So do the Leafs. Take that.. We need center depth..
- PatC80

So you'd leave Lafrenière to LA?

So that was awesome
- senstroll

If Montreal doesn't win the Draft lottery, this will be the best one ever, like in the history of histories

Cup or Lafreniere.. What a season.
- PatC80

Take Laf, cancel season and go for cup when its somewhat back to normal.

Oh and the nhl is a joke if laf goes to mtl.

The bottom 8 teams get a 1/8 chance.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

columbus / nashville / winnipeg in particular - but all the 8 'playoffs teams' (including toronto) that still need to play to actually get to play a best of 5 to get into these playoffs got a bad deal then.

Nope trade Kerfoot and Johnsson to buffalo for Ristolainen. Roll with Matthews, Tavares and Lafreniere.

Montreal won't win.

But he's a LW. Switching him to centre might bring in the same results Habs had with Drouin.

We'll see. Playing him at C, would be fine but prefer that he plays with Matthews

Forget risto.
Better options out there
Probably cheaper as well.

We'll likely lose Barrie and Ceci. It would be nice to have a top 4 RHD

Yup.
Keep him on wing
If hes good, trade marner or willie when lafs elc is up.

Look at us...talking like we won the lottery.
So leafy of us

Losing nothing with ceci.
Barrie...meh had plenty of wingers.

Risto isnt great at defense, he hits and takes slappers. Like a phaneuf

Yup.

this is such a bad comparison.

virtually nobody would directly trade marner for lafrenniere.
all would trade nylander without giving a second thought for lafrenniere.
marner is way way better than willie - and marner's value is so much higher, even if we consider the caphit difference.

Keep him on the wing play him at C. Heck teach him how to goalie. I don't care. I want him now

Marner's cap hit being high might make it hard to trade him.

30 teams would gladly make room for him if made available.

Sooooooooo...

Do we tank for a 12.5% chance?

Put some ice cubes in those pants.

The leafs have to lose to cbus first

Uh?
Wtf?
No.
The post was on the basis that the LEAFS get Laf.
If Laf turns out to be great...then move some forward money after his elc is over.
Not trade marner or willie for Laf

This isn't true. Given the enormous difference in cap hit and their respective performances this season you can make the case that Nylander provides more value

Step 1 - check.

Time to read step 2.
