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

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.

Ekblad is one of the best two way D in the league and he’s on a great contract. It’s going to take a bit of an overpay to get ekblad , the leafs won’t get him with fair value.

Not even close. More like Nylander, Dermott, and a mid round pick for Ekblad and a guy like Accari. Remember it saves the Panthers real money too

He's not one of the best 2 way D lol. He's not even as good as Rielly.

He's similar to Pulock. If he has a bargain contract I wonder what Pulock's gonna get. 8Mx5?

Ekblad is a #1 defenseman owed 35 mill over the next 5 years (7 mill Per) . That is a steal. Panthers won’t entertain your offer.

Then they won't get him.
That's not the discussion though.
The discussion is how somebody wouldn't trade Nylander for him straight up.

Actually he's owed 7.5M... and again what will the Islanders sign Pulock too.

Very similar production and style of play. If 7.5M is a massive bargain is Pulock worth 8M? 9M?

Learn the difference between cap hit and salary. Actually after ekblad received a 4 milllion dollar signing bonus on July 1st, he is now owed 31 million dollars in next 5 years, which is 6.2 mill per year.

Ekblad is better than pulock and signed an 8 year deal. Pulock will get 6 mill x 5, if he signs for 8 years he’ll get closer to 7 mill.

Ekblad isn't better than Pulock lol. Man have you even seen the guy play. You're acting like he's the great Bobby Orr and a multi cup winner.

Panthers are also a extremely low budget team, and Nylander compared to Ekblad saves them $10.5M in real cash. & Ekblad is not a true #1. He's a good #2 but doesn't have the offence of a #1. A package of Nylander plus another cheap NHL roster player and a pick is well within range of his value

Ekblad is better than Pulock. Pulock is an average skater at best. He'll never be a top pairing guy because of it.

Ekblad is better than pulock, but he without a doubt a top pairing guy. Unless you think your eye test is a better indicator of pulocks performance than analytics

Top pairing d-man can skate and keep up with any team in the league. Pulock is not that. Yes I will always trust the eye test for that. Analytics aren't everything, they'll never be able to tell the whole story.

Pulock's better at positioning and defensively.

If you're saying potential wise Ekblad has a higher ceiling I can agree with that but right now they're pretty equal (Pulock might even be better).

Analytics say Dermott is worth 6M when he clearly isn't...

Teams that play like the Blue Jackets and the Islanders have worse advanced stats...

I guess you must've read pulock's scouting report from his draft year. Pulock's skating has greatly improved over the last 3 years and he has very good 4 way mobility and because he thinks the game at a high level, hes able to produce as a top pairing Dman.

Analytics > your eye test. When people say analytics don't tell the whole story its usually because what it tells doesn't support their narrative.

I like the idea of the trade as the leafs get a top pair guy with term and is in the correct age bracket. Florida is probably going to lose both dadonov and Hoffman (possibly haula) they are in desperate need of forward support(also shedding cap). Obviously the leafs add in a deal like this. Maybe Kerfoot or Dermot plus a draft pick or prospect. This would be a tough trade to make but it would certainly be fun
