Came across these two polls today asking who says no if the Panthers offer Ekblad for Nylander and I was shocked to see just how close it was.
Who do Leaf fans honestly think Nylander is? If this is a 1-for-1 deal it's a landslide win for the Leafs. Even if you think the player values are even you have to admit that Ekblad checks all the boxes the Leafs need. He'd be a terrific partner for Rielly, would help the PK and their defensive game and would add size and skill to a blueline in desperate need.

I don't really know much about ekblad - he definitely has #1 potential and term. Florida is desperately trying to dump cap so I can't see them taking on an equivalent contract in Nylander. They'd love the player but idk if they have the cash to pay him

You’d probably have to add sandin. Sandin + Nylander for Ekblad + 2nd

Quoting: Lyle_Bubas

If they want savings it works in their favour.
Nylander has 4 years left with 6M of actual salary left to pay each season. His signing bonus of 3.5M has been paid out already for the 20/21 season. Total $$$ left to pay for the duration of his contract is 20.5M.
Ekblad has 5 years left with a yearly breakdown of 6, 9, 6, 7, and 6 years. His signing bonus of 4M has been paid out already for the 20/21 season. Total $$ left to pay for the duration of his contract is 31M.

Well the first thing you are missing is thinking an open poll on twitter is just Leafs fans responding.
