Trouba would give us a top paring for a long time...i would be willing to sacrifice Nylander for him. Not sure who would have to add...but with D being hard to find, i think we would add a bit. But what do i know. One thing i do know is I wouldn't deal Reilly or Marner for him.

So Olympic hockey is better than this World cup thingy right?

I havent watch much WCH...I just really dont care that much about it..anyone else?

Wouldnt say better, but it has been great hockey. Fast. Barely any whistles. I like Olympics, with national pride on the line. But young guns were fun to watch. Could have won it.

I dont mind Trouba and think Burns would be awesome for the leafs.
But he'll be pricey and maybe a year or two ahead of their plans.
I think he's an FA next year right?
- Fakepartofme

Yup.

He'd be excellent. Yes he'll cost a ton, yes it might be a little earlier than when the rest of the team should/could compete but he'd have a great impact and would be a great leader for the team.

I prefer Olympic hockey, feel I much more invested in it. A medal carries much more weight than that crappy hockey trophy the NHL created.
However, this tourney has been fun to watch, I'll admit. I paid more attention to it than I thought I would.
Im not sure about the 3 game series for the final yet though.

If Garth can do it, so can we!

Gardiner + a 3rd for Trouba!

I doubt their Carlyle-esk run and gun style would lead to victory over 3 games.
You gotta play D

I thought i would love 3 games, cause it gets a rivalry going, but now i am also unsure

I asked a few weeks ago on this thread (in a blog Mike or Lucas made about this topic) if people we're ready to include one of Nylander or Marner in a trade for Trouba (which is probably what it would take to acquire him) and most here didn't feel like it was a good idea.

But accepting to trade Marner for Trouba is about the same thing as saying the Leafs should have drafted Hanifin.

I think they should have but what's done is done.

I agree on the Olympics... I really only watched the last half of Can/Rus game..once it was 4-2 I turned it off

I think it might have to do with the time of year and Jays for me...hockey not #1 yet

Ya Im on the fence.

I like hanafin too. D take longer to mature...and team will prob still be drafting high. Which means you can select forwards after and they will mature together Plus not a fan of small wingers...but watching marner last year, he looked legit.

guys

you know what

Youre lucky its a slow day in here......people would eat you alive for suggestion demigod Nylander.

Would love to add Trouba of course...but I want the leafs to finally draft and keep thier own (frank)ing draft picks...Really its been Kadri in the last 10 years...time to change the looking at other teams players to make the team better

Howe
Orr
Gretzky
Lemieux
Lindros
Crosby
maybe McDavid
not Eichel, not even close.

The Rocket is probably in there

Steve your boy?
Happy Bday if so.
Great facking age.....so much fun

How is that Trouba asked for a trade in May but the Oilers still managed to somehow not swing a Hall for Trouba deal instead of what they actually did?

True.
But when something comes along that fits the age group and quality of your group......

- BINGO!

Didn't want to trade within the conference in case the trade blows up and happens to be horribly one sided against them?
