the only problem is term.

The dude is 30. How many more years of being any good does he have?

Be careful you don't paint yourself deeper in the corner.

- BINGO!

Yeah.

30+ players worry me.

Tavares is great, and has done nothing wrong, but that’s an anchor contract. The Leafs obviously cant keep going that route.

I find it hilarious that Nylander, who suddenly has a pretty sweet deal considering his production, is now a "must trade" for many here.

Johnsson, Kapanen, Kerfoot, etc. These are the contracts the Leafs should rid themselves of before even semi-seriously thinking about Willie.

Meh... Leafs can always dump that contract onto the Sens when he stops playing elite. Or he goes on a one way trip to Robidas Island.

Everyone eventually comes around to what I’m saying.

Trading Nylander makes sense.

You have to consider who’s saying trade him.

In my trade scenario, we’re at least getting Parayko.

You know that’s not true.

you assume it’s not going to be an issue because the Leafs can cheat or another team is dumb. I wouldn’t bet on it.

I got one saying my car will be repossessed if I don’t call them back and it was a number similar to mine, but somewhere in the Midwest.

I had a good laugh, because well, I’ve never had a driver’s license

1 for 1 straight up.

Parayko would be awesome because he’s not old.

It’s not a bad contract. He’ll be 35 in his final year. I’m not worried.

Nah. This is precisely the worst time to consider trading one of the best contracts this team has.

He’ll be like Eric Staal rn, but making $11mil.

The cap isn’t going up, that doesn’t help either. Not the worst contract by any means.

I would. May I remind you of the following:

Clarkson? Gone.
Phaneuf? Gone.
Marleau? Gone.
Zaitsev? Gone.



Ottawa is very dumb. We can always rely on them taking our (poop). And they'll like it.

Dubas traded the best contract at exactly this time last year.

Nylander plays with AM/JT.. let’s be honest, his stats are a tad inflated. His value will never be higher than it is now.

The Leafs NEED defence. There’s no easy way to do it.

Lol..

We had to give up 1sts.

It’s nice to get those players off the books I agree. But it wasn’t w/o consequences.

Are there a lot of Leafers worries about that contract? If I could go back, I’d still offer him something similar to join the Bruins.
