If this wasn’t happening in 2018, why would it happen now? Besides, where did you see that Pesce was available?

I see you're yet another delusional Leaf's fan... that trade isn't happening

Seems like carolina should definitely do the toronto trade

What is Nylander’s rumored extension? That plays a big factor here.

The Willie/Pesce trades go back 5 years. Willie Wonka and the Pesce Factory. This is the newest version. Expect the latest CFACGM sequels to WeegarMania and Crouse of The Dragon this summer from Leafs fans.

Game of Doans. Crouse of the Dragon.

Pesce is number 9 on The Athletic’s trade board this offseason. Don’t comment bs without doing a little bit of research.

I mean he might be traded but not for any Leafs player unless their name is Auston Matthews. I haven't hear anything about rumors from the Hurricanes camp about Pesce being on the market

There isn’t much on that right now and I’d agree that is a big factor. My guess is in the 8x9 range.

Wow okay. Great player and I know Canes fans love him but I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.

Not a one for one but the only person on the Leafs the hurricanes would be willing to deal roster players for is Auston Matthews

Let’s say Pesce is a little out of the Hurricanes price range and they decide they are going to trade him. Who do you seriously think is better than Nylander that’s going to be available? Maybe Keller but I don’t know that he’s available and the Yotes wouldn’t want someone that old. Maybe DeBrincat? I might be biased but I would lean towards Nylander there. Point is you aren’t going to find a players better than Nylander out there. Let alone Marner which I guess isn’t good enough for Brett Pesce either in your opinion.

The athletic has all the reliability of a broken paintball gun

Ok? I mean can you name some instances where they have reported false information? Who else would you consider more credible lmao

Just look at page 1 of the off-season thread, that should tell you something

Im hesitant at that price as we just spent our available money on a guy that is only half a solution to our big bodied scorer need. It isn’t that Nylander isn’t worth it or it isn’t a good deal. Just would be tough to work

Elaborate

In 2018, Carolina offered Pesce and TO countered with Slavin . Because Pesce in no way was ever worth Nylander. It's even more apparent now than it was then. A point a game star offensive player is worth more than a 2nd pair defenceman.

You are right, because Nylander is worth a lot more than a 30 point 2nd pair defenceman. A small depth forward and a 3rd doesn't get remotely close to making up the difference. You leaf haters are ridiculous. Would rather see your team worse than make a fair offer for a better player.

Except its non leaf fans doing most of the posting. "But he has leaf in his user name!" Nope just a troll

Do some research yourself. A point a game super star is worth a lot more than a small depth forward, a 30 point defenceman and a 3rd. This makes TO significantly worse

Sure. Whatever you have to tell yourself.

Calls leaf fans delusion and then expects Matthews for pesce? Insanity

It's clear as day. But the trolls love anyone who claims to be a leaf fan and then offers up terrible trades TO loses. Case in point this proposed trade.

A smart GM would be after more than just Matthews, but like all your kind, the only trade you find fair with TO is one you win by such a large margin that it would go down as the worst ever trade in any sport ever. And you'd still say it's an overpay. Like this above trade is such a massive win for you and it's somehow not enough.
