Nikita Soshnikov or Connor Brown or Leafs 2017 2nd

Take out Hutton, Tanev, Virtanen, Gardiner, Nylander, and Soshnikov/Brown/2nd and it works

 

[JT Kreider]

This is a great deal for Toronto.

 

[TSN Jdog]

Do you have a connor brown/tor 2017 2nd fetish. You propose that in almost all your threads. This is so unrealistic and won't ever occur. Leafs will not trade nylander for tanev, and the nucks are happy with tanev so they will keep him and button to continue building there defense unit. Also gardiner is a very good dmen himself, we are not going to trade him when he's signed for a sweet deal.

You have to give up value to get value. If Gards was a righty he would be sick but you saw how good Mo was when paired with Tanev at the Worlds. Unreal pair.

 

[Kelly]

That's a pretty solid deal for Toronto I'd take that. Two top 4 D and Virtanen. Even better if it's the 2nd/Soshnikov instead of Brown.

 

[RyderRocks73]

Toronto loses this big time. Especially with Gardiner involved.

 

[Paneerboy]

He's a resilient one

 

[Josepho]

Jesus Christ that's difficult.

I'll say yes.

 

[TSN Jdog]

A lot of mixed responses in this post. Some for Leafs, some for Canucks. Is there a way to add a poll so we can truly see who is the winner?

 

[Rex Banner]

Take out Hutton and Virtanen and it's close.

 

[Currysux*]

Gardiner < Tanev
Nylander >>> Virtanen
Brown/Soshnikov < Hutton

Idk if the difference between Nylander and Virtanen makes up for the other parts of the deal.

Lol funny. Maybe if the Canucks add Juloevi and Leafs add a 2nd.

 

[eviohh26*]

Canucks pass.

 

[GWNR]

Damn that's tough.

Definitely would have a very hard time giving up Nylander, but that would give them 3 very solid young top 4 guys when you add in Reilly.

I doubt I do this if I'm Toronto. Nylander is going to be very good.

Definitely not as far off as people are making it sound.

 

[Seatoo]

Dear lord no. This is atrocious for the Canucks. We give up 2 top 4 dmen and a local boy who was recently a 6 overall pick for a #4-5 dman, a very good prospect (or two) and a pick.

Awful. Simply Awful for Vancouver.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

Not close for me. Rather explore options like Nylander for a Provorov or Werenski calibre D prospect if Zaitsev disappoints. This trade leaves us with a still mediocre-at-best defense and Virtanen does nothing for me.

Only way this makes sense is if you see Gardiner as a "4 or 5 guy", in which case there's no rational discussion to be had.

 

[JT Kreider]

Gardiner < Tanev
Nylander >>> Virtanen
Brown/Soshnikov < Hutton

I view it as Hutton= Gardiner in value. Might even lean towards preferring Hutton.

Nylander would be a fair return for Tanev.

Virtanen> the other stuff.

Easy win for Toronto.

I think everything you said was wrong.

 

[Trapper]

No way both teams move all those pieces.

Maybe the Canucks decide to move Tanev (or not) but that would certainly be the only major piece in the deal getting something else major in return.

I definitely have interest in Tanev. He is a major piece we'd be looking for. We aren't getting him and the rest of Vancouver's future though.

So a top 5 prospect gets you a top end #2 Dman, but someone like Hutton has more value than a top end #3?

Also the other stuff includes Connor Brown. The Leafs best prospect out of the obvious 3, he is better than Virtanen

 

[TeamBester]

Nylander is a stud, he will be the best player out of that group.

Someone needs to post the latest version of him. Think it's on his Twitter. Him on the beach kicking a ball around. His thighs, oh my.

He may be a pretty boy, but the kid is a beast

Which defenseman do you think you'd get in return in a deal for Nylander?

 

[McCluffin]

Laughed way too hard at this post. Well done sir.

Another classic proposal

I don't think that's the part of your equation he was complaining about. Try the other one.
