Thread: What would you pay for William Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bhunt333</b></div><div>the answer from all opposing fans will be , a 4th round pick and a 4th liner simply because nylander is a leaf</div></div>

It's absolutely ridiculous how much sh*t I've seen where opposing teams' fanbases undervalue our players and overvalue theirs. Like I saw a few minutes ago a trade proposal of Nylander, Roberston, and a 1st for Toffoli and Andersson, and Flames fans had said even removing Toffoli would be a no, like in what world is Andersson worth Nylander, Robertson, and a 1st. Give me a fkn break. It's absolutely absurd. And i just saw an Oilers fan try to dump Ceci and some AHLer for Toffoli. We're over here being told 80+pt guys are worth nothing meanwhile other teams are trading trash.

Thread: Leafs 2324
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>An impractical 20 man roster. A massive overpay for two upcoming UFAs. Liljgegren and Niemela are the future of the Leafs RHD...even Timmins might acceptable. Then to add Robertson and the three picks. Leafs would be infinitely better just keeping Liljgren at RHD and then they would have 7..75m to sign a UFA (s) and keep those young assets.</div></div>

I do agree it's an overpay, but I don't see how we acquire Toffoli and Hanafin, without giving up that much, Niemela is one of our top prospects but he's a B-level prospects compared to other NHL team's prospect pools, his ceiling is a top 4 D, Lily I'd rather keep, but I had a discussion with Flames fans in which the same deal had been mentioned without Lily and I was told the Flames front office would laugh, which is prob wrong but they would more than likely decline, and If it's not Lily and Niemela, it's Nylander, which I would never do.

Thread: Maple Leafs work with Flames
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>yycofred</b></div><div>Niemela barely cracks the top 100 prospects in the league, he's posted as 170 lbs as a d man who is 3 years out from his draft year, he's a taller, slighter Jared Spurgeon with a quarter of the talent. Zary was posted as a top 50ish prospect with two years of pro already under his belt, why would the Flames consider moving him to fill the pipeline with Niemela instead? Nylander is an upcoming UFA going to a team with a serious lack of direction right now, unless there is an 8 year deal attached to Nylander then the Flames don't even take a sniff at acquiring him. Nylander is also going to want north of 10M on his next deal which will need to be signed before the cap takes a serious jump. That can remain Toronto's headache instead of the Flames. I would hope you don't think the value is all that off, you posted it.. .it doesn't mean it's remotely close though.</div></div>

Nylander isn't going for north of 10. Word is his camp is asking between 9-9.5. Which is a perfect valuation for his play. I do agree that Calgary says no unless there is a contract extension planned, but the trade itself is pretty even.

Thread: Well here we are again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Pens3lieve</b></div><div>The team does not have enough change
Jt miller + Tavares destroys the cap situation for awhile and Miller does not fit the leafs timeline
Murray’s contract will cost more to dump</div></div>

Tavares, who I would absolutely love to get rid of, has an nmc, so u can't move him, but he only has 2 more years left on his contract, and sure it's not ideal paying those 2 a combined $19M but u shed $2M and get a goal scorer for Marner who goes ghost in the playoffs. Matthews was dealing with something no doubt, and Nylander, despite all the **** about him not being worth his $7M and the worst, has shown come playoff time he's the best of the core and actually shows up. With the addition of O'Reilly in the trade deadline this year i think this group goes far provided they are all going. This notion that they aren't a playoff team is stupid, they came back down 3-2 against Tampa in game 3, 4-1 in game 4, and beat them in 6. Some bad bounces and Matthews, Marner, and Tavares going ghost-handicapped them against Florida. That group could definitely go far if Florida's squad can.
