Have the car running during the negotiation in case they say yes. You can get away quick before they realize what happened and call the cops for robberyIn what way are Lindholm, Parayko, Slavin and Ellis "awful returns"?
If you can get any of those 4, you take it, and thank them on your way out.

Seriously guys, you can call him whatever you want, but Nylander is jut too damn talented. There is no right handed D with as much potential as this kid. If we trade him, everyone will laugh at us in a few years.
Montour + Ritchie is the kind of package I’d be targeting.

May not have a choice
Why?
You think Nylander is going to sit out 5 years?
...
Hopefully, no one would be silly enough to trade 8 years of Nylander for 3 years of some glass d-man.
Yes that’s it, he’ll sit out....
Cuz they may not find middle ground?
We’re seeing that Matthews can elevate play in his wingers. So long as they have talent and speed. Kap is showing it, AJ could in time, Bracco might, Grundstrom, Korshkov possibly. Maybe even Brown and Leivo.
We know Tavares can do the same thing.
Mitch is gifted enough to drive a line.
Kadri can do the same.
Gotta keep a flow coming of those kind of secondary parts.
As much as I love Willie and would prefer he stay around long-term a deal involving a D who can play good minutes now, with some other projectable assets looks stomachable.
That’s why Carolina looks intriguing: Pesce, and a large number of nice secondary assets. Roy, Gauthier, Bean, there 1st. Maybe Rask, some other guys from there farm/NCAA.
No idea how it will shake-out, but there will be good options.
To hear Jets fans tell it,that doesn't work for them,as all their top wingers and centers are better than Willy! If they continue their non-scoring ways,that may change. Back to back coming up so we will see.Add Trouba and you have the perfect list IMO.
? Oh why is that? Willie going to sit a home for 5 years.May not have a choice

I think Brind'amour as a coach might be a good fit in Carolina, and building something. I am a Leaf fan and I think we are over valuing Nylander. Matthews is proving that now with Kap. It will be the Leafs adding to get Pesce if they want him. Big stud , right shot, defensive D , signed to a long term cap friendly deal, age appropriate. Seems to check all the boxes!!If Leaf fans think this is an option, you probably should just move on and consider other guys.

Willy's agent is going to huff and puff and then.... sign a 6.5-6.75 x 7 year contract.
Toronto is the perfect place for Nylander. Gets to be a superstar if he wants to but doesn't have the carry the load himself.
Doughty makes 11m next season.i have a dream.......
Nylander + Gardiner + 1st 2019 + 2nd 2021
