<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NR1203</b></div><div>Nah teams will surely want him. 20-goal scorer with a reasonable cap hit for the next couple years. Luxury the Leafs can't afford but other teams would want him.</div></div>

A 20 goal season in which he had an unsustainable shooting percentage (his first year was most likely his career year). This past year 3 (three) even strength goals in over 1/2 a season playing with one of the elite talents of the NHL. A flat cap year where about 20 other teams need to dump salary. Biggest asset is his speed, and is coming off a serious leg injury. 5 ft 10 winger who cannot win his share of puck battles in the corners and offers nothing in the physicality department. There is nothing reasonable about a 3.4 million cap hit for his current situation. Someone may be willing to give up a 4th or 5th round 2021 pick for him, but those few teams that can take on his cap hit will get better offers from other teams who are also looking to dump salary. He very well could prove to be 100% coming back from injury and his value would increase then, but Toronto needs to make space before next season starts, and unfortunately his value will be at it's lowest at that point in time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gordon_Bombay</b></div><div>Come on. Nylander had a down year two the last season. Besides that. Nylander is a much better player than Domi. Domi has no 30 goal season, 1 28 goal season, 2 in the 17-19 range and two with less than 10
Nylander has 1 bad goal socring season. Otherwise he was never under 20 goals and has 1 with more than 30i.

If Nylanders numbers are only because of his linemates, explain me how he won the MVP award at a World Championship? Also, did you see how many goals Nylander scores from right around the paint. Also, Nylander needs to fight less for pucks because he is a much better puck posession player. Even comparing Nylander to Domi is a joke.

Max is not Tie Domi. I loved the father, but definitley not the son</div></div>

Lol so you are going to use a 10 game tournament that doesn't have the majority of the best NHL players attending, and hitting is pretty much non existent. Ok then, why is Nylander playing in these tournaments, maybe because he contributed 3 goals in 20 NHL play off games. And I see you want to use Nylander's down year last year, Domi had a down year this year. So again, comparing the last 2 years, these 2 players are really not very far apart (statistically Domi has been the better player), and depending on the contract Domi signs, he will actually be a much better deal than Nylander. As a fan of Toronto you must be aware that cap hit is an important ingredient in a player's value.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gordon_Bombay</b></div><div>The Leafs would not trade Nylander for Max Domi, Basement Drouin and a 3rd round pick. So it makes no sense to even add Kapanen. Domi is a 50 point player and so is Drouin. Nylander is much better and also younger than both of them.</div></div>

Interesting spin on things. Domi is 1 year older. Domi has a better point per game average than Nylander over the last 2 years. Domi will not sign for 3.3 million, but most likely will be cheaper than Nylander's 6.9 AVV. Domi is not afraid of his own shadow and will go into the corner's to fight for the puck, and his plays with grit and sticks up for his team mates. He also has a positive plus/minus over the last 2 years combined, unlike Willy. And Domi did not have an elite line mate to inflate his points total, unlike Willy. Nylander is very talented, but there is not much a difference in value between these 2 players, taking into account all factors listed.

Sujet: Cap issues with no trades and flat cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Oiler3535</b></div><div>On what planet is Johnsson a 3rd liner?

I agree lack of bidders might keep return below a 1st, but again, you're missing the point. It's a cap dump for futures.</div></div>

Johnsson is a 3rd liner on any team that doesn't spend 50% of their cap on 4 forwards and then is forced to plug other roster players into roles that they shouldn't be in because they have no other option. How you think a player who can only muster 3 even strength goals in half a season playing with elite forwards should be on a top line is beyond me. If Johnsson was a bonifide top 6 forward, his contract and term would be a good deal. However his output on the ice is that of a 3rd line player, and playing with other 3rd line players it would be even worse. Just because a player is playing on the top line doesn't mean he is a top line player.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jack_</b></div><div>When he had better stats he was with Matthews and Nylander/Kapanen but this year he played mostly on the 3rd line</div></div>

His first year with decent stats he also had an unsustainable shooting % that he will not realistically repeat. He is what he is, an undersized, 3rd line winger with a lot of speed and likely will never come close to repeating his first season's point totals. Since his biggest asset is his speed, and as mentioned already he is coming off a serious leg injury, and has a high cap hit for a 3rd line winger, their will be very little interest from any other team, especially from now until next trade deadline. At that point, if he proves that he recovered from his injury and he can produce with less than elite line mates, a contending team may take a chance on him if they have a hole to fill in the bottom of their line up. Until then, any return will be minimal, and comparable salary will likely have to be taken back in return if a trade did happen between seasons. Most teams will be tight against the cap and will not be interested in doing additional cap juggling so they can take on an undersized, over paid, average 3rd line left winger coming off a leg injury.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>I think you can only get one third for Johnsson. And Ottawa probably wouldn’t take him, but there would be a team that would.</div></div>

I am not sure there is a team willing to give up a 3rd this year for him. Most teams are tight against the cap and cannot afford to take on 3.4 million of cap. The few teams that can (such as Ottawa) are going to get much better offers from other teams looking to free up cap space. There is a reason almost every leaf post has this guy being traded, they know his value compared to his cap hit is not great. There might be more interest at the trade deadline by a contending team when the cap impact for the year is lessened, and a team is looking to shore up their bottom 6 for a playoff run. By then teams will have a better idea of how Johnsson bounces bad from the leg injury as well.
