First deal seems like an overpay as far as value goes. Take out Holl and I think it's still an overpay but is something to consider just because we do get a top 4 RHD. He hasn't been playing well since coming back from injury, but if all it costs us is a couple guys we probably have to dump to make cap space anyway, then I would rather Dumba than the picks/ prospects we could normally expect dumping J&K.

Hoffman is a UFA, so no need to deal for him. We can just make him an offer.

As for Ekblad. Nylander for Ekblad is probably right. Or at least close. But I don't think either team makes that deal. Not because of divisional rivalries either. If a trade makes a team better, they will make it, regardless who the counterparty is. But this trade doesn't make either team better: Once Leafs acquire Dumba, Ekblad becomes redundant. So they will be reluctant to trade Nylander for him. As for Florida, while snagging Nylander would be a nice replacement for Hoffman if they don't re-sign him, they still lose Ekblad without any type of replacement on defense. Even if we threw in Dermott or Holl (assuming Holl doesn't get traded for Dumba), it's a major step backwards. I don't think they do it.

You included Holl to help replace Dumba, but only gave Florida a LHD to replace Ekblad. I guess Florida could move Weegar over to RHD (his is a natural righty), but a top line of Dermott/ Weegar doesn't hold much punch compared to having Ekblad quarterbacking the point.

I think it’s very unlikely Minnesota takes that as it’s basically just quantity for quality. I mean I guess it’s possible but I’m assuming they would probably want someone like Nylander for him.

Hoffman is pending UFA so no need to trade for him, but I think you will need Marner to pry Ekblad from Florida. Also big trades like that rarely happen between two contenders in the same division.

Nylander and spare parts will not get teams to trade a true #1 d-man like Ekblad while the 1st trade wouldn't entice Minny to trade Dumba, their #1 d-man. A quantity of average players rarely if ever gets a team to trade a top quality player so stop with these type of trade proposals.

Unless that top player is coming from the leafs right islandjet?

04 Aug 2020 19:04:33
No Randy you just over value and over hype all Leaf players and think that the usual collection of Leaf expendables can get a #i d-man or a top line forward. Then you have the gall to cry homer when trade proposals are turned down because you under value all other teams players.

If Marners contract makes marners value less than he is actually worth then nylander has the opposite affect.

Cant have it one way without the other

The fact nylander is owed only 20.5 million over next 4 years makes him more valuable than ekblad.

Islandcrap has no clue what real worth is. always undervalues huge contracts but never respects great contracts. get a freekin clue you troll.

Crapper12 Its not the Leafs 4 over paid forwards money due its the cap hit that makes trading for them troublesome. Get a clue that other teams don't have $90 mil cap space so trading a soft Nylander at $7 mil won't work for most teams. Crapper12 the Leafs will have to eat some $ to trade them so get a grip with reality.

@IJ
There are lots of teams that would jump on Nylander and his low paying contract. Teams like Ottawa and Detroit would love to use his AAV to reach cap floor without having to actually pay him the money. Besides. He is actually earning his money this year. Everything you say about Nylander applies to pretty much every player on Winnipeg. A bunch of one-track ponies that won't stand up for each other and are getting destroyed by Tkachuk alone.

Your all insane. We all know Laine is a solid 2 way winger. Future Selke winner and 50 goal scorer. Lol.
