<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Nylander was very much in play for the Canes until money got involved. IMO - Leafs paid too much...they are going to have to move things now to make it all work. Likely Kapanen and taking a bath on that terrible Zaitsev contract.

Not arguing the fit for Kapanen, actually I’ve wanted that to happen for a long time. His dad was a Whaler/Cane too. He fits a need, just don’t think it’s Pesce.

Canes package TVR plus salary, picks, prospects is likely the best being offered</div></div>

So your basically backing up my point. Carolina fans would be excited too have Kapanen, and I'm sure he would be a great forward and help them out greatly. They could sign him to a bridge contract for 3 years, and see how he does. I do see how I could have added a 2nd to the trade.

I even like TVR and a package for him.

Thread: Realistic ideas Read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>littlejerryseinfeld</b></div><div>Let Gardiner go and sign a cheap vet defenseman to bridge to the young guys. It barely fits, but then Marleau will be done after 1 year

Still think Matthews gets more, but I know that is not a universal opinion</div></div>

That's what I was thinking in the first place, let Gardiner go and bring in one of the veteran players I mentioned for a year. What do you think Matthews should get <a href="/users/littlejerryseinfeld" target="_blank">@littlejerryseinfeld</a> ? I could see him get more then McDavid too because of the market he's in.

I guess peoples thoughts vary by subject lol... <a href="/users/palhal" target="_blank">@palhal</a>
I get reality, I can't see Gardiner as a Leaf after this season too, but it's the effort of trying to keep some chemistry and to make Gardiner better. Even if he takes a bigger cut, the team could work. Who do you thhink should be there?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptainFlynnt</b></div><div>Hudon scored at a pace of 34 points last year, Kapanen scored at a pace of 19 pts. Kapanen broke out this year playing with Matthews while Nylander wasn't playing, Hudon would put up points playing with Matthews too. Yes, Kapanen is better than Hudon but I dont think Kapanen is a special player. Hudon would help replace Kapanens spot on Forward and Petry would solve TOR's defensive issues, it's a no brainer for Toronto.</div></div>

I was gonna type out a big slur about comparing points, but Hudon will be on pace for 30 ponits if he keeps it up. I just find that Hudon will get a tad better then he is now and that's it. Toronto could sign Kapanen to a nice bridge contract and Kapanen could grow to a 60+ point player regardless if he plays with Matthews or not. I went to watch Toronto last year (they Boston and NY Islanders, they won both games and Matthews got hurt vs Boston), I found Kapanen was by far one of the best players on the ice alongside Marner. He had a bunch of chances and he plays very well defensively. You may not think he's special, but you can't tell say that Hudon can replace or would help replace Kapanen.
Hudon would be tossed on the third or fourth line, Petry would play very nicely with Rielly.
