Ooh stringer....

Is Adam Larson an offensive defence, a career high 24 points with 3 goals that season suggests not. Yet he garnered Hall.

Tanev has less upside, yes. But right now is a better defensive player. Career high 14 points with 2 goals.

Great analytic numbers for tanev. He drives possession.

He won't ever get a hall caliber return but don't underestimate his value.

I wouldn't trade him for nylander myself. Don't need anymore pussies on the team.

But don't kid yourself, his worth is substantial.

Marner? Dare to dream my friends, date to dream.

If you're going to dream .... dream big. Great job big fella. Good luck in the draft lottery next year.

I think the Leafs should trade Nylander for PK Subban or Drew Doughty

I think that would be super fair

Tanev isn't quite enough for Nylander. VAN needs to up the ante to match what Toronto can get from other teams, like add a 5th round pick with Tanev or something.

Adam Larson 24yo
13G 75A 88pts in 353 games

Chris Tanev 27yo
16G 59A 75Pts in 348 games

Looks pretty comparable to me....

Good luck with that.

Tanev is not worth anywhere near what you people think he's worth.

Teams DO NOT go out and pay ridiculous sums for defensive-minded players from the worst defensive teams. Like ever.

We are in for years of pain upcoming. We are about to pay the bill for 5 whole years of boneheaded decisions by ownership and management. And, it's going to be devastating.

If you thought we were bad the last couple years, just wait!...

So Hall for Larson didn't happen??

Marner, a 1st and a solid prospect for Tanev and Trevor Linden's old dirty jock strap.

Or the Leafs could just keep all their players, try to sign Alzner or Stone, and make the playoffs for the next 7-10 years with this group of forwards.

Benning should be creating a bidding war for Tanev.
- Marwood


Start the bidding war and pull the trigger on the best deal by the end of the 1st round at the draft. The franchise needs to be decisive and commit to the rebuild

A player, pick and prospect is what i think he's worth.

We could debate all day the quality of the pieces
