Larsson

Jones is one of them youd trade Nylander for. but thats not an option.

sergachev..jury is still out on him. Wouldnt have traded Nylander for him (left shot anyways)

yeah, i guess my point is those guys were not expected to be moved.

if we ever trade nylander for a young defender, it could be a unexpected player coming back.

Pssst... look into Chris Tanev... positioning, contract, shot, --- Tanev is what you need.

Id certainly consider Eklblad for Nylander, but as a lot of people have stated,moving Nylander for anything besides a young potential 1 line D is stupidity.

The Leafs have come D coming that could turn out well, you just keep drafting and making your team better where you can. That's why you go after Tavares if you can.

I would do that trade too but I don't think Florida needs to trade a D for a Forward.

Having Matthews - Tavares - Kadri down the middle would be very similar to the Pittsburgh model. Keep great centermen and patch work whatever you can around them. They have won cups with AHL plugs at defence and wing.

Gardiner, a fourth and the rights to smell Polak's shorts after he chows down on a plate of Olomouc cheese

I know, but I think that is the type of return needed if Nylander is ever to be traded; I think that anything less than an Ekblad type for Willie, hurts us more than helps us.

Also, I don't want to trade Nylander.

Drafting is fascinating. Leafs took Willie 8th in the same draft as Ekblad..and not we have them in the same conversation in trades (I am not saying 1 for 1 is equal value)

just sayin

They are not trading Ekblad or Barkov, I would imagine, everything else (mostly sh!t) is available. How embarassed is Talon after protecting this pile and throwing away Marchessault?

Not sure, how efficient is he with rotary phones? That might come back to bite us. Especially, if there is a short cord attached to the wall mounted phone.

Dear Kyle;

What are your thoughts on rotary phones?

It doesn't take long for the re-draft to change. Even 2015 #3-17 would be redrafted way differently with guys like Marner, Werenski, Barzal, Debrusk probably going early.

Hold on, never said that they would, I said that if the Leafs are to trade Nylander, that's what they should get in return;

Also, I still don't want to trade Nylander

That was a strange draft, lots of bad picks - including Sam Reinhart at #2 by the Sabres. Even though Nylander was a great pick, Pastrnak at #25 was the pick of the draft. Florida is not going to trade Ekblad.

Neither do I, in the low probability case that Leafs land JT this summer, I would think that Nylander would be packaged to land a d-man. If they consider him a centre, they might look at moving Kadri instead - but only in that scenerio. They might get even more for Kadri.
