Boston declines

Give up Nylander for a guy who just had double hip surgery and wont even be available until December or January. Poor asset management there Bud.

so lets just say marchand plays three years here and dosent resign, then nylander resigns with boston for 8, what happens then?

May decline......but Marchand is not going to like being part of a rebuild.

Chicago laughs and hangs up the phone

He won't like being in Toronto more

There is so much wrong here... my God

I thought Hawks are looking for a goalie?.......Marek career goals against average is respectable.

Marchand is worth the gamble........Big time hockey player who would push Leafs towards a Cup.

He's 34 coming off of double hip surgery. Possibility he might nor have more to give.

The Leafs get to keep Marchand for the next 3 years which is their window to win a cup while Nylander might just walk after 2 years.

Behind the leagues best defense at the time in Carolina and then Toronto overpaid him not recognizing that small detail. He's not not worth anything, Leafs need to buy him out or pay to move him. Holl is worth nothing to the Hawks either. They have two very good prospects competing for the 3rd line D on the right behind Jones and Murphy and Holl is not going to block them meaning he's a scratch.

yea. not giving up nylander for a 34 year old marchand

Marchand loves playing in TO ......and has had some of his greatest games playing in Toronto.

thats not what i said. i said what if we dont win, marchand walks and nylander resigns with boston

I actually read an article today discussing that the Hawks and Davidson may be interested in helping out Leafs as Chicago has lots of Cap and Davidson owes Dubas a favour for a trade that collapsed at the deadline.

Are you saying that Nylander is a better player than Marchand?

Yes.....but Nylander can also walk away from Toronto after 2 more years while Marchand still playing for the Leafs.

Davidson doesn't owe Dubbas anything. As The Athletic reported, Mrazek will either cost the Leafs a 2nd or Abruzzese to move him to the Hawks but the Hawks are one of the few teams willing to take that cap dump

hes 26, marchand is 34, end of story

I thought Davidson was the GM who told the media about the proposed Chicago/Toronto deal........which upset Dubas.

I think you are right that Hawks would want young prospects and draft picks for taking on Cap of Marazek.

Age is meaningless......The Leafs have a 2 year window to go all in a win while Matthews still signed.........Marchand would put them over the top like Kawi for the Raptors.

im aware of that. what if he does resign. thats what im saying

Do you think Robertson can make the Leafs next year?

Definitely decline.

Maybe not, but why would a rebuilding team trade for a guy thats going to be a UFA before the asset they’re moving…especially when the guy their moving is pretty likely to be better than the guy they’re acquiring for the duration of the contract, and is cheaper.

Doesn’t make much sense.
