Trade Nylander for Parayanko, Neigbours and conditional second rd pick O(first if he re signs with st louis or they advance past second rd)
1.) 15 Dec 2023 12:00:00
At this point I’m open to all Nylander trades. Never had someone bother me by the way they play as much as Willy does. So soft, no 2nd effort, no drive, no backcheck, no compete for the puck, lackadaisical line changes and race for icings. Fastest guy on the ice when there is a chance to score, when he has to back check he looks like a slug. Guy has the most talent in the world, too bad he has no heart or backbone, could be better than Matthews. Sorry for this huge rant on your trade proposal. I accept. Lol.
2.) 15 Dec 2023 14:45:30
@Clarky no worries about the rant dude. we all feel it when Willy plays lazy. He is Alexei Kovalev 2.0.great when he is on his game. looks horrible when he does not feel like playing hard.

I think whatever made Brodie collapse with Calgary on the ice has somewhat returned . The first 2 years he was a leaf he was everything u wanted out of him. Last year playoffs I saw his play drop off considerably and opening shift he falls against Montreal resulting in a goal and it has been all down hill for him since. He must have some heart or lung issue because nobody regresses that quickly. Too bad because I like his game the first 2 years he played for leafs

How peculiar Nykander has not recorded a point in 4 games after signing a ridiculous contract. New it was a mistake from the get go
1.) 17 Jan 2024 17:51:24
Poor timing slump forsure but still tops of the leafs and league for points no defending the contract just hard to put it on one guy right now when the whole team stinks.
07 Jan 2024 15:04:43
Not sure if this violates The CBA but if the Leafs extend Nylander. I'm hearing 11.5 x 8yrs( a big mistake if they do he will be 36 ) can they still trade him before the deadline as he only has a 10 team no trade clause and that team would assume the extension the leafs gave him ?
1.) 07 Jan 2024 16:34:01
I'm sure they could, but who else would have signed Willy to that kind of money?
2.) 07 Jan 2024 17:04:54
This is a terrible mistake kinda like the guy who signed Huberdeau. Whoever that was?♂️.
3.) 07 Jan 2024 17:45:12
Huberdeau signing/ trade was applauded by all at the time.
Captain Hindsight is at work here.
4.) 07 Jan 2024 18:19:53
Well, meet Captain Hindsight for this Nylander deal. Nice to meet you LL! Can’t believe they would pay this guy more than Pasta. ?♂️.
5.) 07 Jan 2024 18:31:20
@LL. I would say the trade was applauded and I still think it was a good trade for Calgary. Who would ever have thunk Huberdeau would fall of a cliff. The signing I think there was some negative. I know I for one thought it was too much. Although the Weegar signing was possibly a bit of a steal.
6.) 07 Jan 2024 18:55:13
@ leafs life and clarky 17
lol yes I get it was Treliving who signed Huberdeau in hindsight to that overpaid contract. But the trade itself was great. He got Weegar Hubereau a first and good prospect for. a Guy (tkachik who publically said he wanted out not a bad trade for a guy with his hands tied. And the difference is Nylander publically states he wants to remain a leaf So I can’t figure this mess out.
7.) 07 Jan 2024 20:50:18
@Clarky I'm in total agreement on Willy. He should not be making 11+.
8.) 08 Jan 2024 03:21:03
I love Nylander, but have the agree $11+ is ridiculous. Wait till Marner get $12.5/ $13?
Just crazy!
Welcome to Toronto.
9.) 08 Jan 2024 11:48:33
Even Tags thinks it's an overpay. Didn't see that coming lol.
10.) 08 Jan 2024 14:16:38
I don't believe it breaks any rules with the CBA because his current contract would be still valid until then. What it would do, if the Leafs haven't told Nylander they may still trade him even if he signed the extension, is create a really bad PR problem for the Leafs and make it very difficult to get players to want to come/ stay here if Willy signed the agreement with good faith that he was staying.
11.) 08 Jan 2024 22:01:38
@LL I have to call a spade a spade. It's too much money for a 2RW, especially if Marner is resigned which I believe he will be.
@RLF 100% agreed.
12.) 08 Jan 2024 22:03:44
But I’m still stoked we resigned Willy.
29 Dec 2023 21:00:53
I do believe Treliving has to give Nyander a drop down date to sign well before the Trade Deadline. He does not want another Johnny Gaudreau situation and Nylanders agent is brutal
Plus they can sign him possibly in off season (hand shake arrangement) but can't risk losing him for nothing
1.) 30 Dec 2023 01:13:35
He's looking at Johnny Hockey money right now. I can't see him taking less.
I think he may have priced himself out and now he'll be an own rental.
Not a fan either, but that's what it looks like unless Shanny pays 12m.
2.) 30 Dec 2023 03:35:01
@ leafs life
Well isn’t that good I thought Johnny hockey signed for 9.5 or am I mistaken?
That would be reasonable to me he is a good player but I hate when some players play their heart out in a contract year . where was all that in past 5 seasons.
3.) 30 Dec 2023 13:33:43
He may be getting points but he is freaking terrible if he doesn’t have he pick on his stick. I personally wouldn’t give him more than 8M (and I’m fine if he walks) because he is a one dimensional lazy hockey player that only cares about his own stats. If he cared about team stats, he would back check or battle for a puck. It’s too bad that he is so soft and has no drive b cause I think he has more talent than Matthews. So much more value can be added to this than Willy for the money he wants. His Dad is his agent btw which is the reason every contract is like pulling teeth.
#TradeWillyCampaign.
4.) 30 Dec 2023 14:44:14
Gaudreau got $9.75M a season ago. It's the 11.82% of the cap Willy would want. It's contract cap % a lot of agents argue for comparison. At 11.82% of the projected cap next year, Willy would get $10.34M per season. Too much for my liking as is the $9.75M.
I have said this many times before. Willy is an amazing talent, but his lack of defensive responsibility is directly responsible for way too many scoring chances against. His lack of effort on backchecks and his backcheck choices cause too many goals against. He's a puck chaser. You can't give a guy that much money that won't play both sides of the puck. Pasta just got $11.25M per and I can't imagine anyone suggesting that Willy is even close to Pasta as an overall player. Talent is comparable for sure, but overall game? It isn't close.
5.) 30 Dec 2023 14:49:34
@L1993 sorry, should have explained that better.
Johnny Hockey signed for an overpay during a flat cap and nobody knew how long until it would go up.
Willy is signing for a significant %of the cap, like he did.

