Thread: Leafs Can Stop Sucking I hope
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrisBeKreame</b></div><div>I didnt say anything about Marners value, just that I wouldnt do the trade 1 for 1. However I was implying that its not out of the ball park value wise. I think higher than Nylander, Lower than Marner. Im not sure that Nylander can play in Trotz's style. Trotz and Lou ask you to sacrifice personal for team. If you can buy in you can thrive, if not you sink. The Islanders do have too much D, right now its a LHD abundance until Dobson can take a top 4 spot, then it will be a RHD abundance. Pulock and Mayfield are 2 very important pieces for the team right now, niether one can be replaced internally till Dobson is ready.
I dont think the Islanders will do anything short term with Pulock, I think you go short with Barzal and long with Pulock. Barzal will play against the short term deal while hoping for a bigger contract after the Covid affected CAP ends. 3 years or less at 7-8 Million now, 9-10 later.</div></div>

Alright you have me sold on what you're saying. And as for Nylander, I wish you were wrong. Seriously he has potential to be a star, I just don't understand him sometimes. Maybe Torts can get to him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jeeerrd</b></div><div>I dont know if thats underpriced for Nylander. 2 firsts is a lot for any team to give up. Nylander is a good winger but I cant think of a player the has been traded for 2 first round picks.</div></div>

It's not just two 1sts for Nylander, it's a 2nd back. So to be honest, I think a poor team would take this trade a lot more eagerly. I was trying to think of someone like Florida or Arizona. Reason being is they're poor and most of his salary has been paid for the remainder of the contract. I only picked Chicago because his brother is there. But after discussions in this thread, I honestly believe he'd reach his potential under some hard ass like Trotz or Torts. Nylander is a sick player, but dear god can he be a lazy sh**.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrisBeKreame</b></div><div>First off you dont know me, so you cant say Im just another fanboy, Look at some of the Islanders AGMs you can see that many others are saying the same thing for his AAV. As for trade value, Pulock vs Nylander is close but I would always put the edge towards RHD over wingers. As far as the Pulock Vs Marner, Marner comes with a cap hit of 11M that the Islanders can in no way fit. The Value is not there for trading Pulock as they have no way to replace him. By the way, several AGMs between Jets and Islanders fans talked about Kyle Conner for Pulock straight up. The Islanders should not do that either because thier defense is too important to thier game.</div></div>

It's one thing to say Marner doesn't fit your team, it's another to say they're worth the same. We'll see what happens but I think Pulock signs a 2 year deal. I'll take your word for it that it'll still be 6-6.5M. I'm not sure if Nylander would be a good comp then, Nylander still has a lot of upside. And holy **** would he do well under Trotz. Scare the lazy out of his bones. As for your D game, I've heard Islanders fans split on this. You guys have too much D and need offensive help.

I will say, based on what you're saying, I see what you're saying about the value here being way too low. Thanks
