@JayOnLeafs@DcalabrettaTFP The first chapter in Bob McCowns book is about the beauty of hockey and how two people can watch the same thing happen and see two different things and both could be right. This doesn't apply here.
@justleafism Can't reason with people who have stockholmed themselves into thinking Nylander is the only thing saving us from a rebuild. Kind of people who should wear their jersey backwards and cheer for the Toronto Maple Nylanders. Would rather never win a cup if it meant trading Nylander.
Seattle and Chicago both have additional 1sts in next years draft and would pay handsomely for William Nylander. LA, Dallas and St. Louis may have interest to and those are teams I could see Willy waiving for.
Talking to the boys in the Leafs group chat.
Would you trade Nylander for Edvinsson + Axel Sandin-Pellikka + Finnie & a 1st.
Leafs get a top LHD
Top defensive prospect
Our #2C in Finnie
A 1st rounder
Teams becomes 10x more well rounded.
Thoughts?
Would you do this trade? #Leafs
You need to sell high on guys like McCabe and Nylander, get what you can for OEL and Joshua and try a youth movement. Not every trade needs to be the final move either. You need to get picks and cap space to put yourself in position to acquire more talent down the road.
Once again we fans got excited over the off-season after the Leafs totally lost us. They made some good moves and some questionable choices. At the end of the day this was never a one year turn around fix. There are several holes and issues that still need to be fixed.
