Yeah, cause that kind of protection will help Ottawa a ton when Colorado gets 1OA with their pick next summer.

Flat out 1 for 1, maybe.
Otherwise the GM who does this trade should be fired.
You really want to rely on Goligoski, Demers and Hjalmarsson for the foreseeable future?
Chychrun rounds out any top 4 talk really well and we have no guarantees on any of our prospects on the blue-line.

The only issue that I see is with regards to what Nylander is asking for salary-wise and how we negotiate that in. We can't offer Chychrun and Strome's entry level deals and not expect Toronto to kind of be back in the same boat that they were before this and for Arizona, I doubt that we magically have another $3-5 M to spend this first year of a long-term Nylander deal, as I am assuming we would want to sign Nylander long-term.
I would think that something like Goligoski (trade before his NTC kicks in next July 1st) would have to be included for the sake of salary addition and subtraction.
Goligoski, Strome, Merkley, 2020 top 10 protected 1st round pick
for
Nylander, Jesper Lindgren
??
I would elect to wait and see how this plays out. If we get closer to the time that Nylander must sign or miss the entire year and that gives a longer time to evaluate if Strome is not considered a part of our future plans via play, then we can see what mix of players would work. Providing a D to Toronto who is signed reasonably as Hainsey departs and provides insurance on Gardiner leaving via FA. Strome and Merkley kind of represent the same sort of value player - they may or may not make it to the NHL and may not make it easy to get there, but if they get there, either one has an opportunity to be steady contributor in the top 6 or 9. Merkley could wind up being Nylander-lite and be a solid contributor for the value provided. We already know that Strome has potential, but it needs to show sooner rather than later or we need to find a different team to take him and get him to that point. Seems like reasonable risk/reward for the Leafs, but they may only be interested if Chychrun is included and that would seem to be too much of a salary squeeze to take on b/c we have no room for error - it is playoffs or bust if we make this type of statement move.

He's been injured, but also stuck behind both OEL and Goose on the left side. Only so many minutes to go around. I suspect this season you'll see Chychrun overtake Goligoski for those second pair minutes.
Remember, we didn't draft Zadina.
Nylander would indeed address a need for us. He can play c and rw.

wasn’t gonna be a fan but Utalked me into it
I would not trade Chychrun unless it was for a young RHD. I've seen way too many wingers fizzle out in the NHL. We'd be begging for him back when Goose leaves.
I'm not at that point yet, but what's a fair trade for Dylan Strome? (i.e., a prospect in a similar tier)
One name that came to mind was the Penguins' Daniel Sprong. Fills a need as right-handed RWer and Tocchet likes to dip into the Pittsburgh well. Sprong has been a bit of a pain for the Pens as well.

This. We would do this deal in a minute, Leafs wouldn't. Chych being injured, 2 knee surgeries means he has little value right now, we wouldn't get much for him, which is why he won't be traded.
Sure, but why is Chychrun a physical freak and why do his ligaments break???? Agreed we need D and C though.
