He is not an NHL-level center - he's never had anything even resembling success at the NHL level at that position. He's a winger. One we could possibly pick up at a discount, but still a winger.Im still on to Mikael Granlund he doesnt belong to NSH in MIN he was brilliant, he can be 2C or play winger. He passing ability is great and he can also score. Nyquist - Granlund - Björky
Cam - PLD - ??

Sonny’s your guy (prospect of sorts). They liked Duclair.If we could trade Murray+ for Pageau and then re-sigh him, that’d be great for us.
Unfortunately Ottawa is looking for picks and prospects
Passing through to clear this up.I watch 70+ Leafs games a year and have since things like Center Ice and NHL.tv have been around. Nylander might be listed as a center but has not been and never will be an effective NHL center. He is a great offensive player but when the defensive responsibilities of being a center get added his offensive game goes to crap. Babcock tried him at center multiple times for extended periods with some pretty good wingers and he just wasn't good. It has nothing to do with being behind centers like Tavares and Bozak and Matthews and Kadri.
With that said I would love to see him in a CBJ sweater but Jarmo isn't likely to give up what it would take to get Nylander and Dubas isn't going to accept Savard and some spare parts for him. While most people on here are saying Toronto is desperate for defense wouldn't the same hold true for the Jackets and offense? If there's a trade to be made it's going to be in the off-season. Teams in contention aren't lining up to trade away top 6 forwards for defense at the deadline.

Nylander was a full-time centre in the SHL and the Leafs developed him as a C with the Marlies in the AHL (Kapanen and Hyman on his wings) - even Babcock said he's best in the centre of the ice. If the Leafs didn't win the draft lottery or land JT in FA, Nylander would be the org's #1 C. Even now he's the #1 replacement C in the top 6 whenever one of the big dogs go down and takes all of the face-offs on his strong side. In 2017-18 during Matthews' major injury, Nylander took over at C for a longer stretch and looked natural. Even this year when moving to JT's line, Tavares told the media he had to reinvent his game so that Nylander could be the one controlling centre ice, even though JT takes the draws. Once JT starts to decline/leaves, Nylander will be the permanent 2C. He's a centre.
But he's not being traded, last year was the only real chance to acquire him, so its a moot point.
No interest in moving Gavrikov pretty much at all.Drouin for Gavrikov straight up, or Petry for Gavrikov straight up (Petry is not UFA), so can reship next deadline.
1st isn't available, but Nuti is. We'd like to keep Peeke if we can, tho.Tatar for 1st 2020 + Peeke, or Nutivaara + Peeke (Tatar is not UFA), so can reship next deadline.
Generally when you go onto team boards you'll get a few... "interesting" proposals.I read something so insane above... Anderson & Murray for Larkin.

If we're trading Nuti for picks, I'd rather they be sooner than later. He is available, but we're happy to hold on to him for now as well, if only for expansion draft purposes.Columbus needs a player like Tatar but doesn't want to give 1st rounder or young defencemen so it can't work.
Habs need defencemen that Columbus is willing to give but they are not enough for Tatar.
What is the asking price for Nutivaara?
What about Habs 2nd rounder in 2021 for Nutivaara? Columbus don't have one.
Sonny Milano and Harrington or Carlsson.What would you offer for Ryan ".90 PPG" Strome?
People in FB groups saying CBJ have interest in PK Subban lol, nah

I read something so insane above... Anderson & Murray for Larkin.
Ryan Murray is constantly injured, or we would fetch a 1st rounder+ in value (or not even considered being traded), but he simply cannot at this point because for 4 years in a row he can't stay healthy.
Josh Anderson is not only having a down year, it's a terrible year. Even if he had a similar year as last year, and you add Murray, Red Wings says No. Larkin is worth more then Bjorkstrand, and nobody here would give Bjorkstrand for Anderson + Murray. Now true that Larkin and Bjorkstrand are having a similar year, but Larkin just had 2 break-out years back to back, and Larkin is 1 year younger.
Value for Anderson or Murray is not what the Jackets think. I suspect Anderson to be worth a late first, and Murray 2x 2nd. I don't think any team would give that but I think it's what they are worth.
yeah I saw a “confirmed” rumor on Twitter that we’re trading savard and Carlsson for Subban with jersey retaining.
