I would imagine that Toronto would just trade with Arizona themselves because they need d men more than they need forwards

2 posts in a row where Arizona winds up with Nylander for Chychrun. I just don't see how that makes sense for Arizona who are contending for Bedard.

There’s no way Arizona does that. More likely Vancouver ships Miller out for picks and a cap dump and then flip those picks out with something for Chychrun

It's funny how everyone on this site still thinks the Leafs defence sucks despite mountains of evidence to prove otherwise. Their goaltending last year wasn't very good. Infact 27th overall. But it's the defence fault somehow. Campbell was almost universally called a backup last season but now he's going to make the Oilers a contender and Murray is definitely the worst goalie ever now.

well if they were smart they would take him and he only has 2 seasons left under contract. they could retain 50% or less and get a huge haul for him.

So why not just do that with Chychrun who only has one more year of term.

you are right the bais on the site is crazy.

well it will be an extra year they have that money on the books. Nylanders yearly salary is only 2.5 mill so they would pay 1.25 vs Chychrun has 3 years at 4mill, 5.4 mill and 7 mill so they would have to pay more dollars which they dont like to do. so by doing nylander they save real cash.
