IF (again, IF) the Leafs get squeezed on the cap and need to move Nylander to clear space for Marner/Kap/Anderson would Buffalo make a good trading partner? Alex Nylander is still down in Rochester and maybe acquiring his brother would be the motivation he needs to take his game to the next level?

To BUF:
- William Nylander

To TOR:
- 2019 1st Rd
- Zemgus Girgensons
- Will Borgen

This is a disgrace

For cap reasons, the Leafs might have to trade someone...like Nylander for futures with no money being returned for the Leafs. But this is not a good deal for the Leafs. Other suitors will offer more to offer.

I’m no Nylander fan but you don’t base his value on a poor portion of a season.

You be the first one saying that if someone said the same on Pie early in the season
No I don't think he holds the marner type value that leaf fans thinks he has I think kappy is the better over all player especially his speed. I think being over paid also loses value.

At this point who cares where he goes as long as you get value. The only reason he would be traded is to fit marner in and a dmen

Moving forward he’s likely not overpaid. 60+ point players will be treading towards that cap hit.

If I was the Leafs I’d move him for a RD top 4 even if I had to add. I wouldn’t ship him out for a poor package though.

After July 2nd plenty of teams will want the cap hit verses the actual dollars owed.

Nylander for 4th liner, mid 1st and B prospect...haha yeah no. npt close in the slightest.
Willy is coming around (5pts,+6 in his last 5) so he isnt getting sold on the cheap

Why does Toronto do this, I don't know much about Will Borgen, but leafs are in win now mode, and this puts them back.

The only trade involving Nylander is a 1 for 1 RHD coming back that has term, a good cap hit, and is similar age to Nylander.

That's it.

We don't need prospect packages. We need to win.

yeah basically a ristolainen type but someone who is not god awful in his own end
buffalo doesnt have the assets to make a trade for willy.

As a Sabres fan - Nylander for Risto? Absolutely no chance.

Nylander for Mitt - i would actually consider this but I'd need to be convinced Nylander can play C at an elite level. This is something I'm doubtful about...

OP is a bad proposal for Toronto.

Be a smart azz all you want marner at 11 kapp at 5 means nylander at 7 has to go. Good luck


Nylander is signed at 7 and Marner might hit 11 on a long term deal, but there is absolutely no way Kapanen is getting 5. Most likely gets bridged, proves himself for a couple more years and then gets that kind of money ( or more) once the Leafs can afford it.

We shall see. I did just notice his production has dropped. You may be right.

Yeah, no kidding, dude can straight up fly. Never get tired of watching his goal against Boston in last year's 1st round.
If leafs blues did by some chance trade kappy is the guy I would want hands down over nylander. Thomas and kyrou are by far our fastest skaters. Putting them with kappy would be crazy fast. Obviously kyrou is still developing but is ppg at 20 in the ahl

That would be a sick line, but as a Leaf fan I hope it never comes to fruition. Unless of course, Pietro, Parayko or ROR were coming to Toronto, but that would require a bigger package than Kappy.
