Speculation: Nylander XXI - all Nylander discussion here (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[Kamiccolo]

Where there is smoke there is fire.

Clearly he's using the media to get the other teams to up their offer

 

[BB88]

Why would he say anything different right now?

Thoughts on Faulk + (prospect) for Horton + Nylander

Thoughts on Faulk + (prospect) for Horton + Nylander

No. We need someone younger and cost controlled. Needs to be Pesce or Slavin.

no.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Why would he say anything different right now?

It's just odd that he was so quite about the whole thing and then in the last week and change he is speaking publicly like this with a lot of confidence. That's not like Babs he's usually cards to the chest type of guy.

 

[FalcorMulch]

If a deal isnt made by the deadline, can he play in Europe?

Yes, he technically could have played in Europe at any point after his deal expired on July 1st but the injury risk isn't worth it until he knows he's sitting for the year.

Pesce for Horton + Nylander is about the most I would go.

 

[MoreMogilny]

I want to get off Willy’s Wild Ride now please

I could see MTL make an offer, Nylander would make their top 6 really dynamic

Yeah, if (i) Nylander's salary demands are reasonable and (ii) you're OK with Poehling/Suzuki+ as a return. I don't see that ever happening.

Would have to be Petry as the base and then we would need something to make up the gap in age value and years of control.

Petry + 1st + 2nd likely gets it done it allows them to stock up the prospect pool a bit more either to replace internally or use for trade and also gets them a guy who is better than Hainsey for the top pair.

Habs couldn't afford that. Petry is one thing, but adding our 1st all while killing our 2nd pair is a recipe for disaster.

I dont understand the horton part... Why? Carolina wouldnt take that with their ownership. Its real money theyd be paying. Its not covered by insurance.

 

[FalcorMulch]

Why would he say anything different right now?

He's obviously not going to sit there and say anything negative but if he wasn't confident he likely wouldn't say anything at all. If he wasn't confident Nylander would be signed he wouldn't sit in front of the camera and make himself look like an idiot.

Nope, Faulk is no where near good enough.

Id be willing to part with 2019 1st plus minor add

Carolina needs to block Dubas' number then.

I thought it was insured... that would have helped the trade a lot though, freeing up real cap hit.

Slavin or nothing from CAR.

Block it right now then.

 

[varano]

Slavin or nothing from CAR.

Were probably not getting slavin. Hes too important to them. But Pesce I could see.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Larsson is overrated. I have no interest in him. He's a 2nd pairing D.

Does anyone consider him anything other than a second pairing guy?

 

[Primetime8]

Pesce + for Nylander is more fair than Canes fans are admitting ASSUMING Nylander's ask is around the 7 Mil range and not the 8 mil range like rumored before.

Faulk has been great this year. Not saying it makes Faulk for Nylander fair form a TOR POV, though. I'm just making that point

 

[Fogelhund]

The only way that I see Slavin in a trade with the Leafs, is if something like Slavin + Pesce + Kuokkanen for Gardiner + Nylander +1st went down (maybe there is more from one side, or the other... just saying as a basis). The only argument that I can make on that one, is if Carolina feels that they need to upgrade their offense from the back and the front.... The challenge being, Gardiner is a UFA, and Nylander isn't signed... Carolina easily has the cap space to do it though, but I'd probably be pissed if I were a Carolina fan at that. I mean, Carolina has spent a great deal of time scouting the Leafs.... HF would blowup at such a trade.

Toronto though, with Slavin, Rielly, Pesce in their top four.... That's a pretty good D core.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Yeah, if (i) Nylander's salary demands are reasonable and (ii) you're OK with Poehling/Suzuki+ as a return. I don't see that ever happening.

Yeah that's too high of a price tag, change the first out to something of lesser value

 

[34]

Do not want Pesce.

 

[Chan790]

if you think were going to trade nylander for a guy whos a UFA in two years, youre a mess

No. I'm not going to trade Slavin at-all and Pesce straight-across makes sense but since Toronto supposedly wants more...that's not going to work.

So, either Toronto changes their asking price or hopefully finds a different sucker.

Edit: If its not clear...I don't want Nylander in a Canes uniform unless the price is right. Much rather pursue Jeff Carter or Eric Staal and keep our top-4 intact.
