No way Washington is trading Carlson. He is more valuable to them than he would be to anyone else

Why would Caps do this?

As good as Carlson is, I'll pass. We don't need a 30+ offensive D. We need a 23 - 27 ish D if we trade a big 4.

Doesn't make a ton of sense for the Washington Hockey Team either

I actually agree with this. The value is bad for Washington, and the fit is bad for toronto. Both sides pass.

The Pens happily offer a deal around Pettersson for Nylander. Look how shiny Pettersson is. Smell that? That is fence free Corinthian leather...

Only meat head fans want to trade Nylander for literally any defenceman. An intelligent fan knows he's on a terrific contract and is a terrific player.

lmfao i just had to tell leaf fan to read in my other post.

i said take out age Carlson has more value than Marner..... literally the next response was

"How does Carlson exactly have more value than Marner? Marner's younger"

ugh comprehension is hard

Minnesota doesn't want justin holl

I like when you and I disagree, because usually you are just wrong and I am always right... it's not just one of us having reading comprehension issues.

i cant tell if you are fkin with me or not lol

IM NEVER WRONG!!!!!

when in doubt double down with 0 facts

im going to ELI you

Carlson's NTC nixes any trade to the Leafs. I don't know if long term it's that's great for the Leafs. Nylander, competent Holl, soon to be NHLer Liljegren and a first.

I think Holl is worth more than that, but Minnesota isn't really a fit at the moment. I get people always trade him to Minnesota because he is from Minnesota, but I think he would be willing to except a trade to anywhere that the team is competitive and he has opportunity.

Really? Carlson had the most point out of all nhl defenceman. Nylander is good, but if Washington says yes, leafs should be jumping up and down.

Lol is that a joke making fun of the nfl washington team?

Cool

lol yes it was. And yeah I don't think its smart. Points from the back end isn't a hole. And ya neither is offence but if I'm trading Nylander I'd rather have a Parayko than a Carlson. Not discrediting anything Carlson does I just see him as like Rielly+, something that would certainly be awesome to have but for the long term for this team I'd prefer a younger, more defensively-focused D that would give us a bit more cap flexibility.

Again, nothing wrong with the D man, but the fit is off. Leafs have 5 NHL calibre LDs (Rielly, Muzzin, Lehtonen, Dermott, Sandin) and don't need it. Petterson also just isn't on the right tier of players to be quite honest.

I am messing with you, that's why I put that smiley thing. I view that one as Dr. Evil's pinky to the lips thing.
Dr. Evil: I want... one MILLION dollars!
President: Um... okay.
Dr. Evil: Wait, what?


See, usually wrong.


No, if I was Eli'ing then I would have said that you were usually wrong when starting in the offensive zone on the road on Wednesdays when lined up against off handed opponents... obvious proof!!!

Oh, I agree I'd rather have a Payanko than a Carlson, but this package just seems to good to turn down. Not saying Carlson should be acquired at all cost, even if it costs Matthews or anything. Just that if this were to come up, the leafs would take it hands down. But it wouldn't come up anyway, because a) Carlson is not getting traded, and b) Other teams could offer more.

I think he's literally just an older, more experienced, right-shot Rielly though. A defensive D, if we're gonna do it, makes way more sense. Not that WSH would touch this either.

Well, if you put it that why, would you do a Rielly for Nylander trade if Rielly played for a different team? I would.

Assuming that means we no longer have Morgan Rielly then yes I would. Rielly fits our core's age timeline, is a great two way (but primarily offensive) #1D, and would be exactly what we were missing if we didn't have Rielly.

my eyes are so bad i couldnt see what that face was doing lol. Where has Eli been or does he have a new user name? you guys always made me laugh. "Crosby takes 55 strides/shift and Eller takes 75 strides/shift. they have the exact same value" lol

That's face actually comes up a sarcasm in the text if you click it.

A nickel weighs 5g, a dime weighs 2.3g. Obviously a nickel is worth twice what a dime is! I can't make it any clearer!
