Description
I don’t follow either of these team super close, so I could be wrong. But this trade seems to make so much sense.

Nylander is a couple years younger and signed for one extra year. But he’s also a little bit more expensive. I’m assuming Minnesota wants a center back for Dumba, so they would need to feel comfortable about moving Nylander to center permanently for this to work.

The chatter around Toronto has been about finding Reilly a partner, but I think Muzzin-Dumba could be a great shut-down pair and free up Reilly for more offensive opportunities.

Maybe there’s a more elaborate form of this trade too. Something like Dumba + Eriksson Ek for Nylander and Dermott. Toronto gets a shut-down 3C and Minnesota gets a replacement defenseman.

Again, I don’t follow these teams super close so the value could be off a bit. I’d be interested to hear what Toronto and Minnesota fans think.

Dumba for Nylander, sure. Eriksson Ek for Dermott, absolutely not.

I don't think Nylander can be a legit top-6-center in the NHL so I don't want to do this. It's too high of a risk.

Not a big fan of this. Dumba isnt strong on the defensive end like Toronto needs in a defenseman. Trading Nylander for Dumba is just doubling down on the Barrie model which failed so spectacularly this season. A lot of people like trading Dumba to Toronto on these forums but hes the wrong model of defenseman for the Leafs needs.

Is your concern about Nylander moving to center? He’s pretty clearly a top six forward based on his production.

Issue is dumba is not what the leafs are looking for. He is not a great defender.

Also nylander coming off a career season and can play centre. Dumba coming off a horrible season.

Also nylander isn’t being moved unless it is a huge overpay. He is very well liked by the entire organization and he doesn’t want to be moved either.
