Thread: Brian Burke thinks Leafs should trade Nylander for another Defenseman Y or N
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blu</b></div><div>not to be like that guy but Joe Thornton is a confusing sign. please tell me why Joe is still in the NHL and did not retire?</div></div>

because he can still play hockey lol. He's slow af but he's a leader, a wicked passer, and is more physical than who he's replacing.

he just spent a few months warming up in switzerland and had 10p in 11gp.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>He's probably alluding to the fact that the leafs still have their core together. I'm not against trading Nylander by any means, but they shouldn't just dump him for cap space type of thing.</div></div>

ik but by that logic tampa should've traded kuch or point because they weren't winning. It's such a silly philosophy, you lose in spite of your core, not because of them. You assembled them then tweak around the edges

look at four years of :laugh Kane and mantha</div></div>

:laugh :laugh You really going to compare Kane to Mantha? Get serious Kane is a future hall of famer i'm not disputing that Kane is by far the better player that's not up for debate. But Mantha is much younger and fits our rebuild timeline. Patrick Kane wouldn't even waive his NMC for Detroit so it's a pretty moot point.

Thread: so ya
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewLadd</b></div><div>Anyway, I’ll explain why the trade isn’t good cuz everyone j wants to say ITS TERRIBLE and leave it at that:

Scandella is an ok dman. A no 4 dman at best. He definitely isn’t worth a first, especially Anaheim’s 1st, which will probably be a high pick. They also have a lot of LHD anyway. Also, the 2021 draft is filled with good defensmen, so if they rly want a good dman, they can j draft 1. The blues are capstrapped too, and no team is just gonna wanna help them out cuz of flat cap. J look at Tampa. They have good players like Killorn and Palat they could theoretically trade to clear cap, but no one just wants to take them for free. Any player who isn’t a star with a significant cap hit is gonna cost assets to give up because of the flat cap. That’s j the way the hockey world is rn, unfortunately. It’s made for a pretty boring offseason</div></div>

I would like to correct you on one thing, neither of Killorn or Palat have been shopped at all so saying they will cost assets to move is an inaccurate statement
