Eklund Rumor: Sharks D to Toronto

[Pyrophorus]

All things being equal cap wise, if you think the Leafs would turn down Nylander for Burns, you're out of your mind.

I didn't say they would, you asked to justify the equality.

In fact I've wanted Burns for a while now.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Bad rumour but... The only D the sharks would move is Vlasic. I’d move him for Kap or Nylander but idk what else would be needed.

I'm not touching that Vlasic contract with a ten foot pole let alone moving Nylander for it.

What a dumbass rumor

 

[Orfieus]

Burns + 1st + 7th (just because I want Toronto to have as many 7th rounds picks as they possibly can) for Marner

 

[themelkman]

Burns + 1st + 7th (just because I want Toronto to have as many 7th rounds picks as they possibly can) for Marner

No

 

[weastern bias]

Burns + 1st + 7th (just because I want Toronto to have as many 7th rounds picks as they possibly can) for Marner

San Jose is not in the position to trade 1st round picks

We don't have one in this draft and didn't have one last draft, and with how bad the team is we need another young talent (that isn't being payed $10M) asap

 

[Gecklund]

Burns + 1st + 7th (just because I want Toronto to have as many 7th rounds picks as they possibly can) for Marner

Ha no. That’s horrid. Burns has 3 less points playing for a team that has lost more than they won (and I think they’re on the bottom of the division) and is a D and is cheaper.

Ajax? Born in Barrie.

My bad, I believed capfriendly which says Ajax. Both are near enough to Leafs that he may have them on his list.

 

[hockfan1991]

He realizes that salary cap exists eh

No way Toronto would take 7+ million back for 6+ season

I believe Toronto would

As long as the Sharks were will to take on 7 million for 6 seasons as well

Toronto doesn't really have 6m in bad contracts to take though.

Acquiring Burns, at the cost of Marner or Nylander, makes little sense for Toronto.

Imagine a hypothetical world where Toronto didn't have Reilly. In that case, they should trade Nylander + extras to get Burns. That makes sense...sure Burns is much older, but Toronto's windows is open NOW and they need a superstar defenseman more than they need another really good young forward player. I would imagine that given the age of the roster, the window would be open for a long time, but why wait? Defensemen like Burns are rarely available. I would even say a trade involving Marner for Burns is something Toronto should consider.

But, Toronto has Reilly. They have player, who, I think, is already an elite D-man or very close to it.

 

[ottawah]

This makes no sense. Sharks need more D, not less.

Hence them trying to trade Karlsson.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

It's hilarious that "Eklund" still has a tag here. He sold his site years ago but the fraud lives on. Never change hf.

 

[Sysreq]

Eklund got the Erik Karlsson trade before it happened.

 

[tmlfan98]

I would potentially be interested in Dalton Prout or Tim Heed.

... you can have them...

Any one of these guys could be better than Ceci at this point.

So someone else owns the site?

 

[Leaf4Life79]

Eklund? smh

 

[andora]

after watching the sharks last night i don't think i'd be looking too hard at any of them. take the big three (contracts) out which would be a non starter you aren't left with that much. only thing that would interest me is ceci for dillon - atleast muzzin wouldn't be the only guy with testicles any longer. i hear muzzin has his own shower

seriously, toronto doesn't need trades right now, they need to watch video of some of the other teams, washington, islanders, even vancouver. i think they should also have one of those faux street signs made up for the locker room. "100pts mean nothing in june"

 

[OVO16]

Didnt Eklund actually get something right this off-season? I forget what it was

But Burns plays physical too. Reilly got pushed around last night and the only player he hit was from behind and got a cross checking penalty for it!

 

[Painful Quandary]

Tim Heed? He's in DeBoer's doghouse, but I don't know if the Leafs need RD.

 

[themelkman]

Tim Heed? He's in DeBoer's doghouse, but I don't know if the Leafs need RD.

He could be had for like a fourth. No reason for him to be on the sharks even

Some how leafs and RD end up in 75+% of the post on here
