nylander is the most tradeable right now. a lot money is already out the door on his contract.

matthews and marner are more tradeable after jul 1, 2020. once they collect their ~$15M bonus cheques each; for the successful completion of a nhl regular season.

- Tumbleweed


Does this put the bonus in jeopardy?????

he looks like he is skating in sand out there.

you get what you pay for. $700k gets you a poop powerplay player who can't both track the puck and a teammate.

- Tumbleweed


I agree with your take on spezza

I think his game is done.

Someone tag this thread.

Expose these guys in a few years when they wanted to seriously trade Matthews because of a bad stretch.

Shame on you guys.

- Santo_44


Expose.
Ha!
I’ve been calling for a Matthews trade for 2 years now.
I’ll own it.

I think a more realistic trade would be;

Jenner, Savard and Anderson for Nylander, Ceci and Bracco. I still think that it's too much, Nylander is a high price to pay... I don't see any team helping us out though.

Nashville makes sense from a trading perspective. They have a lot of D, and we have offensive players. There should be a match there somewhere, especially considering its out of conference.

Id try for a pitch of Kap or Johnnson+++ for Ellis. Not sure what it would look like, but it could be dooable.

Yes, because Matthews is almost as good as Josh Anderson

Not quite. I heard all Andersons are good. We should try to get Craig for our backup for Marner. What could go wrong?

Comments on some of the other sites are just as bad. Leaf nation seems very frustrated with him atm.

My favourite of the worst: “ He’s Fragile Phil, a less durable and less competitive version of Kessel”

Lol, smh.

Ok man.

You need to comment with a more level head. You are purely commenting from anger right now.

People are (frank)ed.

They can’t handle losing. It’s the NHL, it’s a very good league that you can’t just get by with skill alone. They will realize that.

Mackinnon was the most talented 60 point player in the league for 4 years until he figured it out.

Ellis is a bit undersized, I think he's only 5'10.. I hope a package including Johnsson + would be enough to get a guy like Ellis

No way dude! You see the save Marner made on the Avs empty-net try. Marner is the new back-up goalie. Marner replaces Hutchingson next time out...

yeah - i am pissed.

we've suffered through years of poop, before barely watchable tanking seasons; and not we are back to poop when we should have had the pieces to be cup contenders.

but my take on spezza is not wrong - he looks completely awkward trying so hard to to chase guys down; only to see them pull further ahead of him.

he was completely lost on the pp play. if he makes the correct peewee play and goes to the bench, rielly makes the play and it's a nothing burger.

He's 5"11, a bit undersized but tough. Ellis, and 5th, for Johnsson, SDA, Ceci(% retained), 2nd or 3rd in 2021?

I dunno.

Ellis is great

I dunno if we could pluck him - they are a big fan and his contract is good too
