Dubas clearly said that he is not trading Nylander. This is probably the best solution.

Well I don't think it's that easy. Sens or most teams probably don't Zaitseav and his five year term thought he is OK at 4.5m. Liljegeren isn't NHL ready in October which forces the Leafs to keep Zaitsev.

they can go out and sign a cheap free agent like tim heed or make a trade for someone like sean walker instead of keeping zaitsev

Yeah well he should change his mind. This teams needs D help a hell of a lot more than it needs Nylander.

No, Dubas never said that publicly. Why do folks keep believing that? Of course what a GM says publicly has no meaning unless a sports fan is totally naive. "The coach won't be fired". " We intend to resign Mr John Doe." "No trades, we are going with this group."

This goes against all logic. If Heed for example is NHL good as UFA he's going to get good money, and the cap between salary cap is going to be not that much....and the Leafs do not cap space.

It's utterly nonsense that Heed (just an an example) is going to sign for the Leafs for 1m...and be an effective RHD. Effective UFA RHD sign for a lot more than 1m...especailly if he is anywhere near as good Zaitsev. And then we would Ottawa do that trade? They could pay Heed 4m (Heed would like that) and if he's as good or nearly as good as Zaitsev (as so many think) Ottawa is better off too.
In conclusion trading Zaitsev and then signing or trading for equal Dman for about 1m or so is absolute fantasy.

you would think so but these are nhl gm's we are talking about. he(ed) is not as good as zaitsev but he does a fraction of what zaitsev for a fraction of the cost

Therefore, Heed is a better option than Zaitsev. Sure he might not be as good, but he is way cheaper which is what the leafs are looking for; decently productive, cheap Dmen.

This team would lose to Boston in the first round again. Literally no improvements made to the current team.
