Leafs trade Nylander and a 3rd to LA get Quinton Byfield

LA would never do this trade.

How can you clearly say that? New york not taking that trade I get, but if la wants a quick retool they might do this. There is no guarantee byfield makes the nhl. Remember a guy named puljuarvi? Bet Edmonton wishes they traded that 3rd oa for someone of nylander's calibre straight up.

He never gives a reason lol.

If ownership wants a fast retool they take this.

LA is also deep in centre prospects and could use a good winger. They are in the crosssfire of wanting to give it one last kick at the can with Doughty and Kopitar, or going full on rebuild. If they made this trade, it would mean they are still trying to win a cup.

I’m going to assume they use the cap space freed up by this trade to sign a 1RHD. Otherwise Leafs are a worse team next year. I have a hard time seeing Byfield stepping right in and instantly getting 30g/ 70pts like Nylander. Especially since Byfield would have to be our 3C. If he even makes the nhl next year.

If we sign a 1RHD like Brodie after, this deal makes a lot of sense, and I would rather they do something like this than trade for a 1RHD outright. We maximize our asset value that way.

Leafs trade Nylander for Tom Wilson

What's with all the time Wilson trades lately? He's a decent player and I like him as well but he isn't a game changer.

Johnson, Timishov, 2nd round pick or Liligren for Domi

leafsgm is Thomas still a bust?


2.) 03 Jan 2020 23:54:58
I don't recall anyone saying he was a bust. I recall a whole lot of people saying he may be a bust as of then. I also recall you stating anyone with Thomas point totals at the time of discussion was a bust and that's how it all started.


3.) 04 Jan 2020 00:34:22
Thomas was never called a bust. he was compared to kapanen and you took offence to that because you are so freekin emotional about your blues.

Sorry if the truth hurts.


4.) 04 Jan 2020 00:47:32
Do you still think Bennett in Calgary is a bust?

I haven’t seen Thomas play lately, but his stars would put him up there with Kapanen. A real solid third line player that can be used on the 2nd line in case of injury.

I never said he was a bust. I said he wasn’t a 1C like you seem to think. If not living up to the hype is your definition of a bust, then yes, Thomas is a bust. As is Bennett. And Zacha. But if you mean not becoming an nhl player, then no, all those guys are solid middle six players.

Random reply to an unrelated post Redwing.

Thomas isn't a bust. He will have a spot on a third or 2nd line for much of his career.

Johnson and Timishov for Domi
Johnson and Bracco for Domi

Montreal won't do that.

Culture change add more grit Tom Wilson's for Nylander

Roker1958

1.) 21 Aug 2020 07:12:26
Culture change requires more than Tom Wilson. Everyone seems to throw around the term grit like with Wilson your an immediate favorite for the cup. It just isn't true. Unless MNMT can all show up every night ready to play it means nothing. Mathews did. The rest didn't.


2.) 21 Aug 2020 15:54:54
Yes because Wilson Did so much better vs the isles didn’t he? Wow what A difference maker he was. Yes that grit really made a difference .


3.) 22 Aug 2020 04:53:23
Hey MPH didn't that other gritty team just lose to Vancouver as well? Lol.

I'm on board for adding more players that make an effort but this undefined "grit" everyone throws around drives me insane.

Boston has 3-4 highly skilled players that also get in your face, fight, throw hits, go net front, etc. That's why they are perennial contenders.

Second post I really think that Leafs should consist Kassian deal for either Hyman or Brown
He kills penalties and has sandpaper

I am relatively new and usually only view trades . However the insistence of Nylander on every second trade is just brutal,
