I'd be happy with that for sure. But Byram better be NHL ready if that happens. If not I think they should try to bring nemeth back on a short term deal

No way, wouldn't do nylander for Barrie straight... Barrie is a RHD that outscores nylander

Well, Barrie outscored Nylander this year, but Nylander had back to back 61 point years as a 21 and 22 year old before this year. Have to think his holdout affected him this year. He's much younger than Barrie, and can play center which definitely adds value. Plus Nylander is much more valuable to the Avs than Leafs and vice versa with Barrie to the Leafs.

Even if Byram isn't ready, I think you have plenty of defense to get by for one year. Graves and Barberio have shown themselves as capable bottom pairing defensemen, and you have to think that there's a good chance Timmins is NHL ready this year, and Meloche will be due some NHL time. Don't think it would be a huge deal for one year, they have plenty of options on D and even if some don't work out chances are one of them will.

Nylander barely outscored Barrie the year before last, As a forward.. if nylander is so talented how come all I see is nylander to wherever ACGMs since he signed and was underwhelming all year.. guys not a character guy like all the people the avs try and go after

I think the reason you see that is because the Leafs already have two big tickets signed in Matthews and Tavares and will have another in Marner this summer. Nylander isn't making as much so he'd be easier to move to get some cap relief and help improve the defense which is a clear weakness for them. As far as his character, obviously the holdout was a bad look and sounds like he regrets it, but the guy is only 23, guys make mistakes when they're that age. Kind of hard to judge the character of someone you've never met.
