Bruins suck.
Pastrnak isn't that great of a player.

Personally I'd like to see Gardiner + Nylander + 1st (+?) for Seth Jones + Boone Jenner
- MaximusAurelius

I don't see that happening, there hasn't been a deal like that in the NHL in forever.

Futures for a player or one for ones is all you will see.

Jones isn’t going anywhere.

This too

Have to look at teams that actually may consider trading a D

He and Mascherin were quite the duo.
- Steven_Seagull


I liked it when he was on the same team as the great Logan Brown in Windsor and he was the best player for them when they won the Memorial Cup. And Logan Brown was useless. Just along for the ride.

80 points at 21 is pretty damn impressive. He might be the best of his draft class.
- Blazed


and he looks like he is only going to get better. I don't think Nylander compares favourably to him.

It is either Matthews or Nylander

An option I can realistically see is play Pleks with better wingers to shut down Bergeron.

Hyman-Matthews-Kap
Lievo-Nylander-Marner
JVR-Bozak-Johnsson
Marleau-Pleks-Brown

(frank) idk, Babs has a tough decision that is all I know

- Santo_44


This all actually sounds like one of the better plans Babs could go with.

Having Kadri out really limits his options. I think we need to get Matthews away from the Bergeron line if we're going to have any hope in winning.

Giving Pleks a chance to redeem himself as the shutdown guy and then giving him the best wingers to help him accomplish the task seems about as good of an option as any we have available.

Carolina seems the most obvious one.
Maybe Nashville if they don't win due to lack of offense?

Dallas / Arizona / Calgary / St Louis... ?

Now Logan Brown is with Mascherin here in Kitchener

Wouldn't that be Hyman and Kapanen? (instead of Marleau and Brown).

Brown has been very very mediocre these two games.

Pasternak looks like the better player at the moment, but Nylander is still a very good hockey player. Did the Leafs make a mistake in not taking Pasta? Probably. But then so did over 20 other teams.

Willy is one of the best players in that draft. Considering all the misses and meh players taken in just the top ten, let alone the whole first round, I'm pretty happy we ended up with Nylander.

Bracco, and Liljegren doing well too.
- Steven_Seagull


Good, because they are going to need those guys to be inexpensive NHLers when komarov bozak JVR and either Gardiner or Zaitsev are gone and they sign a Free Agent Dman.

Nylander Zaitsev and a 1st for Seth Jones.

Sign Tavares.

Sure whatever. Or have Hyman on a line you plan on producing more offense, rather than just having a goal of shutting down the Bergeron line, since he's actually been one of our better offensive players during this series.

The point was setting up Plekanec with decent defensive wingers and the role of shutting down Bergeron et al.

made me wonder why the leafs dont stack their pp like that vs boston when their pk is so good

Also think they should pair Rielly and Gardiner together, play them like 30 minutes. (frank) it.

I’d swap Leivo and Marleau. I was thinking that if we don’t get a 3C this offseason, Marleau-Nylander-Marner would be a good line, and Johnsson-Kadri-Kapanen/Brown another.

Kadri is pretty established as a 2-way C, so having two young 2-way wingers would be a good match, and the Nylander line has 3 guys who can all play C, even though Marleau doesn’t want to, and neither Nylander nor Marner have established themselves... it’s a good opportunity for them to grow, while Marleau helps with some of the heavy lifting, if need be.

are you still with your shtick that Nylander is better than Marner??

Marner and Matthews should be only 2 true untradeables on this Leafs team

Nylander was better until Marner went full McDavid in the second half. Never said Nylander was better since. You highly underrate Nylander and overrate Marner still.
