Proposal: TOR-PHI 6 Player Deal Giroux and Nylander the main pieces

[ForSpareParts*]

TOR decides that their winning window is sooner. PHI sees their winning window as later.

To TOR
Giroux
Del Zotto
Mason

To PHI
Nylander
Kadri
Nielsen

PHI gains a talented playmaker (Nylander) for many years, center depth for many years, and a future Right handed D.

Toronto gets their top C while Matthews develops at 2C. Del Zotto plays with Rielly on the top line. TOR gets their back-up goalie.

That package doesn't get Giroux alone

 

[Gecklund]

Wow that's absolutely terrible

 

[Lou Lamoriello]

Deal. I'll have Lou call them an uber.

 

[Acetylene]

Sorry, Philly fans. Highway robbery going on. No way the Flyers ship G for that package

 

[JKG33]

My apologies Flyers' fans. This guy is clearly nuts

 

[DarylO]

Toronto passes. No interest in mortgaging the future for spinning our wheels now.

They don't have the supporting cast to compete. Continue to draft and develop, stay the course.

 

[mashedpotato]

Aren't Nylander and Kadri slotted down the middle for the next 5+ years?

Babcock rarely favors backups - he'll ride his #1 into the ground; having said that, Toronto's need for a backup will likely be proportional to his expected use; which is to say, not a whole lot.

MDZ playing on the top line is a bold move; Definitely not the correct one, but a bold one.....

 

[CodeE]

Did the Flyers draft Claude Giroux's not-as-talented little brother in the 6th round or something? A Jamie/Jordie Benn situation perhaps?

you forgot to add Matthews. Not just being snarky either.

 

[Toby Flenderson]

More like marner+kadri+1st for just giroux

 

[mashedpotato]

Why stop at Matthews for Giroux?

Should be more like Matthews, Rielly, Marner and a 1st for Giroux.

High five philly fans!

 

[Hogan86]

Leafs don't want Giroux. No deal.

Wouldn't do Giroux alone for that package

Not the 1st time someone posted a horrible trade between Philly and Toronto

 

[Dabest]

More like marner+kadri+1st for just giroux

Ill take Matthews + 1st too

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

oh wow... I assume you are a Leaf fan?

a lot would need to be added for just Giroux

 

[Space Coyote]

you forgot to add Matthews. Not just being snarky either.

Sure if the Flyers are adding Provorov.

 

[ponder719]

Yeah, if Toronto decided they had to have Giroux, then Philadelphia would be adamant about the deal involving Matthews. Accepting anything less than a prospective generational superstar would get management crucified, even taking into account what Toronto's prospect pool looks like.

 

[Starat327]

Not the 1st time someone posted a horrible trade between Philly and Toronto

Yeah, the irony here is pretty delicious.

Terrible value for Philly. Like, atrocious. I can see why Toronto fans would like to just stay the course as well.

That being said, Having Giroux for a little while, as your 1C, and Matthews as your 2C, then swapping in a few years would be a dream scenario, and before the Flyers went on a tear last year, is what i had dreams about.

 

[Jerzey Devil]

As a Devils fan, I do this as a Flyers fan.

 

[belair]

Who is Nielsen?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

What's up with all these Willy Nylander trade proposals lately.

 

[Maukkis]

Who is Nielsen?

He's just hanging there

Anyway, a ****ing horrible proposal. I wonder if people have actually forgotten that proven commodities are, you know, a hell of a lot more valuable than prospects. Especially if they happen to be one of the top forwards of the league.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Who is Nielsen?

Left handed shot Defensemen Andrew Nielsen I assume.
Will be playing defense in Lethbridge WHL. Toronto Drafted Nielsen 65th overall in the 3rd round in 2015.

 

[Maukkis]

Left handed shot Defensemen Andrew Nielsen I assume.
Will be playing defense in his 1st pro season with the Marlies. Drafted 65th overall in the 3rd round in 2015.

What am I missing here... he's from the CHL, so how can he be eligible for the AHL yet?
