Don't think this is good for the leafs unless you really think Nylander won't resign or you have s plan to move out Tavares to be able to afford Hubby

They very likely aren't

I suspect that Willy will walk as leaf’s won’t likely give him what he will get on open market. I’d rather have one year of hubredeau and watch him walk then the two with Willy.
Unfortunately I don’t see a scenario where Tavares gets moved. Great player and if not for Covid and the flat cap, his contract wouldn’t look quite as bad. I believe Tavares has been and still is a vital piece of this roster and should have a much better year this year if he can get a playmaker on his wing.

1 year of Huberdeau for 2 years of Nylander and those assets?! At what point is this more about Nylander being gone than Huberdeau being here

That's so bad for the leafs., not only is huberdeau older and with less term, he's not gonna score like he did last year and his extension is going to be terrible. Oh and if you hate Nylander's defensive and physical efforts, you're gonna want to ship huberdeau to the center of the earth for his

Yeah, that makes no sense as a reason to move willy. Huberdeau is going to get like 9+ for term and it will be a bad contract, so the leafs would be better letting him walk.

Ya this doesn’t make any sense. If you wanna add hubredeau you wait out the situation and see if the flames become sellers this year. You add him around the deadline at half retained for picks and prospects to go all in on this playoff run.
Just about every contender would wanna make that deal tho so price would be high for a rental.

I wouldnt do this, I think Nylander signs a 8.5 x 8 deal to stay with the leafs Huberdeau will likely command 11 million+

Seattle would decline, given where they are it makes no sense for them to give up their top RHD and a draft pick for two pending UFAs who everyone knows Toronto is trying to move.
