Thread: TOR/EDM trades
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arousedcat</b></div><div>I think if the Wild are seriously considering moving Staal, it's for a player like Nylander. A young offensive right shot C/RW is what we need. Staal alone wouldn't be enough for Nylander, but what about some sort of package centered around Staal for Nylander?</div></div>

Just as an outsider, it would probably be Staal and 2018 1st (maybe even something else) for Nylander. Staal had a great year, but I think the Leafs could look at other options for a a veteran center that wouldn't cost them Nylander. Leafs need an impact RHD, so if Wild built deal around Spurgeon or 1 for 1 swap with Dumba, Leafs would be enticed. The Wild have every right to ask for a player like Nylander in return for Staal, that just tells me as an outsider that Staal won't be traded.

Thread: Fixing Fletcher's (and Leipold's) mess. Caps and Oiler trades.
I think the trade is just too big. People are always going to debate the value, but when you look at it from Edmonton's side, they are giving up their top pairing RHD, guy with a ton of potential in Puljujärvi, Yamamoto who is top prospect with Puljujarvi in the NHL, and a 2nd round pick for a different and more expesnive RHD (who obviously has a different skillset), a different, more established, more expensive winger (coming off a career year), and a goalie who would be an upgrade, but doesn't really fit a need for them. When you just look at the deal, it's not overly eye catching for EDM. Zucker is a decent fit because he's speedy and could keep up well with McDavid, but he is also going to be looking at 5+ mil a year after a career year. I think if MN swapped out Dumba for Spurgeon, it would make Edmonton stop and think through it.
I'm not sure if EDM would be able to do the deal with it's current cap just like this, much less attempting to sign Strome and Nurse after.
Again, I think it's just too big of a trade. Spurgeon would be a good fit in Edmonton. Zucker would be a good fit in Edmonton. Puljujarvi would be a fresh power forward that MN needs. It just looks weird with everyone included and I think a smaller deal makes sense.

Thread: Nichushkin Return, VAN trade
Would this make DAL better? DAL has many needs, but is RHD the biggest one? You still haven't signed Stephen Johns, so he could be traded in this scenario. Tanev would be a nice addition, but at the cost of a 2018 1st and Gurianov, and a 2nd?

Nilsson would be a good backup, but I can't imagine he's part of VAN's long term plan, so it's not a big deal for them to give him up. With guys like Nuevirth available, and a good backup goalie free agent class, there's not a big need for DAL to trade for Nilsson. DAL won't trade Spezza as a cap dump, which they don't view him as.

With a package of a 2018 1st, 2019 2nd, and Gurianov, I would rather throw another piece in and go after O'Reilly and keep Johns instead of Tanev.

I just feel as a DAL I just don't feel like the team is better off.
