Wow, you think Nylander is worth Georgiev... Kakko... AND a first??? Ya'll Leaf fans wonder why you have a bad name...

Kakko's numbers have been disappointing so far in his short career. His career highlight is simply being selected 2nd overall. He's proven nothing so far. Georgiev's numbers were basically that of a decent backup last year. Nylander is a 1st line player that can play wing or Centre, in his prime on a good contract. He'd literally be your 2nd best forward after Panarin. So yeah, I threw a first in there too for him. The rangers should be good enough this year that it'll be a late 1st anyway.

So Toronto protected Holl for...?

If NYR gave up all that for Nylander you scoop it up in a heart beat. but NYR isnt that dumb and Leafs arent going to fleece a team like that sadly.

lmfao, and now Nylander is better than Zibanejad??? Man, you oughta watch some more games my friend. Not much more to say, your hockey IQ settles the argument itself

IDK. Your guess is as good as mine. Didn't understand Dubas' decision there. I don't think he's the sharpest knife in the drawer all the time to be honest.

I would have gone 7-3-1 as well but clearly he (and other league execs) value Holl. MacDermid didn't even make your roster and would need to go through waivers

Drury might be that dumb. Did you see the contract he gave Goodrow? lol

Holl #1 was protected due to the cap but for the obvious #2 reason....

Some one please tell me where you can replace 20+min per night 85-90% of those min will be decent non hidden from teams top 6 mostly starting in your D zone and after all said end up being a + player on the year..... oh ya and for 2 million per year.

The guy might not be a premier Defenseman .... but your getting a STEAL for the price per quality min played.

not all your D can be 60pt scorers

If he takes another step forward this season everyone is going to be saying the dude is a steal and to resign him for 3.5-4M X 4-6yrs while he is still under contract for 1 more year at 2mill.
