Thread: Hanifin for Nylander ideally once Kylington Returns
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>You're right, about my comments. But that was before the Leafs got a godsend in the LTIR to Murray and Murray. If those two hadn't been on on LTIR, yeah Kerfoot would likely been the sacrificial lamb. It seem impossible that the Leafs would have got outta Mrzarek's contract so easy. I was surprised. Gee look what the Flames had to give up to get rid of Monahan.
Mrzarek and Nylander had two years of cap for 10.8m per season to Arizona. Might have been good deal as the Leafs would add an additional 10m and would have kept their 1st rounder.
But Chicago saved the Leafs taking Mrzarek and I'm surprised and pleased that Nylander has really stepped up his game this season. He might be best Leaf this season.</div></div>
Yeah, all good. Time &amp; Circumstances definitely change things. I’m just frustrated with Hanifin and his poor start. I don’t actually believe Sutter would allow a Trade for Nylander. Just a thought and post for fun to burn off some steam

Can’t win’em all… Besides, getting a win is extremely rare to do on this site lol. Take Care!

Thread: TOR fans - yell at me in the comment pls
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qwertymann</b></div><div>Isnt the higher ice time a point in Miller's favour? Those extra minutes are coming from Pk, which is value that Nylander doesn't bring to team he plays for. Miller having to play top competition makes the points he earns harder to get right? Idk man, feels at this point like we are too biased for this discussion. It couldn't be clearer to me that if you are trying to win a Stanley cup (TOR), you'd want Miller over Nylander. If you're a team that's cap strapped and trying to win a Stanley cup (TOR), then the guy who gets paid less is better so you can use the cap savings elsewhere.</div></div>

Miller spends as much extra time PKing as he has spent extra time on the PP and frankly, Vancouver has been among the worst PKing teams in the league with him up there. He's not exactly a force there. The only place Miller would be more valuable is a team going all in on one season. Toronto has no need to do that. They also have no need for centers or PKers. Basically everything you can bring up in Miller's favor isn't a big factor to the Leafs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qwertymann</b></div><div>I asked for you to yell at me, not speak inaccuracies to me. Miller&gt;Nylander, that fact isn't up for debate tbh. Its how much extra TOR has to add to make the value fair.</div></div>

Miller is better than Nylander but that's not what makes the difference is here. The question is what's more valuable, 1 year of Miller or 2 of Nylander? Miller scores more but that's mostly because he plays 2 more minutes per game. When you equalize the ice time, Miller scores 0.3 more points per 60 minutes. Not a big difference so we come back to what's more valuable? The player who will score 90 points for your team for 1 season or the player who will score a point per game for 2? Making a case for the 2 years term isn't hard to do and I think you'd find Vancouver adding for that extra year of term on Nylander.
