You aren’t getting Nylander without a 1st and probably a top prospect, even if they trade him they are selling him for low value. Quality over quantity.

Even with adding Nylander and Murphy, I’m still not sure this is a playoff team, remember Columbus was 20 points out of the playoffs this season, I just don’t see any team that in the playoffs taking a big enough step back that Columbus makes it.

I would absolutely do that for Nylander. Texier is the best piece of that trade, and I think his ceiling is middle-6, 2nd line C/LW. If CBJ landed Nylander without giving up a 1st it would be pretty miraculous, but because of that I doubt the Leafs say yes.

The Murphy trade I'm less excited about. He probably doesn't fit Columbus' window, and it almost makes more sense to just keep Bean. I think one of either Bean, Foudy/Bemstrom, or a 2nd might be worth it. 2 of them would be an overpay. All 3 would make me question Jarmo.

Leafs are in win-now mode before the Marner and Matthews deals are up. I dont doubt we'll be getting rid of nylander if we lose against tampa, but I dont think we trade him unless we get someone to replace him in the deal
