Thread: Timo time
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oneX</b></div><div>To your point about Nylander, I can already see his argument of "why should I be the only core guy not making a double digit salary?" And that is why a Meir trade makes sense right now because he should be coming in cheaper than what Nylander will cost in the long run.

I fully admit that between the two, Nylander is the more skilled guy but I do think Meir brings a little more grit/heavyness which the Leafs lack anyway.

Pending the results of the coming playoffs, perhaps it is time to lean a little towards that grit/heavy style of game because certainly Tampa and Boston are bringing that to the Leafs whether they like it or not.</div></div>

In the summer changes are coming no matter what regardless of playoff result so I'd rather drive the ship by trading for Meier now.

Downside is what happens if he wants to sign the QO and walk.
That's the gamble.

I think there has to be way to acquire him without giving up Knies, Knies exactly what we want next if we make a move for Meier... a player with term on a ELEC deal.


To me the real issue is that we need more then Meier.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Calgary is in a playoff spot so I doubt they move Ruzicka
I prompted Henrique but I just dont see ANA retaining 50%
Garland's on buyout watch so lets wait
Chycrun I mean sure but going for a true RD is smarter

And moving on from Rielly would be a massive embarrassing move for Dubas to move on from Rielly after 1 year of signing his extension. Let the guy get healthy and get back to his old good ways as if he can get back to last years form were good. Cant be giving up on a player after 1 injury riddled season especially when that guy has been here the longest and is arguably the true C of the team</div></div>

I have been wanting to move on from Rielly for years, didn't want him extended.

But I get what your saying, which is why I pointed that it's not realistic.

On Ruzicka, thought he was in Suter doghouse?
