Nylander has been rumored to be traded for the last two years. It seems the leafs fans can’t wait for him to be gone saying he is not engaged in the game enough.
From what I’ve read I want zero part of him.
The Leafs want to much.
I might do Ghost for Nylander straight up.
Thats without looking at salary cap implications.

Travis Konecny, Shayne Gostisbehere and a conditional second round pick for Match Marner. Leafs are about to lose Tyson Barrie to UFA. Konecny costs less money.

Jake Voracek for just the rights to Taylor Hall.

It’s ridiculous, I know.

Man up and make a balanced bet rather than one heavily weighted towards your end.

Nylander's Corsi is 60.5% this season.

Not bad for a disengaged guy, huh?

I would do that Marner deal in a second. But I am not seeing Toronto even take that seriously.

I don’t usually watch the next game after the Flyers are eliminated. Curiosity got the better of me. Now, I remember why... it’s depressing.

It was nice of Boucher to point out that the Flyers don't have anyone on their team as fast as Brayden Point. Thanks, bud. Needed that reminder.

I would love Nylander but the fact is the cost isnt going to make sense for us.

Leafs may ask for Provorov which is end of conversation and even if they take someone like Sanheim or Myers who is playing their minutes? If a prospect was ready to make the jump its a bit of a different story but I dont see that as of now.

The only way it fits for us is if they take a defensive prospect that isnt currently on the roster. I dont know if that is something the Leafs are considering as they are trying to win now. Not only that Nylander leaves a huge hole in the Leafs lineup that already lacks secondary and depth scoring.

A Marner for Voracek+ deal would probably make more sense for both teams. That gives them extra space they need and they get a similar player and some extra. Still a bit of a stretch though.

Its good for us to watch this, so we understand the gigantic gap between those who are pretenders and those who are actually contenders.

Nylander's corsi for the season was 54.61. In the playoffs it was 51.67. Get your facts straight.

We can re-watch last years playoffs also and see TB get knocked out in the first round. Funny how that works and how things can change in the NHL from one year to the next.

All four division winners got dumped in the 1st round last year. That was pretty wild.

Also, if I remember right, Tampa was up 3-0 in that first game when the wheels fell off.

I did a look last year of the history of the previous 2 seasons playoff status of those who win the cup. Often it takes multiple defeats for the same core to reach the finals.
