Leafs are better for a Cup run with Nylander. Certainly the Leafs don't want four years of 3.6m Goodrow any more than you.

If the Rangers could dump Goodrow somewhere else, this the value here is decent for Nylander. However, the Leafs aren't forced to trade him, and I don't see them being in a position to take a chance on Lafreniere. Laf needs to be somewhere where he gets a chance to be the guy.

Lafreniere and the 1st for Nylander is value. However, to take on Goodrow (which I would do knowing many wouldn't) isn't Korczak. That is gonna cost Matthew Roberston.

Leafs need another Marlie forward like a hole in the head. But a 6'1" 205lb LD who is a year away at 22? Yes, I would consider that.

I wouldn't do this trade as a NYR fan because I don't want to get rid of Lafreniere but in this theoretical situation I would definitely include Robertson in a Nylander trade

All theory here..... but really the value is there.

Rangers are in a similar posution as the Leafs really. You don't wanna move Laffy because he should he part of the long term, and right now, the Rangers are legit.

Leafs don't wanna move Nylander because the Leafs are legit, but is he part of the long term?

But I will say..... that first line with Nylander on it would be unreal to watch.

This doesn’t make the leaf’s better therefor they say no

Korczak probably develops into to a solid bottom 6 forward. Lafrenière is still developing but has yet to put up 20 goal or 40 point season. Nylander had more goals than Lafrenière had points last season and his 87 points were 4 points off Lafrenière's career points. So I don't see Toronto accepting Lafrenière and a late 1st for Nylander.

This is the type of move I'd expect from Dolan. They probably have to add but this makes sense. Would be a ridiculous forward group. Swap Cuylle to 3rd line and let Kreider/Z/Willy go bonkers.
