The Hawks aren't going remotely close to this trade. Nylander is 2 years from being a UFA. He was a holdout for TOR and we're not giving into his likely insane demands.

you just compared holl to klingburg smh

I could see how this trade would be good for the leafs. For a rebuilding Hawks team this trade is so lopsided. No bueno, not even remotely interested. Now you want to package Knies and a couple of first rounders, let’s talk.

Hahaha nooooo. Was definitely not trying to give that impression. He's a cheap replacement of a spot on the roster for next season since Dallas is gonna be short on cap space, not a replacement for talent.

Faksa is horrid. No thanks

I know what you meant but it did read that way. LOL

The Chicago trade doesn't make any sense for either team. Leafs get far worse, losing the best player in the trade by a mile while they are in their playoff window. Lol good luck to a Kubalik and JT line. They will never score. He's a good player to have next to JT and Nylander (TDL target), but without Nylander's dynamic offence, it's not working. Chicago on the other hand is literally in the opposite window, so Nylander 2yrs from UFA makes no sense. Either does trading a young player like Dach.

Faksa is a fine player, but the leafs already have a defensive 3C that fills the Faksa role well for half the money. Would make sense to use $3mill cap else where or for more depth signing.

Lastly, I can't think of anything worse than Clifford being the LW for your shutdown line. Or Clifford even playing really.

Not doing this for someone who is multiple years older then Dach bros and has only 2 years left on his deal

Hard hawks pass. not close
