If this is scary good then so is our current core. I've shut up about Anderson for now because he played well, what more did you want to see from Nylander? He was dominant.

Also what an overpay for a marginal upgrade in Savard. Not worth it at all.

The Leafs would be better today, than they were yesterday. I feel as if everyone from the big 4 brings a similar style of play which is pure offence. PLD would provide something that no core forward has which is offence AND defence.

same sh*t different bucket. You haven't made this team better or worse really. Offensive production is certainly lower, and we don't really need another center. Savard is not even close to a 1st + Liljegren better than Holl. Maybe Holl + a 3rd + 4th. Otherwise I wouldn't touch that.

He is also a rental. It would be utter lunacy to give up that package for him.

Are the Leafs goal to win now or in 3 years? Not sure if you heard about that announcement, but the Leafs admitted to being in "cup or bust" this season

You're right. While we're at it lets trade Robbie and Amirov for Palmieri. That'll be worth it.
It is amazing how all of your takes are this bad.

Nylander could score 100 goals this season and this guy would be complaining about Nylander having more game winning goals than hits.

You clearly don't know who Savard is. Savard is a right sided version of Muzzin in which the Leafs need. If you don't remember, look at what package we gave up for Muzzin

I could care less how many goals he scored. You don't win playoff round's with Melanders and floaters on your team.

He is not even close to Muzzin. The RHD Muzzin doesn't exist, but the closest would be a less offensive Petry.

the game is about which team scores the most goals. If you have players that score lots of goals, you win. Therefore, you win playoff rounds with players who score goals, such as Nylander. Tough concept, I know.

How do you keep managing to change your avatar? I’ve tried loading my pic but the screen keeps buffering.

How many rounds have the Leafs won with Nylander? Exactly. You don't win playoff rounds with Nylander's on your team

Nylander could score 30 goals on route to a consmythe trophy and you would say you don't win in the playoffs with melander. It's ridiculous

Anderson has won one playoff round. And it was because of Panarin, Duchene, Bobrovsky, etc. Not because your big playoff performer Anderson scored 3 points in 10 games.

Barkov has never won a playoff series. Would you rather Anderson than Barkov?

Why blame it all on Nylander? Matthews and Marner haven't won a single playoff round either. By that logic just trade the entire core.

Matthews plays good defence and Marner isn’t horrific defensively. Not gonna win a Selke but he can at least hold his own
