I'd like Edmonton to take a run at trading for Nylander, but I am very concerned what the asking price would be. I've seen some rational ideas from Leaf fans and some irrational ideas. One thing is clear to me: Nylander's negotiation strength gets weaker with every win the Leafs get. They look like they're a runaway train offensively. He isn't being missed.
Edmonton has only played 3 games and all on the road so far. The next seven games are tough. If the team stumbles out of the gate perhaps a move could be made. Could Nylander be a target? He'd look good on the top line or even on the 2nd with Draisaitl. What would the ask be?
I’m not sure Edmonton has the assets they’d be willing to part with for Nylander.
Young top-pairing or top pairing potential RHD is the likely asking price for a guy of Nylander’s caliber.
Larson isn’t that young anymore and doesn’t look like he’ll be a legit top pairing dman, and Nurse is a lefty... and again... pretty decent sized question mark about whether he’ll be a top pairing dman.
Either guy would require a significant add.
Nylander also isn’t the prototypical Chiarelli player. Don’t see much interest from him.
