Proposal: JVR + Nylander for Ekblad

[LondonKendrick]

Remember that this was a rumored day on draft day, obviously if it didn't happen then it wouldn't happen today, just wondering how a couple years later this proposal holds up?

clearly a leafs fan.

If u wanna talk Ekblad, u gotta offer Matthews + Top 4 D like Rielly/Gardiner.

 

[SB84]

Toronto adds a lot.

 

[MMC]

Why would Florida touch that? Come on man.

 

[YennoItFlames]

Nylander + 2 1st in the next 3 years + Jvr + ?

 

[rhinoshawarma]

(cue "but ekblad had a concussion scare so take this before he never plays again")

Not even close. Matthews or more valuewise and Florida doesn't even need centres

Rumoured on draft day? By leaf reporters, right?

Not close

Not a panther fan


D-men like Ekblad do not come around that often and if I was the Panthers I would say Matthews is the one for one deal(if it was the Oilers the Panthers were dealing with they should ask for McDavid)--you build teams around Ekblad

 

[KaseMeOutside]

florida asks for mathews

you don't get to have untouchables with ekblad sorry bro

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Good god. No, Florida blocks Torontos number.

 

[Quiksilver*]

Nylander + Marner + 1st + Rielly is probably more like it.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

3 concussions in 2 years makes me a little nervous can't lie

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Nylander + Marner + 1st + Rielly is probably more like it.

When did Ekblad become Karlsson?

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Nylander + Marner + 1st + Rielly is probably more like it.

That's too much but it's closer than OP's deal.

 

[Legend123]

When did Ekblad become Karlsson?

Is 3 years of EK really worth more than Ekblad??

It certainly was talked about leading into the '14 draft.
1OA for 8OA + 25y/o, 30g JvR

OP wasn't claiming it should be done today. Just merely trying to have some conversation on how the proposal stands up and what needs to change.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Nylander + Marner + 1st + Rielly is probably more like it.

At which point we'd have to say no. We're not in the business of gutting ourselves to get Ekblad, and unfortunately that's what it would probably take.

There isnt a D man on the planet worth that much but Karlsson is A LOT closer to that and he hasn't had 3 concussions in 2 years

I'd say for a contender easily. Ekblad as of now doesn't compare, we just expect him to get there.

 

[Gentle Man]

Lol

[Kudo Shinichi]

To get Ekblad its Matthews +

 

[Halla]

Nylander + Marner + 1st + Rielly is probably more like it.

and toronto laughs and tells florida to never call back.

 

[Halla]

To get Ekblad its Matthews +

and then its hangup +. We waited about a decade for a #1 C.
we already have a potential #1D in Rielly. this thread is foolish

EKblad> Rielly at this point.

you dont give up Marner, Nylander and a shot at patrick/liljegren to make up that difference. this isnt Doughty we are talking about.
Mclellan has already said Rielly has been their best player so far.
50 pts with 1st unit PP time this season

I can't believe how offended some leafs fans get when someone says Matthews lol
