<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>FlamesBlow</b></div><div>So in that video you linked theyre is no mention of the trade being straight across, he said that the blues would be interested in Nylander and would be willing to include Petro, not that it would be one for one. I dont see how its a fetish to go against the hive mind that Toronto can get any player they want and William "2 points" Nylander is worth a top 10 NHL Dman by himself. Give me a break man .</div></div>

Well...it's phrased as Pietrangelo being a piece in a trade for Nylander....so true...could mean that St. Louis wanted Toronto to add...could mean that they were willing to add...likely scenario is that St. Louis saw the two players as being close enough in value that they would be the main components in a trade. I just think you're off base in suggesting that the thought the two players are close in value is such a pipe dream.

IMO...Pietrangelo is the much more desirable asset today, but Nylander is the much more desirable asset as soon as 1.5 seasons from now (depending on what AP re-signs for).

I do agree that, as of today, Nylander's value has taken a hit since re-signing given that his cap hit is almost $7m and he hasn't gotten up to speed yet....and it would be dumb, I think, for the leafs to either try and trade him now...OR for a team to trade for him. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't see the 'real' Nylander until next year as some ex players say that missing training camp and 20+ games makes it impossible to ever get back up to speed that season.

But, if Friedman is giving accurate information, the St. Louis Blues disagree that Nylander for Pietrangelo is an unfair swap.
