There’s a 0 % chance nashville does this and turns themselves into the new Arizona

So Ik you said it not necessarily STL but I can tell you for a fact this doesn’t come close to getting Parayko

It would be smarter to trade Nylander for anything then go after like Mayfeild in FA

Also Pulock is a big Body defensive RD, Zaitzev and ceci too, Uh Whitecloud is sorta, and Zub oh and tanev

Good luck getting any of those guys (aside from zaitzev)

Nylander mostly likely wants 9M+ and there's no reason for him to agree to an extension unless he wants to be in STL considering he wants to stay in Toronto

This was mostly for fun and just wanted names for future reference. I also get most of the trades were bad and do you think NYI would do that swap?

I don't think they need more cap space so they aren't going to eat that much cap on him. They also have to be interested in Robertson.

Edit: Nvm you said NYI 😂. I think an Isles deal would require multiple players and futures being involved, like Liljegren from the Leafs and Nelson or Pageau from NY.

Pesce is probably the only guy that they could get that is good enough

Nylander has probably passed the threshold of being a player that you would be content with trading for just a top 4 defenceman. Maybe value-wise, especially considering Nylander has 1 year left, it would make a fair deal. But solid top-4 D like Parayko can be acquired for much less than giving up a full year of an elite top-6 40 goal scoring winger on a bargain contract.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather just treat Nylander as a self-rental instead of swapping him for a top 4 D. If we want a top 4 D we can just trade for one without including Nylander and then just ice the best roster possible. We're pretty much trading futures for a full year of Nylander, which is fine, since those futures likely would've been used on a much worse player at the TDL anyways. Either way, I'm not saying this is what the Leafs should do, but in the case of swapping him for a top-4 D, this is what I'd rather do instead.

I mostly want that big guy defensive minded for Rielly bc if you think about his best play has been with Ron Hainsey bc he was so good defensively and Schenn was a beast with him in the 1st rd but realistically he won't be good enough to play all year on the top line lol. So that's why I want a guy like that. So if you guys have any names please comment. Cheaper the better ofc and what's the price. Or do you think Mayfield could be that guy?

If you want a guy that would compliment Rielly then Mayfield would be a good short-term option (he's already 30). But it's important to note that Rielly isn't a true #1 guy and trying to force him into that role because he's "supposed" to be that guy isn't a good idea.

That is dead on abt Rielly and ideally we get another 2nd pair guy and Mccabe 3rd pair is better for a SCF team and sign Schenn to play 3rd pair ideally

NSH declines and blocks your number. There is no way you get McDonagh with that much retention for that little in return.
