Quoting: MitchMarner_16
true. I think Nylander has not been shopped, but if he were i think he would fetch a good piece.
To be clear, i don't want to trade nylander as a first option, but if a right offer comes alone and plugs our holes in the roster, i think it should be jumped on.
What actual holes do the Leafs have at the moment though? They obviously are not perfect, but...
They have 5 Top 6 fwds (and 3 solid candidates to play with them).
They have about 10 players to fill out their bottom 6, most of which are capable bottom 6 players.
They have 3 solid Top 4 Dmen with Holl, Dermott and Lehtonen able to fight out it for the 4th spot.
Leaving 4 or 5 options for the bottom pairing, some of which have dominated those minutes in the past.
And unitl last year Freddy was a Top 12 or so goalie.
We also have a coach with a bit different system that will now have an entire training camp to implement it.
I really don't see how Nylander moving plugs any holes without leaving a bigger one in the Top 6.
