The weaknesses that the Leafs displayed last night are not the kind of things Nylander can fix.

Poor Dzone coverage, panicky, scrambly play, in their own end, losing most puck battles, getting out-worked all over the ice...

Nylander is not the kind of player to change any of that.

You guys didn't play that well and still won. That is a sign of a good team.

Nope. The end is here. One game has determined all is lost.

Willy wanting a fair deal and all, and wants to be with the leafs, and has to think about his future in all this, sounds like he wants his cake and eat it too. I get you want to get paid and all, but at the same time you are getting to be on a team thats stacked. The guy is scared to take a check, probably to not mess with his beautiful face I dunno, not sure he puts up the same numbers on a mediorce team.

Marner > Willy hands down. More complete player. He deservers the 8 Mil, and I can see Mitchy leaving a bit to stay thats why I say 8 mil. He had the oposite face of McJesus when the leafs drafted him.

Mathews is at least JT money, but probably 12. That right there is potentially 31 Mil of Cap space alone.

Oi, I love that JT is a leaf, but him plus Mathews on the payroll eats up quite a piece of the pie.

- Arctic_AARDVARK


That's one of the dumbest ideas imaginable. Panarin is a pending UFA who has already refused to sign with any team during the season and no matter what Nylander costs, Panarin will cost more AND he's older AND he's completely unnecessary for the Leafs to acquire.

Zero sense.

Question. When you type these comments, are you YELLING outloud like the guy on Bar Rescue?

Agreed but they can get that for free as a UFA. Total waste of an asset to move Nylander for a LW. They need to use him to acquire a RHD.

Way past tired of Nylander. Ship him out. There are lots of players I’d rather have for his asking price. I’d take a less talented, harder working player, everyday. How bout Vegas D...... Theodore who just signed for $5Mil. Done

We don't even know what his asking price is, it's all speculation and conjecture from the talking heads (Bobcat, Dreger, Bobby Mac).

I would not be surprised to see VGK fighting for a playoff spot this year. Too many things went right in that Cinderella story over there and nobody's taking them lightly anymore.

Still a little tired maybe. They should be a pretty good team. Fleury hasn't been good.
