Value of: William Nylander for an RHD

[Reinhart]

As a Flames fan, I politely decline the trade, but I do like Nylander. Hamilton is almost criminally underrated.

With that being said, I wouldn't be so down on him. So maybe he has some confidence issues and didn't perform well. He is young and he will get better. Whether it is as a center or winger, I would just keep Nylander and just try to add to your team by moving other pieces and looking in the UFA bin. I don't like the Leafs, but I have to say that Nylander will help your team win in the long run. Patience is virtue with youth, especially when it comes to the playoffs. IMO, you don't want to unbalance your team down the road by trading young offence now. Bruins have been playing exceptionally well this season, and are a tough team to match-up against with how they can stifle a team.

Ehlers goes hard every shift and is working hard to give his team a 3-1 series lead. The same cannot be said for Willy

Does Ehlers have to line up against Chara-McAvoy every shift? No? He gets Minnesota's AHL pairings? Okay please stop.

Dumba’s a legit first pairing, Spurgeon’s legit first pairing, Suter’s legit first pairing, Brodin’s the best #3 in the league. Good lord you guys are worse than Flames fans for overrating your defence.

None of those guys fetch Draisaitl or even close. Nylander isn’t worth as much as Leon but I still doubt you’d get him either.

thanks for the laugh

Ehlers with that extra post-season apple gives him a lot more value, anyone who says otherwise is homer.

Quite the homerish statement. I'd love Ehlers on the Flames but its not like hes on an other level from the Toronto guys.

Just like you guys would love Hamilton.

Nylander for Hampus Lindholm?

I was mocking the Jets fan in this thread that's been barking about how Nylander is a soft, valueless POS because of this playoffs, while at the same time propping up Ehlers as the son of god.

 

[Liferleafer]

Nylander and a 1st for Seth Jones?

Columbus laughs.

 

[TaLoN]

Spurgeon and Coyle for Nylander and a 2nd.

Well that guy does have a point. One guy is stepping up while the other guy has been hot garbage in these playoffs.

Really? You want Hall over the 10-15 genuine #1 dmen in the league? Sorry that dman is going to provide better net value in scoring and stopping scoring.

Not to nitpick, but there are 31 #1 Dmen in the league.

Spurgeon and Coyle for Nylander and a 2nd.

Switch it to a 1st and add a tad from the Wild side.

What would you add to get the first?

 

[justafan22]

Nylander for Hampus Lindholm?

Leafs win that trade but he's not a RHD

 

[Digitalbooya]

What would you add to get the first?

A pick of some sort. Spurgeon+Coyle for Nylander+2nd just seems like the Wild need more for a 1st pairing RHD (exactly what Toronto needs) and a top 6 RW with position identity issues. I’m not so sure Toronto should be trading Nylander either.

Nylander for Hampus Lindholm?

No thanks.

 

[LeafFever]

Leafs are not trading Nylander.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I legit could see a package of Nylander ++ for Doughty

It gives Leafs a franchise defender to work with and immediately shores up almost all of their defensive woes and it gives LA building blocks to revamp their roster a bit.

Leafs become a contender with Doughty on defense for them.

 

[Snowman]

I hope the Leafs don't use Nylander to improve their porous defense. That should keep the Leafs as a free space on the playoff bingo card for years.

Not everything is about points. Nylander has clearly given up on the series. Big time quitter

 

[Byron Bitz]

There are teams that don’t have a number 1 D

Enjoy watching your boy Nylander get shut down by a 41 year old Chara who can barely skate and an NHL rookie with less than 70 NHL games played

Minnesota shut down Ehlers without their best defenseman and player. But, but, he competed willy hod.

McAvoy is already a star.

He was a no show. Let's see if he can do it again in round 2.
