Is Lucic twice the player Nylander is?

The Oilers will get their D by trading Talbot and their 2019 1st to the Flyers for Ghost.

I am surprised the Leafs haven't traded for a good checking Center to replace Bozak. It makes them better now and takes pressure off Tavares and Matthews and it clarifies Kadri's role as a scoring winger moving forward.

And why not move for a top RD now. Toronto is a hostile, impatient market. They are all over Gardiner just like they were all over Larry Murphy and McCabe. It won't ever get better for Gardiner and since there are way less trades during the regular season, it creates slow news days for the media that needs high ratings to get paid, so the media will be all over the Gardiner circus and the hater fans will repeat what the media says. GM Gudas should move Gardiner out now and augment the defense or that same media will turn the magnifying glass to Gudas for ratings. And there are lots of backstabber yes men in the Leafs office that want the GM job.

I would do Ferland, Faulk, and Leafs choice of Mcelhinney or Mrazek for Kap and Garrett Sparks. Then trade Jordan Staal to Pittsburgh for Tristan Jarry and let Jarry and Sparks battle it out for #1. This would help free some salary up to sign Aho and Turbo to extensions and maybe another big contract in a trade or in free agency this summer.

Could you imagine if Hamilton were on the Leafs right now? And the leafs were looking to trade him...
His value would be a 3rd round draft pick.

How many teams have already traded him away? He can't fit in to any dressing room? He wears his welcome out everywhere he plays.....

But of course on The Canes, his value is sky high.

I don't want Hamilton anywhere near the leafs - there is a reason that a 25yr old is going to be traded for the 4th time in his career. No thanks!

The thing is, the Leafs need someone who actually plays defense.

You'd be better off pulling the goalie and playing with six skaters the whole game

Dealer's choice?

If so, pack your bags Jaybo.......

- bcallaway

He has actually been playing well lately now that he is healthy.

I am fine with trading him at the deadline for a decent return. But if the Blues are going to get back in the mix for a playoff spot, I could see us keeping him through the end of the year.

The Leafs are going through a rough patch right now. Plenty of salty takes about their D right now. It wasn’t a top five D Corp as their numbers showed in the first quarter. It is not a dumpster fire now, either.

I like Gardiner is a good D man. A 3/4 on a good team. He needs to play with a partner that will complement his assets. Right now they have too soft D men

They need to make a trade. If they think they can win a Cup with that group they are kidding themselves

The D isnt good at all. Before it wasnt a problem because Andersen stood on his head and the Leafs out scored their opponents. What we are seeing now is what everyone saw just by looking at the D core on paper. They will need a shutdown guy if they want to win a cup. You arent going to consistently score 4+ goals against teams like Tampa.

As if only 2 teams are willing to discuss Nylander, pretty sure every team would be open to acquiring Nylander

Every day's a head scratcher on here isn't it? Yesterday Leafs were parting with first rounders to fix some issues. Sounds like good click bait for sure.

Leafs should definitely move on from from Kapanan. Just doesn't seem to fit the present day mold of speed and scoring ability.
