UFA premium on JVR...just goes to show the advantages of building through the draft versus UFA day.

Also consider Philly could have kept JVR in the first place and would have enjoyed the benefits of his prime years having drafted him. Instead, they traded him for Schenn, like Chia traded Hall for Larsson, just like the huge blunder Dubas avoided by not trading Nylander for a dman.

It's crazy the devaluing people got into...it's like they have PTSD from years of Leafyness and can't accept that yes, Nylander actually is that good that trading him for anything other than a 22 year old number one D means you are giving up the best asset in the deal. The Leafs can have nice things now, and they can improve the D in ways other than gifting Nylander to some other team.

It's also been quiet around these parts recently - it's been nice and peaceful, not so much arguing or BS

Guess we'll just have to count our lucky stars that you're not our GM.

And that's the thing - Pesce absolutely would help our team right now, but you don't trade Nylander for him. There's a deal to be had there for sure, but not involving Willie.

No matter how hungry you are, you don't order a big mac and leave behind change from a $50.

We'll mostly all be dead by then, so chances are it will be irrelevant to the majority of us at that point

Right on. You don't trade a Big Mac combo for half an Arby's sandwich and a package of condiment packets and plastic cutlery.

Honestly, the plastic cutlery might the most appetizing thing out of all of those options.

Yeah, global warming will mean that there's no more ice, just expensive splash pools.

For sure.

We actually have a good team now, with a chance to become great with a few tweaks here and there - might as well enjoy it!!! Having constant bickering and BS from UG and others though is (frank)ing annoying, so it's nice that it's been peaceful on that front the last few days

Indeed. Let's have some fun, the Leaf days of wandering through the desert are over. I enjoy having drinks with my Hab fan friends now - they have nothing to chirp about.

I hear you there - we've got a solid young core including one of the best 1-2-3 centre combos in the league, an intelligent and progressive front office, and barring (frank)-up of epic proportions should be a playoff team for the next decade. It's a good time to be a Leafs fan

Nylander straight up may no longer land us M tkachuk. Have you noticed what tkachuk is doing lately g and a ?
Best friends with AM34
I would trade nylander + to get tkachuk
He personifies grit as we know it in the new era of goonless (ha ha) hockey

And No again to this suggestion. How 'bout we keep Willie and convince Gary Roberts to come back just in time for a play-off run. Guaranteed he's still in tip-top shape. And won't cost any roster player either.
