Maple Leafs - Blues Blockbuster Trade
Maple Leafs trade William Nylander and Morgan Reilly to the Blues for the 10th overall pick in the 2023 draft, Colton Parayko and Brandon Saad
1.) 19 May 2023 03:14:30
No thx.
2.) 19 May 2023 04:48:56
Mo was the only reason the series went as far as it did. He was a stud.
Leave Rielly alone.

That parayko deal is way to long I wanted him back when nylander was holding out saad is on the back 9 of his career the only good piece is the pick.

Marner to Chicago for the 1st overall pick in 2023
Matthews to Anaheim for the 2nd overall pick in 2023
Nylander to Columbus for the 3rd overall pick in 2023
1.) 17 May 2023 12:32:16
Anaheim is the only team that makes that trade.
2.) 17 May 2023 19:31:27
2 years of Marner, during a full, 5 year (minimum) rebuild, doesn't get you Bedard.
ANA probably says no as well, for the same reason as Chi. They are not one piece away from contention in the West and won't want to give up a future superstar (potentially) for one year of Mathews.
Nylander just isn't worth a top 3 pick.
3.) 19 May 2023 01:17:54
So basically Matthews for Fantilli. Ducks take it and run…. Laughing their ass off. No way you trade a legit superstar and league MVP for a maybe. Typical knee jerk reaction by leafs fan.

I can't understand why the fanbase is pushing to move Marner out of town but they want to keep the floater Nylander and Mr. RBC Ambassador Matthews? Time to get rid of the coaching staff and GM and get a better playing system in place with new GM and new Coaching staff. Fix the defence and have Marner focus on offence 100% of the time.
1.) 19 May 2023 04:48:08
Mathews -regardless of belief- is a generational talent. 60 goal scoring centre's, that play a two way game, do not grow on trees. Mathews blocks shots, is solid defensively and even hits. The hate towards him is something I don't honestly understand. if anyone is a selke candidate, it should be him.
Marner can't win a puck battle to save his life, disappears anytime the game is tight checking and can't skate with the top players in the league. Willy is an issue in a lot of ways, but Nylander possesses talent Marner wishes he had.
Just because Marner plays the PK, does not mean he is a 200ft player, nor that he is worth 11m.
2.) 19 May 2023 04:50:35
This take actually really bothers me.
Matner isn't Adam Oates. Mathews put up goals with garbage as line mates. He is the play driver, not Marner. Just because Mitchy is Canadian, does not mean he is the better player.
3.) 19 May 2023 11:50:37
I am a bit surprised that the marner is the one but again I’m not Thayer have to move one of the big contracts and like LL pointed out centres like Matthews don’t grow on trees nylander would be the easiest to move imo and I mean if the leafs can get a good return back for both move them both but I’m done talking about dubas being fired that guy gave us everything we ever wanted last year and you can see how he’s growing and learning the game every year keefe to me could stay but he has to be a lot better.

I have always thought of the 3 that Willy should be the one to move. but after listening to Kyper & Bourne ( and I know a lot of people don't like Kyper) they did say something that kinda makes sense. they said that guys like Marner and Willy, might be secondary guys on teams where the leaders do all the lifting, they used Penguins as an example where Crosby and Malkin play with more drive, think they called Malkin and animal, or how Ovie plays so much harder. got me thinking. I think they brought up how a guy like Kessel who had lots of talent but was not the guy tolead the Leafs won a cup there cause he was secondary. had the right carefree attitude when Toronto media did not bother him. but good old Burke put so much preassure making him the guy. because of what Burke stubornly gave up to acquiring him. I now believe Willy has the same attributes, skill with an attitude that works in media pressure. Willy is out new Phil. So i am more prone to wanna keep Willy and move Marner.
But that being said. we know how close Matthews is with Marner. would trading Mitch affect us being able to sign Austin. which is the only reason i would consider trading both Mitch and Austin cause everyone keeps saying Mattews holds all the cards when it comes to his signing.
5.) 19 May 2023 16:14:20
Nylander should get the better return because of talent to cap hit. imo
I am not for trading Matthews. Easier to win with Matthews as the guy than Marner or Nylander.
I have always called Nylander a complimentary piece and have compared him to Kessel before many times for the same reasons Loxley is mentioning. Marner has different attributes where he can be more effective than Wiily and others he is less effective. The issue with keeping Willy over Marner is what Willy may cost to keep him. What if Willy wants $10M per to stay? especially if Marner was moved his ask may increase.
I would move Willy this off-season and get Matthews extended and look at moving Mitch next off-season if there is no improvement in playoff success.

@RLF if trading Marner does not affect re-signing Matthews then i say trade both Marner and Willy. Dubas is already not coming back as of this morning. and JT is impossible to trade i think. let's shake this up and get rid of both, add some grit. Marner deal can be about getting a couple of forwards to add depth to lineup and trade Willy for a shut down type Dman.

This is terrible. Marner is going nowhere. Way more valuable to the Maple Leafs than Nylander. Marner kills penalties, is still a 100 pt player. Just imagine if he could focus on offense instead of having to help bail out the Leafs defence in the 1st half of the season. Marner and Matthews were worn out whereas Nylander doesn't play a 200 ft game. No excuses but Nylander is a skilled floater that plays in spurts. Please review the entire season before dumping on Marner and Matthews. The Leafs defence sucked in the 1st half until after the trade deadline.
01 Jun 2023 02:50:05
This has got to be the worst trade ever. Those WPG players stink. Marner is going nowhere. More like Nylander and Mathhews should go.
24 May 2023 03:28:47
If I were Toronto I would take this trade and run. The addition of Jarnkrok doesn't change from being added if you get Fantilli.
18 May 2023 01:24:43
This is crazy. Marner stays. Nylander goes. I will take the Canadian over the Swedes any day of the week.
17 May 2023 03:16:43
T. J. Brodie is no good. The entire defence of the Leafs, including Reily have got to go.
