Enjoy this new feeling buddy, it was not too long ago you wanted basically to get rid of every player, and we appreciate the Leafs being still

actually i would like to thank the Peguino's for taking on Phil's contract in that trade, minus 1.2 million per year, this trade helped out the Leafs because we received Kapanen, a first rounder who we traded to get Freddy Andersen and we sucked so bad that year that we got the 1st pick overall which turned out to be Auston Matthews.....not bad eh!

I called Nylander for Nurse 1 year ago....

Some clowns said it was the worst proposal they had ever heard đź–•

Great if Oilers add a pick

Definitely a win-win for both franchises, ours cashed in and yours has now the brighter direct future ahead.

Nurse won't be enough to pry Nylander.
He has proved little in his time in the NHL.

Larsson and Bouchard.

Gotta think the exec is Chia. I wonder how much he’s willing to pay the Leafs for negotiating rights.

Why the name calling? Someone sounds a little bitter and angry. That's what happens when you haven't won a cup since 1967. I think it's you who wanted our players, that is why we took your draft picks.

Oh, and thank you for Josh Manson, Marcus Peterson, Andrej Kase, Sam Steel and Maxime Comtois.

The only trade I could see happening is

Nashville receives:
Nylander
Marincin

Toronto Receives:
Ekholm
Tolvanen
1st


Or if Arizona wants to be dumb and trade Chychrun and Hayton

I have seriously only heard of 2 of the guys you mention above; Manson and Kase. Kase only because I have his Young Guns card.

So you're welcome I guess?

Sens need to figure out how to ice a roster for price of a happy meal.

Seriously. Who are those guys? Buddy, you’re a joke

Leafs are the best team in the league and the Disney Ducks are currently being outshot like 50-12 by Dallas. Getzlaf is old and bald. It’s over

I can definitely see chia offer sheeting Nylander at 8x7 not knowing it the contract is divided over 5 years for compensation purposes. Giving up 4 first round picks and over paying Nylander.

I could see him trading 5 1sts to avoid the whole offer sheet fiasco. But only after talking to Nylander to make sure he’d sign.

Didn’t his dad commit verbally to Edmonton and turn around and sign in Washington?

If he’s demanding $8M from Toronto he’s going to want 9 to play in Edmonton.

Also, the fact that Eklund thinks teams need Toronto’s permission to talk to Nylander really speaks to his credibility as an “insider”. This is one of the most visited hockey websites and the owner doesn’t know what an RFA is.

As a Leaf fan I’d love to see then add Nurse to the team. A big, tough, solid defenceman that lead an underachieving team in +/- (amongst the defenceman) is exactly what the leafs need. I highly doubt the leafs will get much else in a return other than Nurse for Willie. d-men come at a premium cost (just look at what was Returned for Hall), and Willie is looking to take home big big dollars. If Edmonton continue to struggle scoring, and mid November approaches, this is a real possible move to help both teams. My guess would be a straight up deal.

If you'd love to see that trade you're a Oilers fan and not a leafs fan.

Sorry, but until he is a UFA, he is Leafs property. Sure a team can offer sheet him but the Leafs have last say in anything related to Nylander. Most likely, Nylander wants to be a Leaf....not so sure the Leafs thing the same any longer though.
- Cooshie


This is patently false. He is a Restricted FREE AGENT right now. He is NOT Leafs property. Because he is RESTRICTED, if he signs with another team, Toronto has the option to match it or take draft picks back- that's the restriction. But he is an RFA right now- Restricted FREE AGENT.

If you werent the standard eastern time zone fan you would see Nurse is a young up and coming 2 way dman that provides a ton of toughness. He is not just a young big tough defenseman. Young man on his bridge deal that offers more upside than down. But leafs fans seem to think Willy is worth a potential top 5 (league wide) guy on an entry level deal. Sorry leafs fans but he is a young top 6 winger with high potential. He is not a Matthews, McDavid, Crosby, Ovi, ect. And with this holdout his value is dropping. No doubting his talent, definately a 1st line winger. But he is not worth a teams other young top line winger, prospect, and 1st rounder. Or top young d, plus, plus. Especially not when teams (and every common fan) knows what the leafs needs/wants are in a top 3 d.

And Edmonton needs a top 4 d more than toronto. No chance they're offering one of theirs for a guy who commands more long term money than they currently have. To have a deal between the 2 the leafs would have to agree to take on one of the Oilers with a nmc and have that guy agree to waive (Lucic, Russell, or Sekeras) and that ain't happening. Edmonton may love to acquire Willy, but the best they can offer is Lucic/Russell and Klefbom/Nurse and a pick for Willy and Gardiner and a lower pick. And there is no chance either fan base is happy with that.

Dead rumor. Nice try EK.
