There's no way Stone accepts a deal that low. He's getting 7 mil minimum.
- AdamFrench



He belongs in LV. When they miss the playoffs this season, he can spend his $7 mil on Tequila and booger sugar for him and his coke pig girlfriend.

Nah.

If you get Tavares for free you can trade Nylander for D.

You can even trade Nylander for D to balance the team.

But Nylander for Tavares? You improve the team immediately short term but Nylander has many seasons ahead of him still. Not sure that's worth trading away without helping the team in another area that needs more help (defense).

If "losing" Nylander means trading him for a top pairing RHD that is 25 or younger, absolutely.

But Tavares isn't coming to Toronto.

You're just saying that so you'll be ecstatic when he signs here

Except the Leafs would need to find a way to get their second back.
- bobbyisno1


Actually if they really wanted to they could probably flip back with Montreal, SJS has a higher second pick.

Is at a UG5 Confirmed? UGBuzz, the only place to get inside info

Unless they literally make him the highest paid player in the league, he's got little to no real reason to come to Toronto given his alternatives.

Would you give him 13 million a year for 7 years? Would Dubas?

It ain't happening.

I would call that finding away, but would you want to go into the draft without a 1st and 2nd?

How about this, if you have to trade Nylander to get Tavares you do it.

i think you're mixing up stone and hoffman.

key differences:

stone is a top 2 way winger in the nhl

hoffman is a 1 dimensional player with the coke addict girlfriend.

Just smile and wave, mammas boys need the attention.
I think Tavares will sign wherever the (frank) he wants, FACT.

Why would we trade Nylander for the 4th overall when we could just trade him for Tanev
- Archaic

You're not getting "40 game a season man" Tanev for only Nylander.

Give your head a shake.

I'd give up a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Stone for sure. He's only 26 he would fit really well.

The Tatar package.

Yes he has no reason to come at all.... what world do you live in?





I am not saying he is for sure coming, but to say he has no reasons to come is absurd

Actually isn't the draft before free agency?
If so, then it would be next years picks.

Honestly though if you tendered Mark Stone a contract that paid 45 million in actual salary the first 3 years would Melnyk let him go?

On the contrary I just landed Kapanen, Dermott and the 25OA for 15 50% retained Hoffman and a 1st in 2020 & 2021.
When I want my d!ck sucked I'll jiggle my zipper.
Until then you can remain stagnant, thanks!

i think a $7M signing bonus in july might be enough to get it done.



the real bumhole move is to see if he's willing to sign a 1-year $8M deal with a big fat signing bonus.

sens can't trade him for 1 year if they match. he'd become a ufa and walk for nothing.
