If anyone was a flight risk, it was Matthews, and he stayed. I don't see any reason why Nylander would leave. There won't be another team that can pay him as much as Toronto will.
Maybe not, but someone could.
He’s strong enough, just can’t move quick enough to defend top line forwards. He’d be great as 3rd pairing guy.
He is not strong enough I don’t know what your seeing hes like 185 obviously he’s still a man but he’s not strong smart nor skilled enough to be up there
He may not be heavy enough, but his biggest weakness is his lack of quickness. Either way, I still think he’d be a good pick up for a Cup contender.
I think they need to acquire one of each. They need both offense from the blueline and more strength on the blueline.
the need D that can primarily defend, offense would be a secondary bonus imo...........
Not that I disagree but Brodie's shot is so weak that every defender on the ice can't wait to get in the shooting lane, knock it down and take off the other way for an odd-man rush.

Who cares? Siegel is a diehard Dubas fan. Cant stop talking about himNothing earth shattering as I've always felt Shanahan wanted to keep the core and Dubas was ready to change things up.
If I had to bet on the odd man out, I'd go with Mitch:
Kyle Dubas was close to trading core Maple Leafs player before being fired?

I think any GM chatter around a major trade was to deflect attention from making any other changes (Keefe?). Practically nothing from Kyle's past with Toronto or current tenure with Pittsburgh suggests the trading away of a core player is part of the M.O.Nothing earth shattering as I've always felt Shanahan wanted to keep the core and Dubas was ready to change things up.

I would need to know what he actually did first.
The rumour is silly and offensive to another player's family. I'm also pretty sure something done between two consenting adults would not have resulted in this outcome. Hockey players have affairs, groupies...whatever all the time. Clearly, in this case Perry did something above and beyond.
