That is BAD trade for Calgary. Tkachuk and Nylander are almost equals in terms of goals/points but Tkachuk is worth SO MUCH MORE. When Nylander is cold he's just a pretty skater. In 21 games, avg 16:30 TOI/g, he has 7 hits. So he's not forechecking or defending... He's also 3 seasons away from being a UFA. Tkachuk lives in the crease and plays a role in for far more of Calgary's goals than the score sheet reflects. In his 20 games this season he has 66 hits. So he's never NOT noticeable. He'll also be an RFA when his contract ends.
Toronto was never better (in my lifetime) than when they had Gary Roberts. Josh Anderson would've been a great pick up, instead they went after Wayne Simmonds ....6 years too late.
