Thread: Should we go for Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Herb_Brooks</b></div><div>mtl trades kidney and 2 firsts for konecny and tippett, then they trade konecny and tippet for nylander

MTL out: Kidney 2 firsts konecny and tippet

MTL IN; NYlander and a 3rd</div></div>

Wow man. This is basic math. Sounds like you need to re-do third grade. One thing is traded for the other.

2 1sts + Kidney = Konecny + Tippett
Konecny + Tippett = Nylander

NOT: 2 1sts + Kidney + Konecny + Tippett + Nylander.

Do you see how you're just moving one value to the other side of the equation?

They don't just magically acquire Konecny and Tippet for free and then send out two 1sts plus those players.

The 2 1sts are traded for the PHI players. Then the PHI players are traded for Nylander. The equivalent value would also be just trading just the 2 1sts for Nylander, but this is a three-way trade where the 1sts go to PHI and Konecny and Tippett go to TOR, because it assumes TOR would rather have Konecny and Tippett than two 1sts, which makes sense since TOR is trying to win now and PHI would rather have the picks for their rebuild

Philly gets two 1sts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lafleur10</b></div><div>Firstly, if we want Nylander, we wouldn't lose assets to get him, we'd sign him in FA if he gets there without being traded, if not then we don't lose anything, what can happen is that we could trade for him and then have him sign elsewhere, a decision completely out of our control, that being said, we don't want Nylander.
By the time we'll be ready to compete again he'll be 30, not crack a spot on our top 2 lines, and have a contract of 10 Mil? No thank you.
He in no way fits our timeline, he doesn't fit onto our roster, and we don't have the assets to trade for him, even if we traded picks and prospects for the NHL ready players that Toronto would want, that's not how you rebuild. Nylander on our team during the latter years of our rebuild means a better team, better picks, and a worse prospect pipeline compared to what we would have if we just accept were going to suck for the next 2-3 years.</div></div>

Willy is not ever going to be an FA. Worst case he ends up in a sign and trade. What will likely happen is he signs in TO and this nonsense will finally end.

Firstly, if we want Nylander, we wouldn't lose assets to get him, we'd sign him in FA if he gets there without being traded, if not then we don't lose anything, what can happen is that we could trade for him and then have him sign elsewhere, a decision completely out of our control, that being said, we don't want Nylander.
