Neither team accepts. Not enough for the Leafs to consider. Anaheim should be giving away much for a pending UFA.

Zegras and Terry both get more. 7 x 7 seems perfect for Terry. I would look at the Caufield extension for Zegras. But 5.5m could be fine on a 2 year deal.

Good job trying something new, but I personally don't see it for either team.

I can tell you Anaheim fans will be very happy you didn't include McTavish, like so many Leaf fans foolishly do.

To acquire him with an extension (that Toronto assumingly couldn't afford) in place and being done this season, before the TDL, I could see something near this. I think a trade would revolve around Strome, one of Ana's wing prospects like Tracey or Perrault, and a pick.

I don't see us offering a first, because as stated, few teams looks to be able to afford his salary ask, so who are we really competing with? Chicago maybe?

I could really only see this happening if Toronto completely falls apart and is in the outside looking in, I think Willy gets used as a self rental and walks as a UFA.

If this is the best TO can get for Nylander there is no choice but to extend him and keep him. This is a trash return

Toronto can afford his salary ask. And he'll sign in the 9's. Also he is worth so much more than Strome and Tracey and a couple of future picks. The anti leaf bias is strong here.

Toronto can afford to extend him, I don't see why this is an argument. His extension doesn't kick in until next year, where they currently have nearly 47M to play with.

Have enough money currently to sign him vs realistically can afford to spend that amount on him are two very different things. Toronto's had difficulty filling out a complete 23 man roster with adequate depth for years because too much of the cap was dedicated to the core 4. That continues to be an issue if you keep Nylander near his asking price.

"We've got 47 million" ignors the fact that Matthews number isn't locked in yet, and the fact that that 47 million needs to buy, in additions to Matthews, 6 more forwards, 4 more defensemen, and a starting goalie.

Why do the Leafs want Ryan Strome

Buy Nylander when he is a free agent, trading for him is dumb right now

Let's call it 23M between Matthews and Nylander for next season. Give or take a couple of bucks seeing as all we have right now is speculation.

That leaves 23.6M to fill out 4 more forwards, 4 defenseman, and yes a starting goalie. Who knows what happens with Sammy this year, but let's call it 5M for giggles at the moment.

Now there's 18.6M for 8 roster spots. Factor in a few ELC's/minimum wage signings and this should be plenty. I think Bertuzzi is just here for the one season, meaning his likely around 7M long term deal won't be on the books.

I'm not saying this is an ideal scenario, but I'd prefer the GM to play cap gymnastics than to trade a star player for pennies on the dollar.

This offer just simply has no value to Toronto and what they’re trying to do.

IF they trade Nylander, the main piece has to be a defenceman. Strome is a an average middle 6 guy that can not be the main piece for an elite talent like Nylander or it’s a massive L for Toronto. Tracey wouldn’t really have much value to add - he’s a former 1st round pick that’s already 22 and has only 1 NHL game to his name. He can’t crack a weak Anaheim lineup and hasn’t dominated the AHL either, it’s getting near that “put up or shut up” territory - which is nearing the bust label. The only interesting piece is the 1st round pick and that’s only if it’s a top 5 pick. But still, Toronto isn’t looking to rebuild and a top 5 pick next draft doesn’t immediately step into the lineup for them.

Realistically, Anaheim and Toronto don’t match up that well for a trade. The Ducks aren’t in a spot to add a player in his prime yet, and they don’t have the pieces for a Nylander deal (they’re not dealing the likes of Zegras, Drysdale, Carlsson, etc.). The only exception might be if Toronto is high on McTavish (which I know they are) but the second piece would be a wildcard to add in and even then McTavish comes with a lot of risks because he still isn’t established in the NHL yet. Maybe something like McTavish + Helleson + top 10 protected 1st MIGHT be a starter package, but even then there’s questions about Helleson as a big part of the deal. Likely Nylander would go elsewhere

I would take strome and a first in a heartbeat for Nylander, it secures the second line center or even the third and a great addition to Tavares, Marner, Matthews, I think it's absolutely imperative that the Leafs resign Domi and Bertuzzi even though I haven't seen a game yet lol I think Nylander is actually going to fall by the waist side a bit with adding Bertuzzi and Domi

Nylander loves to hang out in California in his personal time he post it on social media from what I've heard, people are sleeping on the ducks big time they are coming up for sure that's why I also think Gibson should get his head on straight that team is getting good and I believe zegras for sure gets $8+M and I would think Nylander would love to join that team and help them big time

Overall people can complain about the Nylander discussion and talk about resigning him in Toronto but at the end of the day Toronto needs to make a big move to try and get more serious in the playoffs Nylander has been great but Marner, Matthews, Tavares, Reilly are staying put so Nylander is the sacrificial lamb and it is what it is.

I think with the money available and how good their young guys are through a few years in the league now they are in the exact right spot to add a big player, Silverberg and Henrique are on expiring contracts like tarasenkos, pat Kane would be ingenious signings in my opinion.

He's young, he's good, he has a reasonable contract and he plays center, I think he's from Ontario as well.

They’re interested in Nylander - and they’ve called to have talks about him. But again Toronto is looking for a defenceman to build their defence for around. Anaheim doesn’t have many guys Toronto would be interested in for that. Outside of Drysdale (doesn’t fit Treliving’s style of play), there really isn’t anyone enticing enough for Nylander’s value

Young? He’s 30. That’s not hockey young. (Sorry to everyone on here that’s in their 30’s lol)

Oh really ok that's very interesting that they've called about him well I smell a 3 way deal including a defenseman going back the Leafs way then...hmm ok.

Hey man, take it easy.

Haha oh man I mixed him up with Dylan strome he's the guy I want from Washington oh gosh ok I reverse everything I said I'm out on the deal lol

Hey I’m 31 soon so I identify with that age group too

I prefer to be labelled "wise" as opposed to old. Mind you my back would say otherwise.

Strome's 30... that's not young for an NHL player

He's not young. Nor good. Nor worth his cap hit

Not for that you aren’t

We return off drysdale and mctavish
