Stop trading Nylander for a middle Pair Dman

It's not what TheDream_43 thinks

It's what the best offer out there is

Keeping Nylander, if possible for both sides to agree on $7x7, will kick the can down the road and force Dubas into harder choices with bigger potential losses

No one WANTS to trade Nylander. The Islanders didn't want to lose Tavares either

stop trading Nylander for 2nd pairing players.... pssst.....Nylander isnt a top line elite talent either. back to back 20 goal 60 point seasons is great but stacking up to the rest of the NHLer, what makes him a lock to get Stud top pairing Dmen?

Nylander is a good young player but hes not a franchise player so to get a solid Top 4 Dman for him, thats not like its out of the realm of value for value

But leaf fans also do not want to pay the guy anything either.............

Lol right. They keep saying Nylander is a great elite player, but also say he shouldn’t be making around $7.5 mill. Makes no sense

It's not what TheDream_43 thinks, it's common sense. How many 20-21 year olds put up back to back 60 point seasons the answer is not many.

I'm not saying they won't trade him, It's up in the air right now. They won't trade him for a guy to sit in their middle pair though.

Wrong. He's not a franchise player, I'm not saying you get a franchise Dman for him. 60 point rookies that REPEAT that success at a young age are a lot more valuable than a plug and play second pairing Dman.

A second pairing Dman would suggest he's at best around the 60th best Dman in the NHL. Therefore, if you're going to argue that William Nylander is not a top 90 forward in the NHL, you're delusional.
