did you fist the bird thursday with reckless abandon ?

I can’t tell who’s being serious and who’s just making fun of EK and his nonsensical, non-existent trade rumours

But we can all agree that JVR is one of the worst contracts in the league, right? If you attached two first-round picks to that deal, it might get you a fourth line player with one year left on his deal. And Ghost also has negative value, so to suggest that would be the return for Nylander, a guy who would have been close to 40 goals this year, and is signed to a long term deal with a reasonable cap hit, is as dumb as Ek’s blog

The Leafs have already put all their pieces in place. If there was a deal, it would have been a month ago. And it would have been something like Sanheim or Myers + picks / prospects for Willy

No we can’t agree jvr contract is one lf the worst
He is still a 40+ point player

Hagg + German rubstov + jay obrian + Felix Sandström + 1st + right to Gavin hain

For

Melander+ 6th rd pick + 7th rd pick

No we can’t agree jvr contract is one lf the worst
He is still a 40+ point player

gunsnroses is right

If Leafs are open to trading Nylander then I think Calgary should get in on the discussion: Maybe a three team trade like this

Calgary - William Nylander 31 G 28 A 59 Pts
New Jersey - Johnny Gaudreau 18 G 40 A 58 Pts
Toronto - Kyle Palmieri 25 G 20 A 45 Pts

Toronto saves 2.3 Million in cap space they can put toward a defenseman and Palmeiri potentially improves point totals playing with better players. Calgary gets Nylander for 4 years and brings with him the hopes that Nylander can score more in the playoffs and New Jersey gets a very skilled and talented home talent who will likely re-sign after 2 years. There may have to be other bits and pieces but this is the main part of what I think would be a win-win-win.

I'm completely not seeing the 3rd win part of the "win-win-win" for the Leafs. Looks like a lot of losing for them.

As a Leafs fan, I know losing when I see it, and that trade reeks of losing.

Nylander sucks.

So we'll take whoever and be happy to wash our hands of the 6.9mil he makes.

Proorov is untouchable. Leafs should sign Haula and then flip him to Edmonton who can then flip him for MAF. The rare sign and double trade.

How about RFA War Sign and trade Offer sheet Armageddon?

Dubois re-signs with Columbus but then gets traded to the Isles for Barzal. Barzal signs an offer sheet with the Devils which is matched by Columbus. Barzal is then traded to Vegas for MAF who is then flipped to the Flyers for Ghost. Canucks sign power forward Mike Hoffman who is then traded to the Flyers for MAF. Lehner has a setback in his injury forcing Vegas to sign Jimmy Howard.

Leafs should probably slow their roll. They already shipped out Johnsen and Kapanen. Their depth took a blow, and if this rumor is true, they are 1 injury away from being a bottom 10 team. They were an elite offense last season, and have made enough moves for this offseason.

The only two d that make sense for Toronto from Philadelphia are Myers or Sanheim, when talking about talent for a guy like Nylander. Philly fans will say no way.....Toronto fans not really knowing the players potential and upside will say no way.....
Both these D would save the Leafs close to 4 million a year on cap space, which really is a huge asset these days. I’m not sure Philly can do either with out making additional moves on d as they are a tad thin back there but there are some free agents still out there. In philly’s case the addition of Nylander would put them up against the cap, so the ability to address the d position would be hindered to say the least.
The only way this happens is if either the Flyers or Leafs have something else up their sleeve.
No way the Leafs trade Nylander for Ghost unless Ghost comes to Toronto with a first rounder.

Unless Mathews is coming to Philly, Provy is not going to Toronto.

To Philly: Nylander

To TO: Hagg, Laughton, the Ghost of Christmas past, Clarke’s rusty spittoon, Homer’s dented bike, Michel Therrien, a tub of scrapple, the Philadelphia Eagles, and bottle of Jim Beam

The above is just as likely to happen as anything posted on this site by Ek

I know you all can’t stop talking about the Leafs but I am concerned about your obsession with our Willie.
