He out produced his closest linemate by 46 points. Tavares is producing better offensively this season than any other Bruin that season. I’m not sure your argument has legs here.

Lots of subjective drivel that’s been overdone in this forum. I assume since you value goals>>points>>defense you would have preferred Kyle Connor to Nylander and Marner over that same time frame?


I’ll speculate he re-signs. So 10 years of Pietrangelo vs 14 of Nylander. They re-signed all of their other top players so why would Pietrangelo be the exception?

Which still has nothing to do with the fact that he was on a top line with top linemates.

If you talked about overal impact, Marner had more impact than Nylander

If you talking about quality/price, Nylander bring a better quality/price. So depend how you want to see this.

And if Toronto would had trade nylander for pietrangelo, maybe they wouldn't had trade Kadri in a desesperate trade to fix D. They probably wouldn't sign brodie 5M .

That would affect every decision leafs made and a lot of thing would be diferent

I don't think the Kadri trade was exclusively, or even mainly, a desperate trade to fix D.

If we had to sign Pietrangelo it would almost surely have been for more than $6.9, so we'd be in even worse cap problems.

Too many variables - fun to speculate, but that's it.
 
Minten plus Robertson for B Schenn at 3 million

Connor Murphy (50 percent retained)
For
First round pick plus Niemela
Kampf(cap purposes)

Luke Schenn (50 percent retained)
Third plus Timmins

Knies Matthews Domi
Nylander Tavares Marner
McMann Schenn Pacioretty
Lorentz Holmberg Dewar

McCabe Tanev
OEL Murphy
Rielly Schenn
 
I've had enough of bringing in old guys and hoping they produce as they age out of the league

If we're giving up assets it's time to think of now and the future, young guys on bad teams can improve in better situations, they can score more with better linemmates, they can improve as they hit there mid to late 20's

I know which one I'd rather roll the dice on

Any word on how Jacob trouba has been playing since the trade?

Always wanted him but seems to have had a hard time this season

He has come back a bit because he was truly horrendous last year. $8M AAV is the issue because the Leafs are stretched to the limit to pay their forwards. I actually think he could be a bounce back candidate but they would need a low purchase cost and 50% retention IMO which I don't see the Ducks doing. If the return isn't there they just keep him till next year.

You're gonna get Luke Kunin, Laughton or injured Gourde, unfortunately.

I’m sure they are not giving him away by any means but there is just no way his value would be that high. Sensationalism

I would have to think they get less for him than ROR. Same age as ROR is but it’s 2 years later and he’s locked in at expensive cash for a middle class team.

We should send out a fax telling all the other organizations that Robertson, Holmberg, Minten, Niemela, Steeves, Abruzzese, Timmins, Kampf and a 1st somewhere down the line is in play.

Brad's phone will be ringing off the hook.

We are last in the league for D goals at 13.

The Athletic put out a piece on Toronto's Top 5 best d-man trade targets, and their goal totals: 1, 1, 4, 1, 1 I guess that helps defensively, but doesn't seem to help the lack of offense from the back end.

Saw the article mentioned but I’m not a subscriber.

Curious who the put as the 5 targets, not that I’m much of a Mirtle fan but I did see Chris Johnson also contributed so I’m curious.
