Nylander is worth more than the whole Habs roster + prospects at this point, honestly.

 

[rent free]

leafs decline without any hesitation.

Nylander will be a ppg+ player in the near future, you will not get a guy like him for those spare parts.

Pffft...

Leafs would laugh and hang up as they should.This coming from [me] a Hab fan.

 

[KPower]

Maybe the Habs should trade for an actual center one of these days.

 

[TheScandal89]

no thanks, for a division rival to pry him from us will take a massive over payment.

 

[coupe93]

Dial tone, number blocked!

 

[Randy Randerson]

very hard no from the Leafs

 

[HabsTown]

Please don't go there, it's absurd to have this extreme point of view. We all know Willy is worth a lot.

To the OP : This offer is really bad for Leafs

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Nylander is worth way more and he's not being shopped

That proved impossible for the Leafs, so they ended up drafting their way out of their problems.

What??? I expected to read Kotkai when I opened this thread.

 

[BAM]

Nylander + Brown for Weber and your first this year, no protection on it

 

[Duke Silver]

Nylander + Brown for Weber and your first this year, no protection on it

WHY would the Leafs take on THAT contract.

 

[Super Hans]

Which team is rebuilding and needs futures and which one is entering a Cup window again?

 

[BAM]

WHY would the Leafs take on THAT contract.

Retain 50% of it

 

[Randy Randerson]

WHY would the Leafs take on THAT contract.

especially with Weber missing most of this year with no assurance that he's going to be the same player when he returns at an age that it's statistically likely he'll start to noticeably decline

You aren't getting Nylander without trading something that hurts. That means Kotkaniemi or an unprotected first with a significant plus due to the volatility attached to that pick.

Why would the Leafs want garbage?

I'm sure the Habs will be happy to have a $3.9m hole doing nothing on their team for the next 8 seasons.

Andrew Shaw is already doing that anyways.

 

[Critical13]

If we took away all outside considerations of history, division, rebuild status, etc...

I'd be looking for something like:

Nylander+Zaitsev

for

Kotkaniemi+Petry

 

[KPower]

That proved impossible for the Leafs, so they ended up drafting their way out of their problems.

Not just the leafs, pretty much every team in the league with #1 centers.

 

[The Great Weal]

If we took away all outside considerations of history, division, rebuild status, etc...

I'd be looking for something like:

Nylander+Zaitsev

for

Kotkaniemi+Petry

Petry is twice the dman Zaitsev is and ever will be and Kotkaniemi is an actual center. Habs need defense prospects, they will get their center at this draft.
