I don't see a trade...

sorry I did an edit for Pontypool and Mikhey to make the $$ value even closer to equal. Just over 100k difference is salaries now.

Toronto Mcdavid>Mathews
Draisaitl >Marner
RNH=Nylander
Nurse> Muzzin

I see it now

Toronto does by a landslide;

McDavid is better than Matthews
Draisaitl is better than Marner
Nugent-Hopkins is better than Nylander
Nurse is better than Muzzin
Bear is better than Holl
Koskinen is better than Campbell
Puljujarvi is better than Mikheyev

Matthews vs McDavid= EDM
Marner vs Draisaitl= EDM
Nylander vs Nugent-Hopkins= TOR
Muzzin vs Nurse= TOR
Holl vs Bear= EDM
Campbell vs Koskinen= Same
Mikheyev vs Puljujarvi= EDM
Therfore EDM loses and TOR gets a steal

McDavid > Matthews
Draisaitl > Marner
Nylander > RNH
Muzzin > Nurse
Holl > Bear
Campbell > Koskinen
Mikheyev = Puljujarvi

Its close.

By that theory Edmonton would have the leafs record and the leafs would have Edmontons record, but they don't. The top two players are obviously McDavid and draisaitl. After that the leafs take the edge Nylander is better than nugg Muzzin is better than nurse Holl is better than bear Campbell is better than Koskinen and I would say rn mikeyev and pool party are equal but pool party will surpass.

It’s all about opinions.

But obviously an opinion has to be based on stats and facts. Not just a laundry crush.

Yeah it does have to be based on stats and fact. So tell me, how is Muzzin better than nurse? How is Holl better than Bear? How is mikheyev even close in value to Puljujarvi? Seems like you are the one making stuff up.

Nurse has been absolutely stellar this season. He’s played tons, put up some key goals, and through all of it been sound defensively. He’s also 6 years younger than Muzzin.

Bear averaged over 21 minutes a night as a rookie on the best regular season Canadian team. Holl was no where near that good last year. And It was just a freak accident that caused Bear to miss time this year, he was on the bench when it happened.

Puljujarvi has been playing really hard defensively responsible hockey, and oh yeah, he has great offensive upside and has started to break out the last while. I think he’s got 6 goals in the last 10 games and it looks like the sky’s the limit on McDavids wing. Really, you’re saying Dubas could call up Holland right now and say: hey want to do Puljujarvi for Mikheyev 1 for 1? That’s just crazy. They’re not even close to being “about equal”

You clearly didn't read it. As of right now there equal taking in to account character and all around game, obviously pool party will be far better playing with McDavid but let time determine that and see how good defensively he will be or if it drifts off. As for nurse Muzzin, Muzzin is the much better defensive player yeah nurse has more production but that doesn't constitute a better player. Bear and Holl are both league average defenders I just think holls size and speed put him above bear
