Never thought i will trade Marner and Nylander but screw it, if they dont want to be part of Dynasty, let them go and lets build long term D instead.

Matthews as another one that wants out asap and get 19M per season was hard pil to swallow.....but ok.

Couldnt figure Hanifin, could be Dumba or Nurse or anyone on longterm that would be Top Pair brought in with the package....

i saw that Marner / Theodore + Tuch + 1st before; it frightens me as a huge MM16 fan that TML should really consider it

Rather Dermot and Kadri and the pick over Hanifan.

Since you asked me earlier, I don't mind trading. both Marner and Nylander but Leafs need centre depth.....either Kadri or Nylander has to stay.. Don't think Canes do that Nylander trade. Pesce still is their only long term RHD.

That seems like an overpayment for Hanifin, don't think he is much of an upgrade over Dermott and you add Kadri and a 1st.

Nylander and picks seems about right for Pesce. Some say Nylander is worth more and Pesce is the most overrated player, others say Pesce is a true #1RD. They likely trade Faulk anyway as he is a UFA in 1 year and Pesce has a great contract.

Marner trade, you likely get a good D, good forward, and a first. I just think there are likely better trades out there then this one. Pieces are there, but you likely get better ones from other teams.

Dont know why i was 100% sure Theodore is RHD.....defenitelly overpaid Hanifin there, after figured we need RHD to pair with Theodore, reverted to old idea with Hamonic.....

actually the whole idea is to create "5 years" of nothing to be re-signed or extended.

This is really good @laudan but it is unrealistic imo due to Vegas's cap situation.

I agree also with @palhal that trading away our centre depth is not a good idea, one of Kadri or Nylander stay.



Yo @onex I know you would love this
Where is @jamiepo

Lol...I did not quite post a ACGM on trading Kadri/Nylander but did suggest it.
About the Vegas deal, feels like Leafs aren't quite getting the top RHD I thought Marner would fetch.

The other deals are definitely intriguing!

Ye, noticed i overpaid and failed while thinking Theodore is RHD.

About C Depth....Kadri gone is a must, i was trading him last summer already when he came from two best Seasons and he would bring a lot back in ( and being moved down by acquiring Tavares ) now he just scrammbled down to his previous stats and he saw red for the second time. One more and we will be stuck with him for the rest of his contract and he will just walk after.....like JvR and Gardiner. Nylander in this case is the "screw it" part, if we lose Marner why not Nylander also, at least D is built for next 5 years.

On top of that i brought new 4y younger Kadri in and packed him with "above average" wings ( still to see ), lets see if all three will have 40 points after 82 Games.
