Thread: Buying Nylander
I would take strome and a first in a heartbeat for Nylander, it secures the second line center or even the third and a great addition to Tavares, Marner, Matthews, I think it's absolutely imperative that the Leafs resign Domi and Bertuzzi even though I haven't seen a game yet lol I think Nylander is actually going to fall by the waist side a bit with adding Bertuzzi and Domi

Nylander loves to hang out in California in his personal time he post it on social media from what I've heard, people are sleeping on the ducks big time they are coming up for sure that's why I also think Gibson should get his head on straight that team is getting good and I believe zegras for sure gets $8+M and I would think Nylander would love to join that team and help them big time

Overall people can complain about the Nylander discussion and talk about resigning him in Toronto but at the end of the day Toronto needs to make a big move to try and get more serious in the playoffs Nylander has been great but Marner, Matthews, Tavares, Reilly are staying put so Nylander is the sacrificial lamb and it is what it is.

Thread: Buying Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ritzy</b></div><div>Toronto can afford to extend him, I don't see why this is an argument. His extension doesn't kick in until next year, where they currently have nearly 47M to play with.</div></div>

Have enough money currently to sign him vs realistically can afford to spend that amount on him are two very different things. Toronto's had difficulty filling out a complete 23 man roster with adequate depth for years because too much of the cap was dedicated to the core 4. That continues to be an issue if you keep Nylander near his asking price.

"We've got 47 million" ignors the fact that Matthews number isn't locked in yet, and the fact that that 47 million needs to buy, in additions to Matthews, 6 more forwards, 4 more defensemen, and a starting goalie.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>This is a very good package, idk how you could be doubting this at all especially if its for a goalie... look at the value teams are scoffing at for Helle.... take this and run!</div></div>

Teams arent scoffing at the Helle return, fans are. And that’s likely because Helle is an expiring UFA and is reportedly asking for 8-9m+ on his next contract. He shot himself and Winnipeg in the foot with that one.

Saros has two seasons left, and is arguably better than Hellebuyck. He also didn’t say anything (yet, at least) about wanting a massive paycheque for his next deal. This package is meh. Berggren is the only really exciting piece coming back. The 2026 first is irrelevant to our needs as it’s 3 draft classes away, Veleno is a 4C and Buium isn’t great, but he’s fine I guess. I don’t hold Husso having a lot of value here because he needs to come back to make it work and we’re essentially just downgrading between the pipes.

Stevie Y isn’t going to move the pieces Nashville would want in return for Saros. But, Rob Blake <em>almost</em>
did. This doesn’t work for either team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyScotty</b></div><div>How low would they go on Fabbro for a draft pick do you think? I thought about a 2nd rounder but he was a mid-first pick himself and has been a top 4 defender in the league for a number of years now. He is still under team control as an RFA as well.

I can't believe he isn't one of the most sought after trade options given his contract, being right-handed, and a good two-way player.</div></div>

There is some weird push from some NSH fans that say he isn't that good because he isn't the top D man to pair with Josi they thought he was, so some people might say a 2nd or 3rd, but realistically the lowest NSH would probably go, for a single pick, would be a high to mid 2nd round pick for Fabbro. Given where COL is likely to end up, a low first round pick is about right especially considering NSH needs to take on MacDermid to make the money work. As you said, he is a really solid 2-way D who is top 4 for most teams. NSH has just been blessed to be a D production powerhouse over the last 10-15 years and fans have grown accustom to it.
