if the costs were reasonably similar I would prefer Edler..if he was available

Edler makes sense if the claims are right that Nonis looking for a top 4 D-man...Not sure Nucks looking to move him and if they where he wont come cheap..I would think MacDonald would be cheaper trade option..

Bolland's not going to get 5M from anyone, or 8 years.

Just the starting point for negotiations.


And if the Leafs get Kesler, Bolland won't be coming back.

He wouldn't be the first 3rd line player to get that type of deal, wouldn't he?

What'S wrong with Kesler?
He's a pretty good player.

Come on, he and Bolland are very similar players- both are two-way pesty players.

Difference is Kesler's a lot better offensively. Like, a lot better. He's having a bad year, and he's already passed all but one of Bolland's seasons.

Yeah but he plays for Vancouver, which renders him totally useless.

Agreed

Guys, let's please not give Kypreos any attention for that tweet of his, it's Dreger from last summer on Kadri all over again.

These goofballs treat the public like idiots, and just blurt out possible max deals and say 'that's what he wants! is he worth it?! TUNE INTO OUR SHOW TO HEAR OUR OPINIONS ON THESE COMPLETELY FABRICATED STORIES!!

It's nonsense. No agent is going to start the negotiations for Bolland at 7-8 years for 5m per. He'll get laughed out of every GM room in the league.

Nonis wont trade quality assets for Kesler.
He wont be a leaf.

Gillis?

What'S wrong with Kesler?
He's a pretty good player.
- Pecafan Fan

He's too old.

Also we dont need anymore Americans from that choking embarrassing Olympic team....two is enough.

the Leafs are already experst at choking and falling apart....we dont need another pro with no heart.

McDonaugh? Parise? Yeah, wouldn't want either of those two busts

kesler is in my top 5 least favorite NHL players, a total bum, diver, the last thing i want on the leafs.

He's too old.

- Fakepartofme

exactly.

the habs are welcome to take him, he would fit well on their team of misfits

McDonaugh? Parise? Yeah, wouldn't want either of those two busts
- walshyleafsfan

Meh.
Dont need another overpaid forward.

McDonaugh would be useful though.

This is where the Holland trade comes in nicely. They have a replacement for Bolland already.

Meh.
Holland can play third line center.....his name is one letter different than bolland.....but he cant replace Bolland just yet.

He wouldn't be the first 3rd line player to get that type of deal, wouldn't he?

People will bring up Clarkson a lot but he was 100% healthy. This injury will cost Boland a lot of money. I don't see him getting 7 year offers.
