Leafs are scary because they are tough to match up against up front. No need to change that like Edmonton tried to do by trading Hall and Eberle..they were no longer scary up front and failed to improve defensively when the dust settled.

Also, no team is trading a good RD unless it’s an overpayment.

Rielly Zaitsev
Gardiner Hainsey
Dermott _____*
Rosen
Borgman
Marincin

*Carrick (25 games)
Holl (15 games)
Ozhiganov (10 games)
Liljegren (10 games)

Why not see what we have? There are 60 games up until the trade deadline; make a decision/assessment without guessing of what these guys can do after game ~60.

Do people realize we did this with the LD last year and found out we have Dermott and Borgman who can play in our top 6 moving forward?

Jeeze that D looks terrible.. hopefully the offense just doesn't allow the other team to get the puck.

Leafs already has limited cap space they can’t absorb Subban’s $9M salary without moving another high priced player. Preds can get a better deal than a Nylander + 1st + cap dump.

This is such a poorly researched trade, neither team will accept.

You are grossly underrating Nylander. His value alone is smiliar to the almost 30 year old subban



Then so is Subban. Hes arguably their best defender and theyre're trying to win a cup. They arent moving him unless they are clearly winning the trade, and unless one of them is in it, they arent.

Then lock er up!

Gonna go on a limb and assume its "they already had a good d core, so they could afford to let the not so pretty picks develop".

We have a good forward group and LD situation. We can afford to let these guys develop in the AHL and NHL and reassess at the deadline. These guys are pretty much NHL ready. Also Anaheim was a contender and developed Fowler Lindholm Vaatanen Montour Manson while being a contender. It’s not a new concept.

Not saying it isnt possible. Just that it's easier when you can insulate them better. Dermott seemed to do okay so maybe the leafs will be fine. Time will tell.

Josi is their best D-man, Subban isn't