@ leafs life and RLF
Thanks for update and input
I ll try to research before posting
But i get and understand your point of view.
7.) 31 Dec 2023 00:13:06
1993. All good. I can see why some Want to keep Nylander.
22 Dec 2023 00:13:21
Brodie and Samsonov have to go that's all I have to say .pathetic if your watching the game
1.) 22 Dec 2023 13:13:53
Been saying this since the offseason. Brodie is not worth his contract anymore. Keefe moving all over the place, even back to left side and out McCabe on the right and still looks out of place.
2.) 22 Dec 2023 15:27:04
Brodie is simply playing way to many minutes and playing a role he probably can't handle anymore. The issue for me is, if you remove Brodie, you know need two D for sure imo. If we got Peeke and Fabbro, like I would like to see, I am fine with moving Brodie. I just don't think swapping out Brodie for an upgrade on him alone without getting another piece makes us that much better or no means it's a Cup contending D.
22 Apr 2024 05:00:49
When Marner and Tavares contracts are up in 2025
The leafs should sign 3-6 million dollar players and 1-4 million dollar players with that 22 million cap space
No more of this core 4 contracts with a bunch of fill ins.
19 Mar 2024 22:44:01
@ tags 97
Your signings are reasonable and probably what the player is actually worth except maybe Liigren should get 2.5 Aav
Lindholm signing is very brilliant and reasonable
And Roy or Parayanko would be my right handed defenceman target.
14 Mar 2024 20:15:03
Marner is a Toronto born player he axed 2 offer sheets I would have a hard time believing he would sign an extension to play for another team…just saying.
04 Mar 2024 22:50:33
@mph don’t you think the leafs could get a mid round pick for Gregor or Jones instead of nothing for waivers?
I like Jensen just not his contract.
04 Mar 2024 22:47:11
Nice proposal.
15 Feb 2024 00:12:38
It is to no surprise that Cowan almost 2 pts per game average leads London knights first in the OHL and Minten 1.5 points per game and leads Saskatoon Blades first overall in WHL
Drive me nuts when your giving their only future for a rental where leafs have no chance to be successful this year
They definitely should be sellers this year and keep their first pick
Next year different story as they don’t have their first (Chicago)
I wish I’m wrong trust me but their game has way way too many holes to be successful this year
They have a lot of good pieces but some guys like Brodie, Kampf, Robertson Samsonov etc are easily replaceable
Sorry for venting.
17 Jan 2024 12:40:21
@ckps1976 yes McMann not ready give Steeves a chance.

Indeed
I watched that on 2nd intermission too
And add Samsonov he can’t stop a beach ball right now.
