And they still don't know what the 2nd round looks like...a wacky world we live in.

I think you should refrain from chirping Leafs fans, on the other hand, I don't really know what it is like to have no self-respect, so your perspective may be more Spatso/Doppelganger-ish.

I would say Alex Pietrangelo is pretty Blue Chip.

All these talks about chips are making me hungry

Keith for Nylander.

Get it done Stan!
- RedRevenge

Aren't the Sabres in the midst of a losing streak?

Seriously though, Sabres are a team on the rise....Should be some great years ahead of some good Leaf/Sabre games.
- Cooshie

the games were good when we sucked, even then the leafs could not get a winning record vs us

You think they won't reach the 2nd round this year?
- mykokes

The crazy thing is, they might not.

If they play the Bruins and end up getting less than half the PP opportunities Boston gets, or if they face Tampa in the first round... it is not difficult at all to imagine them losing.

They're a great team, but the playoff road through the Atlantic is not easy.

It's comical about how people love to talk about the past, like it has any relevancy at all.
- Cooshie

You have to consider the source. Flyers fans are the top of the butt-hurt heap right now.

Some of them sound suspiciously like SpazzD'oops.

Eh, Leafs are a completely different playoff threat with JT and Matthews,Marner a year older imo. The matchups will be a nightmare for the opposition.
WE had a crappy, hurt Matthews at C and Kadri for 4 our of 7 games. You get all 3 centres in all games and it's lights-out.

Meh, who cares....we live in the best hockey market in the world and one of the greatest cities as well.

Disgusting.

I don't believe in discounting your players in a trade simply because you have an abundance of what they bring.
- Cooshie

It's about filling needs. This is not to say STL wouldn't need to pad the deal a bit to make more "fair," but you either lose a player for nothing or use him to get something you need.

I think the theory is sound, as long as the GM doesn't chiarelli the whole think up and pull a Hall-Larsson.

If St. Louis padded the deal, that would be different.

Quick,you still have time to post Nylander to Florida for Eckblad. Haven't seen you name that one yet!

Horrible contract Florida gave him.

How bad has Parayko been playing? IMO hes worth a ton more than Nylander.

Disgusting.

The leafs are in no position to negotiate for the ideal defencemen. You aren't going to get a young, cost-controlled defencemen for nylander. It just isn't going to happen because opposing teams know Toronto has their backs to the door.

Keith is a top pairing defencemen on most teams, has a cost-controlled contract, and is a proven winner. I bet Keith leads Toronto to a cup.

Toronto needs to decide what path they want.

1) Overpay Nylander and give him the contract that he wants.
2) Trade him for less value.

Choose your poison

He's been playing very bad. Parayko is horribly overrated BTW.

oh

The were last overall in 2016. No one thought they'd even make the playoffs for years. Why is it suddenly spun they are big losers who never win? Completely irrelevant. this team is a major contender.
- RogerRoeper

This. As someone who hates the Leafs, I say the Leafs ARE major contenders, period.

Option 3) Let him sit till he comes to his senses.
Leafs are fine without him and not going to trade him for 10 cents on the dollar (for Keith).

oh
- Aetherial

Don't you know...the Leafs are in big trouble!
They either trade Nylander for an old, expensive dman or their team is going to sink like a rock!!

Leafs are in no position to negotiate and must take whatever is offered!!

Not just Flyer fans but all kinds....

Obsession can be cute at first...

The fact you think, but the team is winning so it can't be true is even cuter. Notice the missing part from the quote? I do. So cute.
