Quoting: DirtyDangles
I have offered up #11 OA and another piece multiple times and been jumped all over by Leafs fans claiming he is worth more. With his cap hit and terrible year, he just simply is not. He isn't even worth the #11 OA IMO.
I haven't seen that particular AGM, but it depends on the piece, and who is available at the draft in that position. That is just the value part of the equation.
In terms of the Leafs making a fair trade, you would have to overpay for Nylander, as the goal would essentially be to draft another Nylander, which makes no sense considering his age and the fact that Dubas would torpedo his reputation in the league.
No one is saying Nylander is valued at this price you posted here.
Maybe you offered too little, or a fair amount in the other AGM, I don't know and it doesn't matter. Assuming what was offered was fair, you have to ask why the Leafs would do that. Its the same reason why CBJ wouldn't trade Jones for anything but a gross overpayment, as it doesn't make sense for them to do so.
