I think the reason you see that is because the Leafs already have two big tickets signed in Matthews and Tavares and will have another in Marner this summer. Nylander isn't making as much so he'd be easier to move to get some cap relief and help improve the defense which is a clear weakness for them. As far as his character, obviously the holdout was a bad look and sounds like he regrets it, but the guy is only 23, guys make mistakes when they're that age. Kind of hard to judge the character of someone you've never met.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Colorado does have amazing scouting yes, I'd say a hundred pt 22 year old who has all the tools of marner added to the roster while the avs are ready to win is worth as much as what they could possibly draft 5 years into the future, since they are already stocked up on prospects as you said.

I think is rather give up 4 late firsts than a makar, landeskog, rantanen, or other valuable roster player</div></div>

I really dislike this idea that “Colorado is ready to win now, gotta just mortgage the future to try and win a Stanley cup this year.” Not that this would actually do that, but I see a lot of that and it just doesn’t make sense. Yes the Avs should be good enough to compete for the cup next year, but their top players are all in their early to mid 20s, this isn’t a one year window. If there’s a move that makes you better in the short and long term (which this probably would, but 4 first rounders is a lot) then yeah that makes sense but in a salary cap league, it’s always good to have a strong farm system to replenish your roster when you end up having to let guys go to make the cap work. Yeah they should try and win right now but this team should have a 10 year run of being legit cup contenders and every asset they have is valuable to sustain that
