Proposal: Detroit - Toronto

[shortfuze]

At 7 mil per for the next 3…don’t see Yzerman taking that on

So is yzerman cheap or you think the contract is bad? Or just don’t want to spend 7 million during a rebuild?

 

[Tob]

Leafs are looking at this decision during the summer and for more value and impact that this deal. You'll have to fix this deal up a little bit differently.

 

[bellringer77]

I can't imagine Detroit would turn that down...

a highly paid player vs a player that is cost controlled and giving up a second to bail Toronto out of cap trouble isn’t appealing to me

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Wings don't need another winger tho-

Nylander is immediately better than every single wing we have. Yes, I'm including Tyler Bertuzzi in that too.

We have more than enough cap space and if you give me a 7M player who plays like a 7M player? I'm jumping for joy.

The cap space goes quickly. Especially if you start using it too soon. The way Seider,Raymond are playing they will probably be over 7 million dollar players. We get some lottery luck with Wright or another good player you bet they could be over 7 million dollar players. That cap space needs to be used wisely

I disagree. But each to their own.

By the time Nylander's contract is up... Seider is still going to be on his ELC. Raymond is going to still be on his ELC. Shane Wright will still be on his ELC. Zadina will be an RFA and will probably get in the neighborhood of 2M.

William Nylander's caphit is not a reason to not have interest in him.

another troll Leaf trade from this OP

just stahp.

What value is there in having a cost-controlled player if he's not producing?

Nylander would be Detroit's top line RW, and likely produces at about a point-per-game in that role

I understand the appeal of sticking with your young former 1st rd pick, but he's had a rather disappointing NHL career to date, and I think it's safe to say that Nylander is viewed as the more valuable asset at this point

So, I think Detroit would be better positioned simply by accepting the trade in the OP, and then flipping Nylander for more than what they gave up for him...

 

[Ice Mammoth]

I don't understand the meaning of this exchange for Detroit (UFA 2024 player). If the player stays in Detroit.
The tasks of the club are different now. The phone numbers of Toronto managers must be kept in contact. Such an exchange may make sense in 2-3 years (with other players).

I think Detroit's participation in the exchange makes sense in 2 cases:
Maybe in the role of a third team to save part of the salary. For a good price.
Maybe for a more profitable exchange on a deadline.

 

[Henkka]

Don't get the idea of Zadina fitting to Leafs Cup window, if there ever is a one.

Could see Fabbri going to Leafs before Zadina.

 

[McJedi]

Zadina? You must be kidding.

He doesn’t carry anything close to this kind of value. He’s an underwhelming player and looks like just another of the many uninteresting players from the 2018 1st round.

 

[Debrincat93]

detroit is not bailing you out.
pass.

 

[shortfuze]

detroit is not bailing you out.
pass.

or, you know, detroit would be getting themselves a really good player. but dont let logic get in the way of your thinking.

 

[dragonballgtz]

Any Detroit fan turning this down is nuts. I would happily drive Zadina to the airport.

 

[AvroArrow]

Huge win for Detroit.
I take that.
I run Nylander at C.

He's a horrible C tbh. He played C in game 5 against Columbus and was absolutely exploited the entire game. Great winger though on a great deal.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

pass.

Bailing them out of what? Nylander is absolutely worth his cap hit and has been maybe the Leafs best forward this year. Detroit wins this trade very easily.

 

[AvroArrow]

6.9M is highly paid ? He's a legitimate top line winger on a steal of a contract, we have no interest in moving Nylander.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Zadina will never be better then Nylander and if im the leafs the first winger i trade is Marner

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

Yes. That is why I drive Filip to the airport myself to make it. Love me some Nylander.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Yeah…how about no

If we don’t get Wright, this is on you, my friend. You just jinxed us.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Detroit does not need a winger that’s soft as butter

 

[njx9]

Paying a 2nd to upgrade Zadina to a player who actually scores? Done.

I can't imagine objecting because a trade might save MLSE or whoever some money. But then, I guess I care more about whether a trade improves the team I support than the potential benefits to another team.
