Agreed on both counts.

That Chabot looks like a beaut.

Problem is the Leafs don’t trade anyone. They won’t get D standing pat & probably lose players to UFA. Dubas can play hard ball & Shanahan can talk about the past Wings but its the now & not back in the day. Willy isn’t taking a shave when nobody else will. 5 or 6 yrs at $7-7.5m i figure is what he would settle for.

I’d say Tavares took a shave when he could have signed with SJ for $91M or NYI for $88M and took $77M with the Leafs. Bit of a shave there! Trade Nylander.

What makes you think he is worth what Pastrnak got?

You have suggested more even. What is your reasoning.

Gee, couldn't be you are so desparate to see the Leafs fail could it?

Willy isn’t Taylor Hall either or even close.

Agree 100%......Chabot is the only D man from the four teams mentioned....maybe Manson from Anaheim and maybe a plus included with either

I really hope Willy signs but if not it has to be for a top D man even if we have to add something but something like Chabot plus something else might work....Chabot is not proven yet

Nylander himself isn't worth a TOP Dman, so maybe your problem is YOUR assessment of Nylander's worth. If Nylander isn't worth 8 mil, how is he worth a TOP Dman? Exactly. Get real bro.

Check the list of players who put up 60+pts at age 20 and 21. Then try to argue leafs shouldntrade that potential for the scraps
That are being offered.
The Taylor Hall trade is not relevant; one of the worst
Trades ever.
It is not a precedent for what Willy is worth, or anyone for
That matter. Chiapet should have been fired
For
That move alone.

Are you seriously using that laughable trade no other GM would have done to prove what a top 4 D is worth?

The Oilers should have gotten so much more. Everyone knows this.

I doubt you’ll get a top 60 D-Man, but will probably get an already established 22-25 yr old with strong potential to be that guy in the near future.

Agreed. The Hall Trade is a terrible benchmark. The Seth Jones Trade ( at the time) is a closer comparable. You wouldn’t get Seth Jones now, but a player on the cusp.

I doubt Willy goes anywhere. He'll be signed. Probably on a bridge deal.
He won't lose an entire year at age 22

How many losses will it take for the, 'Nylander contract dilemma is hurting the Leaves' headline?

The Islanders don’t have any defensive helping to offer. We’re just gonna offer sheet the guy in the off-season and even up the Tavares thing

The Hockey is only 33% of the equation when it it comes to signing UFA deals or offer sheets. Location in 33% and Long Island checks that Box and Ca$h is the remaining 34%.

For married guys the hockey plays an even smaller role because we the wife doesn’t give a (frank) about that.

Didn't suggest Willie for either of them by themselves.

The only way would be Willie for Juolevi and Tanev. Or Tanev and a second (high second likely)
