Nylander is on a great contract and worth twice the value of Bertuzzi

What exactly is this glaring need for both teams?

Prepare for some hate this will piss them off the Toronto fans.

The Leafs glaring need to lose a zone entry expert and get injury prone maybe?

You realize that it is possible to disagree without it being hate right? Or are you one of those "special ones" who just wants to take a shot at anything Leaf related...just curious.

You know in a non-hate pleasant sort of way.

Really?????

The funny thing is I actually got that line from a Leafs fan.

Lol but clearly not how you expected from your nonsensical post...not even close. The thing is I guess you kinda failed?

See, i am pointing out the stupidity of your post...you know that sort of thing?

Even as a Red wings fan you should be able to recognize that the Leafs would be fleeced so much that dubas would be fired. By the way I'm so sorry for your teams lack of success in your lifetime.

Wings have several needs, scoring wingers, Top 2 center, star defenzeman.

Toronto needs only one thing a player with heart that can go into corners, plays hard almost all the time and a true leader.

Bertuzzi is good but not all these things. While I would make the deal as a Wings fan, but highly doubt Leafs make this deal.

Assessment is that Toronto needs to (use the catch phrase) "become tougher to play against". Bertuzzi would provide a move physical presence in Toronto's line-up, while Nylander provides improved offense from Detroit perspective. Now that Bertuzzi has signed his deal, he has a known cost, so this deal also provides Toronto $2M+ cap relief and a 2022 Draft pick. Interesting how all I read after the Leafs were eliminated from playoffs was that they were too skilled and lacked grit (especially harsh against Marner). This is just my suggestion, you are free to provide your own proposal!

The odds of Nylander being dealt at all are slim, but if it were to happen... it would be for D, NOT another winger
