RIP Stan Lee.

What would a blockbuster Nylander + Gardiner package bring back this way?

I want him signed.

Which teams are not right up against the Cap? Arizona, Carolina, New Jersey, NY Islanders?
Any body that can help us, and take on potentially up to $8M per season?

disappointment?

Nylander needs to be signed and traded for a #1 RHD or it's a failure.

LOL, I should have said "...in addition to disappointment". I was just extending the thinking where Mike mentioned Gardiner's upcoming UFA.
Would you do Nylander + Gardiner for Doughty and ??

I'll take Pulock...too bad Trotz is now coaching and is using him unlike tweedle dee and tweedle Jack Capuano was one of the worst coaches in the past decade in the NHL...dumb.

True.

Nylander's not getting 8 mil on any NHL team, never mind Toronto.

If he did, someone would have sent in an offer sheet near the start of the season or even before.

No one's stupid enough to give 8 mil to a guy with 2 years of experience, no sign of improvement year over year in points, and getting only 61 points while playing with Matthews and also getting top line minutes (not 3rd line like Kadri).

Hell, Bozak on the wing could've potted 50+ points with his stone hands, and he was dominating faceoffs too.

If he was on no-name market team, he'd be lucky to get over 5.5 mil a year. I primarily blame the media in Toronto over-inflating numbers while not being aware of what players get paid around to rest of the league for the same output.

Matthews has never put up more than 69 points but they're talking about him getting more than McDavid at over 100 points. Weed might've been legalized recently but the media here was smoking it way before that.

Also, apparently Pastrnak wasnt good enough of a comparable...lol...I'd trade 2 Nylanders for'em at this point.

A lot of teams, like Arizona and Carolina, will never be able to pay anywhere close to the cap max. It's irrelevant discussion for them. Arizona has to cheat just to reach the floor yearly.

LHD. Does not compute.

According to some in here, that proposal was 'gross' or 'ridiculous'..

@ Buggy, I'm praying these fools give Matthews $12M, he can't even stay on the ice.

Let Gards walk, promote Liljegren next year.

Spit balling.

Which #1 Dman do you have in mind?

Ekblad, Pietrangelo, Doughty or Hamilton OR GTFO.

Who is the kings backups backup? Budaj? They’re running out of goalies.

The deal would make sense.

Any idea which Euros the Leafs might take a look at to add coming off-season, Adam?
