<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nightowl26</b></div><div>Not moving Brazal a center for a 11M+ per year winger. I know Brazal is technically playing wing now. But he's the playmaker on that line and has the puck most of the time. It's easier to find a scoring winger than a player like Brazal.

Brazal is not a goal scorer so when you say do I want Nylander at 23 goals to Brazal's 13 goals. Nylander does not create for other linemates, he needs a playmaker on his wing.</div></div>

I’d have to disagree. Fair enough for case you made for Barzal. But Nylander is a playmaker. He is just shooting the puck so much and carrying Tavares and Bertuzzi on the second line. But when he plays with Matthews he becomes a playmaker. Thats another argument for Nylander… he is getting that many points by himself on second line minutes.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>One great trade for the Leafs...getting Pavelski, who doesn't waive to the Leafs. Gee that puts Dallas well over the cap.
On overpay for to acquire Hanifan....just an unneeded position to upgrade also.</div></div>

I would assume Dallas would willingly make the trade and make trades after with other teams to become cap compliant since they are getting Nylander who is better and younger then Pavelski (plus if he resign thats 8 years of Nylander, compared to 1 or 2 years of Pavelski). And as for the Hanifan trade I overpayed to get them to make the trade, and I was also thinking value can always be regained through free-agency when you got the cap (without the players playing in a location preference factor). These trades make room for free-agency moves the followng years, while making Toronto cap compliant for 2024.
