Why the heck not, another trade for a top right hand d.
Leafs get Roy, 3rd
Kings get Kapanen, 4th
The kings have a cloge at right d. Walker, doughty and Roy. He's really cheap and I think this would be great.

Agree0 Disagree1

I thought you were getting a top RHD. Roy is good, not great, far from elite, and may be the best 2RHD in the league (he's not imo), but he is definitely not a top RHD.

I try to use precedents when figuring out trade value. Using recent precedents, Kapanen for Roy ses like an overpay. But of a gamble considering his age and the fact he just finished his first season. He might be a late bloomers. Then again, I thought the same thing about Manson and Montour both, and they have done nothing but go downhill the last couple years.

See with a guy like Roy, it’s his next contract that will be the deciding factor. If he wants an extension now he probably gets 2.5-3.5 million depending on length. If he wants to wait another year to try and increase what he is worth, then it may be a bit higher.

However, he is 25 now, and although he had a great year, especially defensively on a terrible defensive team outside Kopitar on LA, is one year really worth our best middle 6 forward? I’m not convince it is. I think there is a much greater chance Dubas throws together a package of Johnsson+ for him or Kerfoot straight up. I don’t see him paying more then that as he could get a much better and much more proven Defenceman then Roy for Kapanen.

I still like Roy, and I think he would succeed in Toronto so I would have no problem bringing him over, but offering up Kapanen seems like a large overpayment imo.

I would take out the 4th on our side and see if they would be willing to send over maybe a B prospect.

The deal is believable because we do get a bit of a cap dump. I can't see Roy getting more than $2.5M tops. Same as around Dermott will, and what Holl got.

Kapanen, would have career numbers in LA. He is easily 2RW, and could probably play on LA's top line, and he would also get more PP time there as well. He's a good fit, and LA can afford him.

The problem is, Roy is not a prospect anymore. He's basically a 2nd line guy.
A good one, but not a great one. He's an older Dermott, in that way. So the value seems low for a proven top six RW on a team friendly multi-year term, that scores 20g/ 40p and has upside.

So if LA would throw in a prospect of some sort, like LeafsLife suggests, then it's a better deal. Maybe Vilardi. That might seem like too much, but he has a life history of back problems that has affected him constantly and dated his development. LA has Turcotte and will be drafting Byfield.

Of LA threw Vilardi in and worked the trade around that so show, that would be better. Any other ideas who might be a good throw-in if not Vilardi?

Yes it was just one game, so I guess that you all did not watch all the regular season games this year and last. Nylander is overpaid and overrated and rides the coattails of Matthews and Tavares. So yes we have younger and cheaper players that can be in the lineup than him. So I guess you all missed Robertson out there fighting in the corners and mixing it up every shift. So yes Robertson is trying to get a job on the leafs and should Nylander as he thinks he only has to try when he wants to.
Again trade the bum!

I think you put this in the wrong spot park but I'll respond anyway lol.

Always the same hate for a 30/ 70 player. Yet Marner as a 20/ 90 guy is beloved by this city. I don't get it. As soon as Gardiner left it became Nylander. When Nylander is run out of town who will it be then?

30 Jul 2020 10:44:59
Marner. Lol. In fact, given the choice, I'd run him our first just cause how much he makes.

31 Jul 2020 02:14:36
Funny as well how Marner isn't "riding coattails" he is making everyone around him better. I guarantee if Nylander and Marner ended a season with identical stats people would mimic this thought though. "Marner made Mathews into a 50 goal scorer! " And "Tavares is why Nylander played so we'll". When we take into account how many points Marner had the last few on years on the PP as opposed to Nylander it's even worse for Marner. Nylander was never given 1st PP duties and Babs seemed to love to hate on Nylander as well.
