not even close on the leafs deal.

nylander>horvat
kadri>>>>>>gudbranson
hyman>>virtanen

i wouldnt even do nylander kadri and hyman for horvat gudbranson and virtanen, but then you want the leafs to also give up marincin and 2 2nd rounders for free?

hyman virtanen is not a wash and kadri's contract costs as well. nylander (soft proven??) horvat solid 2nd line.

i am sorry i confused hyman for connor brown, so ill give you that one. but kadri has a cap hit of 4.5 mill and i would give horvat about 5 mill/season. plus Kadri's contract is very team friendly at 4.5 mill for a 60 point scorer. Nylander is proven with just over 100 games NHL exp and approx 75 points. nylander is a solid 2nd line if not 1st line forward. I will agree that horvat is a solid 2nd line forward.

Kadri minimal upside with a long term. cost a 2nd rd.
marincin and 2nd for virtanen
gudbrnason decent dman good value.

kadri just scored 61 points... hes only 26 years old. how is that "minimal upside"? hes worth way more than a 2nd rounder. im not gonna argue this anymore but i would suggest you look at the player stats for kadri & nylander, cause they are both better than horvat. Plus, since horvat is on a worse team his stats are boosted since his team relies more on him for offense (he has more TOI than kadri and nylander), whereas on toronto kadri and nylander get less TOI since they also rely on matthews, JVR, and marner for offense.

We wouldn't want Kadri after that cheap hit on Danny

Sorry but Horvat>Nylander any day of the week
