A failed prospect and a 2nd pair defenceman does not get a 27 year old point a game star player with more to give.

A PPG star that obviously doesn’t want to play in TOR without the $$

I think you mean an NHL player and a 1st paring defenseman on your team. The leafs are not going to get a good return for him considering they have little to no leverage in these trades considering their cap and the difference in contract negotations

Aho and Pesce must be dying to get out of Carolina eh? Weird how they haven't signed extensions yet but it's all cool but Nylander definitely wants out. All of that despite him saying he absolutely wants to stay in TO.

No, I mean exactly what I said. Pesce is not a 1st pair defenceman, he's a 2nd pair defenceman. Above average for sure but he's not a top pair guy. Nylander is without question a top line elite player that's worth way more than Pesce.

He's a first-pairing defenseman according to both the Athletics model and Jfresh's model (the last time I saw his card)... I don't what you're talking about him being a 2nd pairing defenseman
I agree that he's worth more but he's not going to get the kind of return they would optimally want considering the status of his contract negotiations

Which is what? That they are negotiating a contract? Because that is all that's happening. Why would Carolina get what they should for Pesce or Aho? Their negotiations are going no better than Nylander's.

According to all reports... the Aho extension is close to being done and I have no idea where the Pesce extension is. Carolina would get for they want for Pesce and Aho because they have enough cap space to have leverage over other teams and a willingness to use them as self-rentals.

I bet Pesce does want out if he not going to get his $$ from that org, discussions arent close, same with Nylander.

Aho is ready to sign 8x9.85 according to reports. Don’t know if you just stay on this website all day or you do some actual research everyone once n a while

Of course it's always easy for every other team eh? Get real. And all the reports on Nylander, or at least all the reliable ones say Nylander wants his deal to start with a 9 and the leafs want it to start with an 8. That's not really far apart. Willy wants to stay and the team wants him. Everything else is nonsense to fuel the fools on here who want to see TO burn. It's nothing but bs, makes no sense, is 100% transparent and you know it as well but you use it justify your dream of seeing Carolina completely screw TO.

That's fantastic news for the Leafs, takes a lot of wind out of Nylander's sails. He reportedly wants his contract to be in the 9's and the leafs want it in the 8's. If Aho signs in the 8's that'll take a lot of leverage away from Willy. Who once again, absolutely wants to stay in TO. All the 1 year deals Treliving is signing guys too also signifies he is planning on their extensions. The core isn't going anywhere, Shanahan has said as much. Both Matthews and Nylander will sign before the season starts.

I mean if they are so close why do I keep hearing about him being on the block and Nylander and the Leafs being so apart from Leafs beat reporters... when there is that much smoke there is fire. The hockey news said that Nylander wants $10m

You canes fans are cute 😂. The difference between being a fan / player in Carolina vs being a fan / player in Toronto is about 100 reporters. Canes are a small market team where hockey - and no offense, I appreciate all hockey fans - is 4th behind nfl, college football and nba. The Leafs are the biggest market team where hockey is unquestionably #1. Rumours, innuendo, etc comes with the territory - as RIPNasty said - literally no difference between nylander & Matthews contract status and Aho, Pesce. skjei except the former play in the centre of the hockey universe where everything is blown out of proportion.

It's not real reporting. It's speculation. Guys saying, I feel like Nylander will ask for as much as 10 million in no way means he wants that much money. Reports on the leafs are 99% speculation and click bait. Why are their reports daily? Because morons eat it up and dream of screwing the leafs. If any of you had the ability to just ignore speculation there wouldn't be any reports.

Yup I read the report, no facts, just CJ saying what he thinks and then blowing it out of proportion to get more attention. This is how sports reporting is done these days. It's total trash

That totally might be the truth... It's hard to parse what's true with the maple leafs reporting

Everybody is out to get the Leafs is such a hilarious take

Literally everything is always blown out of proportion by the TO media. It's why most you hate the leafs so much but it's also why you are a huge part of the problem. You guys eat up all the drama but root to see it come out as bad as possible. It's just a circle of bull****.

You want to win this big, everyone on here does and you are eating up every piece of drama to fuel your desire to see it break totally in your favor. That's what you're fed and thats what drives the clicks.
