Explain why a win now team ahead of the Sens in the same division would trade an elite offensive player who is in the middle of his prime, for a bubble defenceman, and two prospects that never will be as good as Nylander? Then you can understand why TO passes.

Boucher is a bust, Sokolovs ceiling is middle 6 forward, brannstrom is a 3rd pairing d man that shoots left. The only thing of value is the first round pick, the leafs pass

Yeah I’d probably do it

damn calm down. he's 21. he didn't even play 10 games in the ahl. 0 knowledge.

Why? What does this do for TO?

The Sens don't have anything to entice the Leafs to trade Nylander to a far weaker opponent in the same division

He didn't even perform all that well in the OHL.

Well they do, but they wouldn't make that trade.

Who?

Arizona and Toronto accept.

Vegas does not.

oh nah ripnasty is mad. basic leafs fan getting mad at the nylander trade proposition that is not heavily loopsided to the leafs side. probably thinks the isles will need to give barzal for him

Stutzle, Norris, Tkachuk, Chabot, Chychrun, Sanderson. The only realistic target in a Nylander trade would be Greig and Pinto

Boucher is a bust, Sokolov is ok, Brannstrom is a bottom pairing d. It isn’t close to Nylander. You would have to add Pinto or Greig

Leafs wouldn't do Chychrun for Nylander... Same with Norris and the other 4 would be part of the Sens core

That’s insanity!!! Norris is way cheaper and he isn’t that much worse. You arr never going to get back a player as good as Nylander in a Nylander trade.

tyler boucher is as middle of the road a prospect as you can get, every team has a dozen of them that they drafted in the 3rd or later round. He was a terrible pick and has incredibly minimal value and Branstrom is looking like a bottom pairing guy right now unless he makes massive strides.
Saying this is "Nylander for 3 firsts" is hilariously disingenuous.

Way cheaper? Norris is making 8 mill... Nylander will get about 9.5... And Norris hasn't played 70 games in a season yet either and hasn't score 40 and hasn't been near a PPG yet! Why would the Leafs trade Nylander for someone like that who will sewer their cap just like the cap trouble the Sens are in right now?

3 decent prospects and a first and a second

Except he's right this time. Total quantity over quality, this offer gets beaten by several teams.

BTW are we to take it that you assume Batherson is guilty and headed for a suspension? Are we sure they get full cap relief on that?

Branstrom is 24 in less than a week, he's not a prospect any more and and he's basically a bottom roster player and Boucher wouldnt even be top 15 in Leafs prospects, and that's not because the leafs have good prospects

So let me get this straight: Sens fans and Leafs fans are arguing over a trade made by…HabsRTheBest.

This is a false-flag operation if I’ve ever seen one.

Value aside I just think they can get a package better suited to their needs for Nylander than this.

Exept Boucher is not good and was he biggest reach ever. Draft pedigree does not mean ****. 0 knowledge

Again, you will never get someone as good as Nylander in a 1 for 1. There is no way you have the money to afford him. Ottawa won’t trade their elite C for a 85 pts winger who wants 10m.

Yeah, and the Leafs won't trade for an injury prone guy making 8 mill... It doesn't have to be someone as good as Nylander, but it won't be someone who will sewer the Leafs' cap space either
