Thread: Better Defense Means Better team
take Kappanen on Offer Sheets for Picks in the summer and build a roster for next year

TML fans know how boned their cap is and they wont match over 5 on KK as the picks at that point would be more valuable given the Marner situation after the Nylander and Mathews deals . TML cannot overpay everyone and KK becomes like Paul Byron in CGY , a causality of a deep roster with higher value players playing bigger roles .

remember we're talking leafs fans , you got to expect any trade will be approached with negativity just as any trade with BOS does .
any other fanbase has a enough vision to see the big picture but BOS and TML just like their teams .(hence the length between cups )

MTL fans are bad when it comes to Gallagher but most would take a trade if they got a similar type back like a Tyson Jost and a pick then i guarantee they change their mind .
with KK he's so young his value isnt established players is more in picks and a prospect from Junior/NCAA or oversea's . personally i wouldnt give up anything but picks for him as he's never succeeded until Mathews and Marner developed chemistry with him despite being in a system previously with Crosby and Malkin . KK could just as easily become a mediocre 3rd line winger in MTL if he doesnt find chemistry like with PIT

Thread: Best Nylander deal I can think of
I'll give ya a fiver to balance out <a href="/users/TiBo23" target="_blank">@TiBo23</a> accident. This post doesn't deserve a 1 star.

I'd hate trading Dumba but I imagine that's who Dubas wants on the Wild. I still think Dumba has more value than Nylander which you addressed a little bit here but I think it's even more than that (and this is coming from someone who loves Willy). The problem with us trading Dumba is that Dumba has honestly been one of our best offensive players, he's on pace for over 30 goals. I don't think he scores that many but I'd say he has a great shot at 20. I always go back and forth on the idea of Dumba for Nylander. If we knew Nylander would be at least a PPG center, then I'd probably pull the trigger. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) it's impossible to know the future. I also have pretty high doubts about Fenton trading him, but our beat writer has mentioned talk of switching Dumba back with Brodin just to switch things up and maybe Fenton thinks he's a waste on the 2nd pairing (which he is). If that happens he might be ever so slightly more available than he was, but I still think he's probably not available in a Nylander trade.
