouba replacement
He won't play in Europe. Players of his calibre don't do that. He could blow his knee-out and cost himself tens of millions.There is no scenario where he loses a year and makes zero.

If Trouba is willing to extend at 7-7.5M the Jets look for a way to get it done. Top pairing RHD is more important than a RW when the depth is Wheeler-Laine. As for C, the Jets view and are grooming Roslovic as a future C he's still getting his feet wet though.Probably not but it goes both ways whether Trouba is willing to extend (with Winnipeg in the first place) and at what cost. All his RFA years will be eaten up when he hits market, so the AAV could be massive.
As for Nylander playing C, there's no reason he shouldn't develop into one- if not playing one as one right now, on another team. If Nylander ends up staying, I wouldn't be surprised in a few years (or earlier) that Kadri gets moved to wing and Nylander centers the 3rd line. In fact, that is my expectation, but it's tough to get a read on what Babcock wants/does sometimes.
we paid above market for Rielly and Kadri to sign long term and both have become cap friendly deals , Zeitsev i believe will also outplay the long term deal he signed but didn't earnPaying for what Nylander could become would just be terrible cap management, and I’d say the same for any team in this situation. Sure he may be worth Drai money soon, but there’s no guarantee that he will be and no real argument to pay him that other than his potential, and that isn’t tangible in negotiations, especially when so much is riding on this one.
I think the worst thing the Leafs could do is undermine the trust of their players and attempt games like telling a player they are a core member, getting them to sign for a discount, then trading them. For at least a year, Nylander has been the convenient name in Leafs trade rumors. He's been the one out of the "big three" that the media and fans consider the most expendable.
If this was an option, he would be signed already.The rumour is Trouba wants to go to an American market out east. I'd do the deal personally if Nylander would be able to play C between Ehlers and Laine. And sign long term at a reasonable rate.
you actually think he's losing money because he's asking for 8.5m ? really ?If he signs for fair market, I think an overwhelming majority of rational Leaf fans can’t wait to get him back.
Caving to a ridiculous $8.5 million ask is about a 20 or 25% overpayment.
I know Trouba is from Michigan, and it's a ways from home, but honestly I've never heard anything about his father being unable to set foot in Canada (actually I find that amusing - guy must really have issues, or is a f**k up for something like that to happen).One of your fellow Wings fans was saying that Trouba's father is barred from Canada (no idea why) so that would explain why Trouba wants to be in the US, and for that I can't blame him.
