this happened earlier this summer and blues fans said kapanen wasnt enough, and wanted nylander.

the thread rightfully ended there

Hold on....Blues fan asked for Nylander for Edmundson? ********. Ill need to see proof of that. It may have went along the lines of Blues wanting Nylander, but not for Edmundson

that isn't gonna happen for obvious reasons. Hyman has chemistry with matthews and nylander so doubt he is moved but sosh could be had.

Not sure I'd describe what Hyman has with Austin and Willie as chemistry. They've been a great line but it's 99% the other 2 guys. A high effort physical type player is a nice compliment but his puck skills are seriously lacking and he should be upgraded asap. If the blues wanted to trade Edmondson I'd much rather move Hyman than Sosh

Seems like a decent player but would rather the Leafs look for a bona fide #2 RHD to play with Rielly thus moving Zaitsev to the 2nd pairing with Gardiner. Therefore trading any of those asset's for what would be a bottom pairing D is a no go for me.

Not a knock on JE. I think he is a good player and if we didn't have Zaitsev I would be much more interested.

I would be looking at Connor Brown, Zach Hyman, or maybe Nikita Soshnikov. Would obviously prefer Brown.

You can literally have Hyman just to get him away from Matthews and Nylander. I don't even care what you give me.

If Babs would play him on the 4th line where he should be this wouldn't be an issue.

Do you watch hockey games? What chemistry do Hyman have with them? He's great on the PK, he's great hitting people and sometimes retrieving a few pucks. Anytime a puck has to go from his stick to Matthews, or Nylander's or vice versa it almost never happens. When it does it's them passing to Hyman and Hyman puts a little weak shot on net or misses completely. Hyman completely lacks any offensive skills.

So much chemistry he has 1 point while the other 2 have 10 and 11. Thank god we have a PP that Nylander can get points on because Hyman is a total black hole.

I am not sure why you are bringing that up in this thread, there has been good conversation and insight, no need to derail it.

I'm all for adding D prospects but they gotta be a RHD.. it just doesn't make sense to add more LHD with Reilly, Gardiner, Marincin playing LHD as well as quality prospects like Dermott and Nielson developing.

We should be acquiring the best talent available, there is no guarantee that Gardiner or Marincin will be with this team for a long time, they could also be trade bait to get their much desired RHD, its not limited.
