He has way more value then that. I think the leafs should add a first because he is very good offensively and his contract is a steal

He definitely does, he had a much better season this year on both sides of the floor

The Leafs should be giving Matthews not Nylander. For that reason the Leafs must decline it's too good a deal for them.

At first I read this as Kapanen and Kerfoot coming back the other way and I thought “yeah that seems fair”.

Then I realized it was Nylander. Oof

Agree with this. I think he has positive value but without retention I don’t think you get more than a 2nd and possibly a prospect. He is not a good option to play against other teams top 6. Retained I think you can give him the easy minutes and he could be successful and boost his return.

He just isn’t the type of Dman that Toronto is looking for.

not interested in retaining on him, prefer to move him for a forward with some salary to even things out be it a henrique or a turris (one side adds depending on the caliber of the player coming back)

Leafs are underpaying with this trade. We need to add Matthews and another first round pick. Even then I don't think Buffalo accepts.

Unfortunately there are the people who watch Ristolainen play against other teams top lines, then there are the Ristolainen haters who only saw -41 last year.
Big players take longer to develop, big defensemen even longer.
We have not seen the best of him yet.
While this is an obvious attempt to be sarcastic, I would not trade him for less than Nylander, and the Leafs may view Kerfoot as a move to reduce the cap.
If Kevyn Adams can be patient (I doubt it with the Pegulas bugging him all of the time) there may be more than one team moving players just before the season starts to make cap space.
Look what the Hawks had to take for Leddy from the Islanders in October of 2014.
The Bolts, Blues, Coyotes, Hawks and Leafs may be dealing away good players at a bargain if team as the Sabres can be patient.
