Value of: William Nylander to Vancouver

[Boondock]

Does anyone in the Canucks even want Nylander at that cap hit?

I'm one of the Nucks fans who doesn't think Nylander is a 27pt player and for the right deal I would glady take WN. Both the Pettersson and Horvat lines need wingers so adding one of Nylanders quality would be huge. As for the right deal, I would want the Canucks to weaponize their cap space by getting a player for cents on the dollar because their club is up against the cap and need to make some changes.

 

[Morgs]

I love how this is so often the response when it comes to trading Nylader. Why isn't he getting traded? You'll very likely have three forwards making $10mm+ (two at 11mm+) with one top pairing D man on the entire team.

I understand the premise of not "getting rid of him" but if theres a deal to be made for Nylander that would help the defense it would be silly to not entertain it.

We're fine, thanks.

Nylander

for

Virtanen (15 goals)
Stecher (23 points, +9)
2019 3rd (90th)

Might have some legs? Leafs will need the cap space badly, keep in mind.

Better HF offers of
Mayfield+Wahlstrom+Dal Colle
and
Fischer+POJ+Westerlund

have already been seen.

Other teams will pay for talent, keep in mind.

Lol why do people want Nylander? Did they watch the game last night?

Yeah a big no thanks to Nylander in Vancouver, even though we have fans that have been whining about not drafting him for years. Skilled player but don't like his effort level and lack of intensity or that contract. Leaf fans are practically running him out of town right now.

 

[shortfuze]

Nylander isn't getting traded, and is not available

This sounds like a broken record

 

[Snatcher Demko]

No thanks. I wouldn't trade Stecher by himself for Nylander. The contract is unncessary and the Canucks will most likely draft another winger.

Stecher is very underrated here. He's a very good middle-pairing defenseman who is still cheap.

If the Leafs want a RHD from Vancouver it will have to be Tanev, though he's not quite worth Nylander on his own.

 

[Liferleafer]

TML need to free up space for Marner.

I’m sure Leafs brass aren’t thrilled about waiting half a season for Nylander to underachieve for the last half.

Just spitballing:

God awful. I mean come on.....

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Troy is not a potential top pairing RHD. I think that tor should focus on getting hamilton or pesce type of big defensive first dman that can add 30-40+ points. That is what they need Pesce would be Ideal.

I agree and Seth Jones would be even better but doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

I did watch the game. Every game this series. Game 2 he was awful for 2 periods. The rest he was fine. His unit held the Bruins to one goal at even-strength and contributed four. They controlled the possession battle. And that was with Willie playing with the Leafs' two worst wingers.

When he's engaged, Nylander is really a very effective forechecker and backchecker. He showed glimpses of that. He can produce with like-minded players.

He'd be a godsend to the Canucks. A winger, other than Boeser, that can actually create offense so that Bo and Petey don't have to drag everyone else around.

Because it should be known, but its not.

I wouldn’t trade Stecher for him either.Nylander is a whiny,entitled b**ch who isn’t worth half his cap space.I wouldn’t trade Virtanen straight up for him,TBH.

All the talk about his regular season points doesn’t mean much when all that will do is hurt your draft position while maybe getting you into a wild card spot where you’ll be one and done like the Leafs are every year.
I’d rather draft high for another year or two and continue to add potential impact players who might help you in the playoffs down the road rather than just making the playoffs but having no real chance at doing anything.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Does Toronto fans realistically think Nylander Is worth much right now on the market ??

His stock literally cant be any lower right now.

So either keep him and try to win with him next year and deal w the salary cap

Or

Sell low on him and just move on from the player and the horrendous contract.

But nobody is going to buy high on him. Why would they ? Let's be real here

 

[GoodbyeLuongo]

Honestly pass. No interest whatsoever in dealing Stecher.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

GrandTheftAuto meme - Ah ****, Here We Go Again..

aha but what would Kapanen cost? mr RFA.

That’s who I’m interested in. Can offersheet him for a 2nd round pick and Toronto can’t match.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I would do that deal easily as a leafs fan. Stetcher is a great d-man and Virtanen wouldn’t do any less to help in the playoffs than Willie.

Would you do Hutton instead of Stetcher if we throw in a 2nd?

I will answer this way...Nylander has 2 60+ point seasons, he then sat out and struggled to a 27 points in 54 games this season...which is a 41 in 82 pace.

Patrick Laine had 50 points in 82 games this season...while having a full training camp/pre season.

So if everyone on here wants to look at 2 seasons of 60+ point production as an outlier and judge Nylander by ONLY this season....what would you give for 50 point Laine? And remember....using the Nylander logic, you CAN NOT take Laine's other years into consideration.

 

[Liferleafer]

Yes....yes they can.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Oh I'd be surprised if he took under $11

3x players making $33million is going to decimate any chances of improving the blueline, or having great depth.

Term matters a lot in Marner's case. How many RFA/UFA years to you buy is the question. He has 4 RFA years left right?

Nobody talking about a 3 year bridge deal? Why not? If he wants $11M+ for a long term deal, offer him a 3 year deal at $9M and with intentions to pay him more when the cap space issues unblock a bit more in 3 years. He would still be RFA controlled

 

[Liferleafer]

Would you do Hutton instead of Stetcher if we throw in a 2nd?

Lol...why ask a question you already know the answer to?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Don’t think that this is enough for Nylander.

It isn't much but think of it as Nylander MUST be moved. Who will offer more? Just asking. Maybe the answer is almost everyone.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Does Vancouver even have any expendable assets that could land them Nylander?

Yeah Pettersso, Hughes, Boeser, Horvat are nice players but they aren't trading them.

Juolevi, Virtanen, Tanev etc don't have any appeal .

 

[Liferleafer]

Why think of something not based at all in reality?

 

[bh53]

No thanks we will keep stecher

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Can the Leafs even match $10,148,302?
Compensation would be 2x 1sts, 2nd, 3rd

3x players over $10million is going to gut them significantly.

Marner wouldn't likely sign for that x5 years. And 5 years takes him directly to UFA. Is some team going to offer him 11x5 just to see him walk in 5 years? after they give up 4 1sts for him?
