Variation of something I posted a while ago around Nylander for Gaudreau.

Cal
Nylander 6.96
Kerfoot 3.5

Tor
Gaudreau 6.75
Bennett 2.55
Pospisil ELC
2021 2nd

Calgary gets the best player in the deal in Nylander for the RW where they are weaker and a 3C with speed and offence ability. They also get more cost certainty as both Nylander and Kerfoot are signed longer than Gaudreau and Bennett.

Leafs get a high skilled, but sometimes careless with the puck Gaudreau for the LW where they don not have a high end LW. Bennett is younger than Kerfoot and over time, could be an upgrade while playing a more physical game. Pospisil is a bit out of control at times, but has some skill and a good project F that would stick up for teammates. The 2nd is to equal value and the cost certainty that Cal gets in the deal. Leafs save about 1.2 on the cap.

Gaudreau Matthews Hyman
Mikheyev Tavares Marner
Bennett Thornton Vesey
Spezza Simmonds (whoever that day)

Nylander is looking like a better player than Johnny Hockey.

Did I not say that Calgary get the best player in the deal, Nylander?

Calgary probably won’t spend the extra million a draft pick or prospect on a very slight difference. Yes nylander is better but not by as much as u want to believe. Long term yes definetly but right now not so much.

If there ever comes a time when I say Leafs should stick with the bigger, more physical player, and that player is Nylander, then there is something wrong with the deal.
