Nylander seems the biggest chip of those mentioned. Leafs fans might be impressed with the return if Treliving decides to change the chemistry or balance of his lineup. Two 5M players who offer different skill sets might be preferable to a 10M sniper
You forgot about the Flames. If the Flames are out of it, Lindholm is probably going to be the best forward at the deadline and Hanifin will be the best defenceman.
If Treliving hasn't gotten Nylander signed to a new contract, and he likely won't or shouldn't, Nylander will not be traded at the deadline if Toronto is having a good season; he will be Toronto's own rental.
The core 4 needs to be broken up, but I expect it will be a pretty unexplosive event with Nylander going to free agency and finding a massive contract on a team that can afford him.

If your not a NJ, Carolina in the east then you trade your assets at the TDL, if not the GM should be fired. This own rental crap is just a way to justify a GM not doing his job and trading expiring assets for news ones.

If Toronto had the cap space to sign Nylander to a new deal, it might make a touch more sense, but they do not.
Trying to win a cup is more important than acquiring picks at the deadline.
People give up assets trying to get a guy to win a cup. It is no different.

Define being a NJ, Carolina in the East. I'd say Toronto is just about on par with those teams. Casinos have them with the same odds as NJ and just behind Carolina to win the East. Most people would not expect Toronto to be in a position to be dealing away assets at the trade deadline. If they ship Nylander, it will be to make them better this season.

I don't know how anyone rationally views Toronto as a seller at the deadline unless they suffer massive injuries this season.
No use getting hype for the upcoming season when lockdowns are back in September...Here we go again..

The lockdowns are to ensure mail in ballots. I'm figuring a fall election in Canada and the U.S. election one year later. It's all about stuffing the ballot boxes and getting their World Economic Forum lackeys re-elected.

I guess you're enjoying living under that Donkey Cathy Hochul. NYC is trying to send their illegal immigration problem to upstate New York. So far, cities like Ogdensburgh, Massena and smaller towns are not willing to accept NYC's problem.
Are there any plans for future podcasts here? Or have Eck and the boys moved on. Its not like there is nothing to talk about these days. Lots going on ..... new rules or potential rules, women's hockey league, signings in NHL and women's league, retirements.
