Thread: Pipe down LA and CAR Nylander is staying put
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>I think that is the max I would want to pay nylander, and it would have to be at least 7 years I think 8 would be better of course. If Carolina were to offer foegele pesce and a 2019 first and nylander was still asking for more than what you have offered, would you take that trade?</div></div>

Honestly no, I don't understand the fascination with Pesce. He's not an elite defenceman. He's a defensively sound guy with almost no offensive abilities. Pesce would be the best right handed defenceman in TO but only until Liljegren is ready, he is a player with way more upside than Pesce. Also is Pesce good because he's a driver of play? Or did Slavin elevate him? What we know about Nylander is he is elite. He is one of the best players in the game at taking the puck away in the offensive and neutral zones but does get a little lax in his own zone. That can be corrected and I think his offensive ceiling is as high as Marner's. Would you trade Marner for that package?

Thread: Sportsnet claims Nylander and leafs are close on a 6 year deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tomkinoo</b></div><div>so now we're talking about intangibles again, "who shows up". Matthews showed up the series against the caps, and now he has the benefit of not always playing the other team's top unit because of tavares.

also have you watched the leafs? Rielly is close to being in that conversation, he has Hainsey as a partner and still manages good stats. Babcock has been rotating in Dermott instead of Hainsey on some shifts, wouldn't be surprised if that becomes permanent around mid season and then people will really see Rielly's value.</div></div>

Actually he was rolling ozhiganov in there when hainsey went down. Would love to see zaitsev or ozhiganov in the top pair and get hainsey on the bottom pair with dermott. I think dermott could haul his corpse around effectively as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Price_is_the_goat</b></div><div>i get ur point, but at the end of the day, u wont get deep in the playoffs. maybe after an early exit this year, that management will realize that. who knows</div></div>

I try not to do much fortune telling... I predicted Tampa winning the cup over Winnipeg last year... but instead two teams with weaker defense got in.... our defense is already improved over last year. Polak out and ozhiganov in. Dermott is looking stronger and with bozak and jvr gone the team defense looks better. I also wouldn’t blame just our defense on that early exit last year. Our whole team did not come out to play during the first 4 games.

I don’t think there’s a team in the league that wouldn’t mind an upgrade on D, even Tampa was trying to get in on karlsson.
