Yeah as valuable as Willy is, this really isn't far off. I say that as a Leafs fan. This would definitely open up a lot of other possibilities.


Ya I tried it with LA first cuz was gonna have a great title…Willy Goes to Hollywood…but couldn’t make it work…
Vancouver is possible but not the same as Vegas

I mean I really think that Vegas and Toronto could help each other.

Funny though everyone crushed Willy trades a month ago when they also said he wasn’t even worth 9M…we don’t want him etc they barked…now?

Yeah. Willy is obviously worth a lot, but this a lot. I took a stab at some supplementary moves the Leafs could make after this for fun:

100% you said the same thing about Matthews


I mean ok i guess sign Nylander at 11M+ and have 4 players for 50% of the cap.. Same problem every years. Not talking about Matthews at 13.5M🤣

I explained it clearly above…re read

2 picks can mean the Leafs get Tanev and Zadorov or whatever else they think can help them meet Vegas in the final.

The fact you don’t value rings, I mean I am not gonna try and make sense of that for ya…that’s just silly.

Why would the leafs trade their best player for low value picks and a worse player, toronto isnt interested in what you offer at all and we'd rather move other people on the team to sign him than trade him for some older worse players

To yet again try and build a playoff team, one with proven winners.

Picks are flipped for part of a package for D like Tanev and Zadorov or even Larsson.
Pachal can play on 3rd pairing now.
Marchesault could be the missing link for the Leafs, a guy who scores big goals.
Roy is fierce.

Check a post from AFFECTIONATE_SIDE_64 who has a scenario where the Leafs expand on this trade.

We dont need a third paring defenseman or a b6 grinder because we already have a backlog on players that can play there (Timmins,Abruzzese,Minten,Cowan,Steeves) and nylander for marchessault is an absolutely awful trade for us because nylander has a better ppg in the playoffs anyways and marchessault is coming to the age where he could fall off a cliff out of nowhere. Winning a ring on a juggernaut team doesnt mean he will for us and while last year was impressive neither him or the first round pick move the needle, sorry.

You seriously can’t be comparing Roy and Steeves/Abruzzesse…ok nvmd

I think the Leaf team after this trade is a better playoff ready team then the current offering or certainly then those that have flopped in recent years…that’s all…and just having fun on here and showing that Vegas could take in a guy like Willy.

JT is getting a huge pay cut after next year. That's a disingenuous argument
