Thread: I feel like Carolina is the only workable Nylander landing spot
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>Yes haisey and gardiner are gone next year. But certainly no problems Reilly dermott sandin zaitsev liljegren and ozhiganov. Pesce would be a great addition.</div></div>

So out of those only rielly and pesce are sure fire things. And pesce is really the only one good at defense. Sandin is still young and is purely an offensive dman, Dermott is strictly an offensive dman and is just okay at best, zaitsev is awful lol and is nowhere near that contract he got, liligren might be okay and the Russian dude again is okay at best. So this defense is still pretty bad going forward and it's even younger and than what happens when they start wanting money? Lol again pesce is a short term help not long term

Thread: Nylander trade almost feels impossible
The issue with most nylander based trades is they all want premier offensive dmen who have pretty decent cap hits. So that does nothing for the cap issue in Toronto going forward. And you can say oh well gardiner and hainsey will go and Horton on LTIR but that still leaves the leaf with no dmen and you still got alot of other players to tender as well. So sadly I don't think Toronto will get a huge win in a trade for nylander that they'd like. Their best case scenario trade is for someone like santini who is a shutdown guy, young, and under a great contract for 3 years who can play on the second pairing. You get him, someone like rielly Walsh a 1st and another piece and that's what you're looking at. It works for the leafs for the cap going forward, they get a good young dman who can shutdown, a quality offensive dman in the system a first and another piece

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Smitty426</b></div><div>Butcher/Smith + will be the ask, deservedly so. I am not interested. He's worth it but we are just getting an idea of what the D will be.
Sign Ebs in the off-season to wing with Hall and Nico.
Grab Duchene at the TDL and were set! Now try and pay them all!

Hall/Nico/Ebs
Wood/Duchene/Palms
Marjo/Zacha/Bratt
Texas1/Zajac/Texas2
Boyle/Q</div></div>

Smith is a non starter and that can be worked around. And they don't need another impact offensive dman they need a young shutdown guy who's cost controlled for cheap. They need a dman to play now and Walsh can be something they work with to throw in in a year or two. That's why this deal makes sense for them for now and the future and it's all cost controlled

Thread: Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaners79</b></div><div>I actually think that's a fair deal. Santini is a good defenseman with no real flair, just a reliable guy. Then you have Walsh who has been getting praised in Harvard as a puck moving D man. Throw in a first and I think you have a pretty good outline for a trade. The thing that really gets me is leaf fans want the world for Nylander....but won't give him anywhere near what he's looking for. So what is he to the Leafs? They seem to be thinking he's not worth paying that kinda money for putting up 60 points. Maybe he is thinking he wants a contract like 8 million because he sees himself as a comparison to someone like Tarasenko.</div></div>

Yeah I threw a first into that cause a first will be In every deal. Leaf fans also have to remember that and big name dman they want to help them now still won't help their cap situation and they need a young shutdown guy not another offensive dman. At least Walsh gives them a solid prospect on defense who could grow with them and shows real promise. And they get santini for 3 years at a little over a mil. Now dubas' may want a more high end dman or prospect, but they can't afford more high end now and they are a win now team so prospects don't do anything for them.
