Nylander for Oshie

Created by: GarthBrooks
Team: 2022-23 Toronto Maple Leafs
Initial Creation Date: May 14, 2022
Published: May 15, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Nylander and Tavares together consistently couldn’t be trusted defensively and then if we put Robertson on that line it would be worse. Tavares alone is good defensively, Oshie’s better than Nylander defensively, that allows Robertson to slide into the wing to help offensively. Robertson doesn’t work in the bottom 6, he’s too small (similar situation to ABB in Tampa) so we’d just never play him or not play him effectively.

Via this, we’d have to let some of these guys walk to make the cap work in 2023. Knies slides in for Hathaway, maybe Steeves for Kampf, Lijigren for Soucy then Neimala 3rd RD, etc.

That's a massive overpay for Soucy.....who so so many think all the Seattle Dmen are all stars? Trading Nylander for cap space is fine, but not for 5.75m Oshie.

He had 6 goals in 6 games in the playoffs. We don’t need to be the top scoring team in the league every year just score the right way. Plus now Robertson can play there instead of creating the worst defensive line in the league

He had 10 goals this season. He’s big, he can skate and has a big shot from the point which the leafs don’t really have

If Im trading Nylander I either want

A similar aged star

2 solid top 9 depth wings

or a top 4 RD

I like Oshie but hes old man and is at that drop off age

Would not do this

It's a ridiculous overpay for one year of Soucy

I agree best case scenario but I really don’t think Nashville will trade Jeannot like some of these ACGMs are using cause he’s cheap and has team control vs Nylander who is a UFA in 2 years and clearly beats to his own drum. If you can think of something I’ll check it out

He’s got a good contract, RD, big, and there’s the flat cap. Maybe take out the first round pick

There are some options but it all depends on who is interested and what they are willing to give

As Nylander this season had

34 goals and 46 assists in 81 NHL games and in the post season 3 goals 4 assists 7 points


So the price arguably will be high and any team wanting him is gonna have to give to get.

Now some teams who could have interest

LA, NJ, Nashville, Seattle, Columbus, NYI, etc.

There are plenty of different scenarios and options but the thing is its all gonna come down to is this trade guaranteed to make Toronto better. As if its not then moving Nylander could end up being a terrible mistake

Nylander had more points and wont heavily decline like oshie will, and if robetson is so good defensively then he can just play with nylander and tavares.
Also lol as the worst defensive line in the league. They arnt even top 30
