Barzal?
- Steven_Seagull

Funny you say that. I'd rather see Leafs giving up 2 1st and a 2nd for Barzal and signing him on a 7X9aav contract and then trading Nylander for picks / defense as opposed to getting AP for 8X8aav and giving up a 2nd (or 1st)

Nope. Lolol

In that case this place in filled with crazy people.

If Pietrangelo and the Blues are as done as it sounds like they are, I think St. Louis is high out of their minds if they think they could/should get a huge return on a sign and trade.

It makes absolutely no sense. At all.

Getting anything at all is already a win for them, really.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Yes... This.. If the relationship between Pietrangelo and the Blues is really over, there is no need to give the Blues anything, really.

I'm in tears
- 21peter

Dude named Peter something was pretty good.

yeah my thinking exactly. A trade like that would help both teams, Leafs and Blues both shed salary.. Assuming that Pietrangelo wants to be a Leaf and wants to be for 8 years, of course..

Johnsson would be worth it to me.. I added in Holl, because Gigsy

Don’t pander to Gigs. He’s already trouble

It’s just really paying something to lower the AAV by going to 8 years.

- MaximusAurelius

So, your solution to upgrading the defense is to offer sheet Barzal? Then trade Nylander for picks?

I won't be disappointed... I really would like Pietrangelo to sign with the Leafs.. If the only way to do that is through a sign and trade, I'm ok with that too but not if we lose a 1st rd pick..

Maybe make it a bigger trade?

Like Johnsson, a 6th and Holl (I got your Gigsy) for Pietrangelo

A 7th or futures then... I don't see the need to help the Blues

Sub Nylander for Barzal.
And use the picks / other pièces to upgrade D.
Barzal is a beauty

I don't see the need to do so, but hypothetically, if the Blues agreed to a sign and trade and Pietrangelo only wanted to be Leaf, I would offer that package

- MaximusAurelius

Sure, he's almost as good looking as William is..

Question for you, can the Leafs get a defenseman at Pietrangelo's level for Nylander?

Oh and btw; AP gonna sign for the Leafs - 7 years @ 9,027M per

what happened to the 8th year? Franking Pierre LeBrun

Funny you say that. I'd rather see Leafs giving up 2 1st and a 2nd for Barzal and signing him on a 7X9aav contract and then trading Nylander for picks / defense as opposed to getting AP for 8X8aav and giving up a 2nd (or 1st)
- MaximusAurelius

So we just running with Holl as our #1 RHD? Cool, cool, cool. (Unless that defenseman you trade Nylander for makes is somehow a top line defender who makes 1 million)

I would gladly ship Holl's ass out the door for Pietrangelo. In fact, I'd even insist on in. Give St. Louis no choice.

Frank it..

Leafs should offer sheet Barzal and then trade Rielly and Muzzin for picks. Who needs defense anyway.. Luke Scheen and Zach Bogosian are about to win the Cup.
