Thread: Toronto trade
I like the idea of getting Nylander because of the offensive upside he would for sure bring to that top line but, Calgary most likely wouldn’t trade Tkachuk for Nylander straight up Aswel as Hamilton for a late 1st round pick a top 9 toward that might be a fringe top 6 forward and a decent defensive prospect. Leafs fans may think that this is crazy but Tkachuk just brings to much to the table for Calgary to pretty much just swap him, since the new year he really started coming into his own and really showed he almost is and for sure will be the heart of the team, he hits, blocks shots, scores, passes, has remarkable skill that not a lot of people who arnt flames fans see, aswell as being a pest out there. I’m not saying Nylander doesn’t have heart but I am saying he wouldn’t be as impactful to the Calgary flames as Tkachuk is. Hamilton is a legit RHD that should usually get around 50 points and currently leads the leauge in goals for a defenceman, But sure he isn’t the best defender or is to soft but he’s still 24 and still has time to develop into a legitament top all around defenceman, so a decent top9/6 forward, a late first, and a defensive product for that doesn’t sound that amazing for me. But who knows, I’m not brad treliving so what do I know.

Thread: Doughty
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>how can you say this is a fair trade? There is no way the leafs would trade a potential franchise player in nylander, potential no.1 defence an in liljegen and a no.1 pick for the older drew doughty.
My guess is leafs might try to acquire doughty at 2018-2019 trade deadline before he becomes a ufa as a rental for playoffs for something reasonable in terms of prospects and picks.</div></div>

To me a franchise player is a player that can lead his team year in and year out and Don't get me wrong here, I like Nylander and he is my favourite leaf but to say he will be a franchise player like a Mcdavid or like a Crosby is a bit of a stretch, or even being the best leaf. Liljegren is a great prospect but leafs fans don't realize that prospects don't drop from being ranked top 3 in the draft to 17th because of having mono there was a clear reason why other teams didn't take him high. I see liljgren being a top 4 pp speacilist but I don't see him really being able to carry a defence on the PK or 5 on 5. You can say that adding the first round pick is to much but you see how much RHD go for on the market aswell as Doughty being a future Hall of famer that is currently in his prime, so your gonna have to give up a lot to get him.
