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

[7even]

How am I just seeing this for the first time

 

[7even]

Like why would i add him in, Or is he available? Or how is he playing?

Id guess those are all related

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

if Nylander sits, does Dubas retract from his'' we can and we will'' statement?

 

[Colt55]

Any rumored deal involving both or even one of them + a pick is probably BS.
Leafs need D desperately, they aren't trading their top 2 D prospects lol.
And arguably their ONLY D prospects

I understand your thoughts on this. But Teams are not just going to give petro, parayko type dmen away. Its going to hurt to get them unless you get one from dorian or UFA. Not trying to be course but realistic

He didn't say when did he?

 

[Morbo]

Yes, If you follow. I decided rather than continually say no. I would just entertain ideas. Doesnt mean i want to trade him. I just want to see how far TOR fans are willing to go. Thats kinda what this site is for.

so you're just entertaining ideas, but you reserve the right to insult others doing the same thing.

My 1st thought as well!!

I think you're off base here on every front - you might not like the names on the lineup but the Leafs D has been effective this year, still among the league leaders in GA/GP. Even looking at the lineup, all that's missing is a proper partner for Rielly, and if Nylander+ one of those two prospects were to solve that problem that's surely on the table
Durzi, Rasanen have to be considered prospects and it's the norm for non-1st round D prospects to turn into players, like Dermott. Rosen and Borgman are likely both NHL caliber, Borgman's body of work is certainly that and Rosen has outperformed him at the AHL level. Both have the tools you'd expect for NHL defensemen - skating, positioning, good breakout abilities and both have offensive upside

if Nylander+ both of Sandin & Liljegren got the perfect partner for Rielly to complete the d corps, why not?

Imo it says more about how good Andersen is than anything else.

Oh, it wasn't a rumor, I was just responding to a poster's proposal. But, yeah unless the deal is too good to say no we aren't trading the 2 swedes.

Honest question to my fellow Leafs fans....is anybody really that concerned about this situation? I mean i know i should feel nervous...some trepidation...be worried, but i'm really not. At this point, even if he sits, for some reason it's just another day to me.

I wouldnt say he is available. Blues were very patient with him coming back. He looks really good hasn't lost his speed at all. first 4-5 games he was given limited minutes. He now plays regular shifts has 4 points. I think he will continue to improve but missing two years in a row has an effect. So the knee is good, Still has his speed. Can still score. Just needs more time to adjust. He makes 925,000 this year and then is rfa.

Pretty much. Never said i was perfect.

Not really but would like to see him play and not sit out. Though, if it does happen then expect some crazy trade at draft!

Larry David is George not Jerry though...

Yup....gonna be a wild offseason...again.

 

[Blaine8797]

Since I’m seeing a lot of flyers comments going around what do you speculate that the trade would possibly be if it were to happen.

What scenario would you prefer.
(1)Nylander Signs for 7ish plays out this year.
(2) Nylander is traded straight up or package for top 4 dman or top pairing dman
(3) sits out season no deal made.

Which would you prefer. Just curious.

Number one...closely followed by number 2 (depending on the D in return).

Number 3 is only an option if number one doesn't happen....and number 2 is losing a trade.

But again, i'm pretty much indifferent at this point.

Imo it says more about how good Andersen is than anything else.

until the last couple of weeks all of the other metrics painted a pretty good picture of the Leafs back end, they've had some poorer games recently that inflated some of their against numbers. I do agree that the Leafs D could use some upgrades on the right side, and badly needs a top pair RD upgrade, but I think the idea that it needs an overhaul is a huge overstatement. And my point there was that if you can get exactly what you need for Nylander plus things that aren't on the roster, I think that's something that needs to be considered

Simmonds + Hagg + 2nd for Nylander + Liljegren + 1st

I rather number 1 or 2. Personally would go with 2 and then 1.

That's horrible deal for leafs. Rather not make a trade at all then that.

 

[Liferleafer]

Umm....no?

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

Not even close
