Proposal: Toronto/St. Louis Blockbuster

[AllDay28]

Mitchell Marner became the first @MapleLeafs player to begin his career with 40+ assists in three consecutive seasons. Only five other active NHL players have achieved the feat: Nicklas Backstrom, Patrick Kane, Evgeni Malkin, Alex Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby

but he'll get dealt for Piet

ahahahahhahahahahhaaahahahahhahahahahhaaahahahahhahahahahhaa

might wanna follow another sport cause hockey passed you by.

 

[TK 421]

Shhhh If they think he sucks the terribad trade proposals might stop!

Oh yeah, what I meant to say was that Petro has fallen off a cliff and kicks puppies in his free time.

Is that the kind of individual you want on your team Leafs fans? A puppy kicker?

 

[PerryTurnbullfan]

Steen

For

Bottled cup sweat

 

[Dan Kelly]

Nope.

betcha if Alex Pietrangelo was willing to sign long term with the hometown Leafs they'd do a Nylander for Alex P. straight up. the Leafs are loaded up front with scoring and Alex would be a top notch addition to the Leafs D. isn't a guy like this apparently what the Leafs have been looking for?

Apparently STL offered him for Nylander before he signed and Dubas said no.

So i doubt it.

So i doubt it.

...and I'm sure you have a legit source for this information that you don't mind sharing.

I'm sorry but that "report" looked like horse**** Leafs fluff propaganda to me.

It was 100% pure Friedman speculation back when Nylander was still unsigned.

Obviously not fact, but that won't stop it from being repeated as such.

 

[simon IC]

Nylander isn't available.

Good.

Of course they would. That would be amazing for TO

 

[Majorityof1]

Neutral fan here. I see this as very realistic if the Blues were to go full rebuild while Toronto trys to accend to the top of the NHL.

To Toronto: Pietrangelo, Steen(50% retained)

To St. Louis: Nylander, Gardiner, 1st rnd pick and Liljegren.

My god man, a Blues RHD to Toronto for Nylander as a base!!!!!! That is a revolutionary idea. How has nobody thought of this before????? Quick, someone call Doug Armstrong and tell him Toronto needs a RHD. Alert both fan bases that they could be discussing this heretofore never before discussed trade. Amazing!!!!!

 

[Offside2408]

He came back last night after missing 11 games total. The guy's wife had triplets this summer, last year he scored 15 goals and tied his career best of 54 pts. This notion of him having an off year is certainly true but have a look at contextual factors like coaching issues, the triplets and the Blues being an inconsistent mess altogether this season and his play is a lot easier to understand.

No doubt this summer will have people suggesting he's "regressing" or "declined" citing his point totals without mentioning the factors I mentioned or him missing those 11 games.

That’s awesome! Glad he’s back. Don’t get me wrong. I fully understand all the factors that contribute to an off season. They are expected and natural. No player can have a career year every year. I’m a big fan of him and always have been. Just IMHO the days of massive returns are long over for veteran players without term. Talent aside picks and promising prospects are way too valuable for deep teams up against the cap. Young guys are taking over and making way more then ever before greatly increasing the value of those EL contracts This is evactky why almost every trade these days for star players seem to get way less then what most people think. Especially people on these boards.

 

[DougGilmour93]

B prospect
Nothing prospect
1st
3rd


Doesn’t get you a Parayko-like D-man

Man, you are just clueless...it’s sad really.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Man, you are just clueless...it’s sad really.

Yes because Liljigren is a blue chipper and Bracco is still considered a prospect. Lmao

In what world does a signed Petro with a hometown discount = Nylander?

 

[DougGilmour93]

Yes because Liljigren is a blue chipper and Bracco is still considered a prospect. Lmao

Ahh yep.
Bracco is putting together quite a respectable season down in the AHL.

Dubas was hoping to have Liljegren play at the WJC and then the intent was to call him up mid January. Dubas likes to let his prospects develop and bring them up in the new year. (Like Dermott)
Liljegren was suppose to be on the top pairing for this years Jr squad. Not really something you’d scoff at.

 

[Mike Liut]

Id rather have Kapanen + Liljegren + Johnsson for Petro than Nylander

 

[Pyrophorus]

We just got pounded 6-1. Please, please, explain to me how a one dimensional, defensively suspect forward and an offensively minded defense prospect are worth our top defenseman.

Led the league in neutral zone takeaways.
Now, show your work

I think we're giving up way too much

 

[Pyrophorus]

Id rather have Kapanen + Liljegren + Johnsson for Petro than Nylander

so...Kyrou and your 1st is coming back too?

 

[Mike Liut]

so...Kyrou and your 1st is coming back too?

Sure, since you are adding Marner

 

[Whitsmith803]

Id rather have Kapanen + Liljegren + Johnsson for Petro than Nylander

Rather have Nylander Sandin and 1st rd pick

 

[Dominicr]

Why wouldn’t the leafs have the money to sign petro long term at 9 or 10 per? They are about to lost Matthews to either Arizona or Montreal so that frees up money.

 

[Liferleafer]

Man, you are just clueless...it’s sad really.

You're arguing with a Habs fan that spends more time in Leafs threads than Habs threads....save your time for something worth it.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Why wouldn’t the leafs have the money to sign petro long term at 9 or 10 per? They are about to lost Matthews to either Arizona or Montreal so that frees up money.

Matthews would likely saw his own foot off before signing an offer sheet with the Habs. 1 footed Matthews would still be a better player than their organization has.

Arizona cant afford him, they cant afford their own team.

 

[BangarangxRufio]

Rather have Nylander Sandin and 1st rd pick

i would do this deal in a heartbeat
