Easy. 4 million dollar difference.

If Nylander can stick around and generate offense even close to Marner it absolutely is worth it... Because neither of us have to get into what you can do with an extra 4 million bucks in the cap world.

They both have the same knocks against them really...
- joel878

Ok, but who are we getting back to make it worth it? Nylander's return better be huge. None of this Brett Pesce poop...

Dubas can move his 15th overall and Lilljegrenb or even Sandin for a top pair D. It doesn't have to be Nylander.

I think Willy cracks 80-90 points next season.
- RogerRoeper

ok.
How does he fit a top pair d's cap hit on the team without depleting our remaining depth?
Plus we'll need cheap D.

Saying 'Brett Pesce poop' is nothing but evidence of what a complete waste of time you are in this discussion.

OUR D ARE AWESOME, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

LEAFS CUP CHAMPS 2020

But who are we getting for Marner? Kind of important...
- RogerRoeper

Jones, Jenner and Korpisalo?

Terrible return. That's who people expect. Much more should be expected for Nylander.

He can fit Paryko or Ekblad with a Jonsson trade.

It would be really nice if we had Brett Pesce

Marner is worth the extra 4M. He is a different animal than BillNy and a far more complete player.

Trade Nylander and AJ. Sign AP.

Terrible return. That's who people expect. Much more should be expected for Nylander.
- RogerRoeper

Well, you can expect the world if you want to.
But that's not reality.

He can fit Paryko or Ekblad with a Jonsson trade.
- RogerRoeper

Maybe, but we also have to assume that the Blues and Panthers are going to want a good return for those guys

If Marner was a top pairing defenseman, I don't think anyone would care about the large cap hit.
It's because we have 3 forwards making well over $10M per season, two of which are centers. We've seen that all the successful teams have two top line centers .. Which leaves our Marner..

Moving Marner will help fix other issues that this team has.

If there's anything Raptors championship has taught me it's that sacrifices need to be made sometimes.

- PatC80

But not for Nylander.

- RogerRoeper

Pesce is a legit top 4 RHD, you have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm legitimately afraid to ask this question... But who should be expected back for Nylander?

He can fit Paryko or Ekblad with a Jonsson trade.
- RogerRoeper

but dubi has other roster spots to fill and pay for as well.

It's a deep draft 7th is no joke. Severson is a top 4 dman and Zacha is still improving.
- bmoney411

Marner is over a PPG player. This is so lopsided its not even funny. Severson isnt some top pair d, and the 7th while valuable, its unlikely to be as good as Marner.

Zacha is the same age(23) as Marner, and isnt really that good. Then you add Dermott, and still young dman who has potential.

- bmoney411

Eh, Demar was late 20's and had been there almost a decade. Different situation.

but dubi has other roster spots to fill and pay for as well.
- Fakepartofme

All very cheap areas to fill.

There's only so many legitimate top 4 defensemen who are actually available to be traded for. Who are you expecting to get for Nylander?
- gergeswillems

I would consider him for Ekblad.

Dubas can move his 15th overall and Lilljegrenb or even Sandin for a top pair D. It doesn't have to be Nylander.

I think Willy cracks 80-90 points next season.
- RogerRoeper

who?

what team in the NHL is trading one of their top pair d for the 15th overall and lil or sandin?

cause, sorry, I don't see a single team doing that

- joel878

The Leafs need a legit top pairing RHD. Pesce is decent but I don't think he has the pedigree to play the hard mins this team needs the top pair to play.

All very cheap areas to fill.
- RogerRoeper

Cheap, ya so we can watch them golf in May.


Yay.

- Ross77

Blues won't get much more than that in an offer for Payko.

Cheap, ya so we can watch them golf in May.


Yay.
- Garnie

Yes that Spezza deal what a bust

Well, you can expect the world if you want to.
But that's not reality.
- Fakepartofme

In a perfect world, Johnsson alone would be enough to get Parayko, but that's not gonna happen..

It would cost us Nylander to get Colton Parayko
