McDavid and Mackinnon for sure 100%, Eichel, Draisaitl I have to think long time about that one, no to Kucerov and Hedman, would love those guys but Mac is too valuable and younger than Hedman.
I would do that, not sure the Sharks would, but Meier would be a great pickup.
That is too much for Ekholm alone, add Forsberg and B's add couple more pieces.
I thought about him during the outdoor game. It is strange as most of us have never met and we all live in different parts of the world, but we are kind of like a family on here, we at times argue and disagree, but in the end all cheer for the same team.

Tkachik fir DeBrusk + would be amazing but I guess it’s not happening

Makes sense, because when I think of the Leafs. I immediately think....they need more forwards
Unfortunately most of them aren't as good as they had hoped, definitely not the most mobile bunch.
Don't know why Nashville would want Nylander, talented player but absolutely disappears when the games become important.
True and Weber is slowing down now, Petry is probably their best D, Romanov looks ok so far as a rookie, the rest are not so good.
Ekholm would be a big "get" for the Leafs... If I'm Toronto that's the guy I'm looking for.

If I told you “no” for Crosby for McAvoy, I’d be lying.I wouldn't do McAvoy for Kane. However, would you do a one for one for Crosby? What players besides McDavid would be worth McAvoy? And I am guessing none of it will happen, but it is an interesting thing to think about.
I’d have to think about it more, but a team with Crosby, Bergeron, Marchand, Pasta and a hot Tuukka? Tough to beat in post season!!!

That would worry me.
Swapping a good forward for one that’s a little better doesn’t.
TBH, I think goaltending is their biggest issue.

This trade makes no sense for either team.
Nashville gives up their best young center that they can rebuild around for a guy who has never been able to make it at the center position in Toronto. Nylander is weak on the walls, vanishes completely when you need him to step up, and has his dad talking to him about contract negotiations. Dermott is a middle pairing throw in D piece. Liljegren is Toronto's best and possibly only good D prospect.
I could be way off here, but this makes NO sense for either side to me.

They need cap room. Nylander is a name that is popular right now in trades for the same reason DeBrusk is here. They already spent to get Muzzin and they also signed Brodie.
I mean, I suppose they clear up space with dumping Nylander into Poiles lap, replacing him with Robertson. Then inserting Ekholm.
I just don't know if a Nylander for Ekholm is something that will happen between the GMs.

I don't see Sweeney making those potential trades for Ekholm.

Lost me when they thought Ekholm was going to net a transcending talent

Expansion likely eliminates a Bruins Ekholm deal
