Crabcakes Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I heard this on 1040 today. Nylander for Hutton and a 2nd (my suggestion just to get people riled) But honestly, as I thought it through, it works for both sides. The Leafs badly need depth on D. To my mind, Hutton will round into a decent #3 and they could spare Nylander. They would rather keep him but to get a young top 4 D with offensive upside, it works. The Canucks need top 6 help. Nylander is a centre and he is playing behind Matthews and Kadri. He is 20 years old and fits the bill as the missing top 6 centre. Worst case scenario, he is the skilled winger. Long term, the Canucks have the top 4 depth to spare Hutton. I like the kid and would rather keep him but as with Nylander, if they're going to trade for top 6 talent who is the same age as Horvat, Virtanen, Boeser etc, he is a sacrifice that can be made. In 4 years, once Edler and Tanev have moved along, here is the depth the Canucks would have on D Juolevi Gudbranson Tryamkin Stecher Sbisa Subban Briesbois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You are a wise hockey fan CC. This kind of Hutton for Nylander trade just might be in the works. Maybe Mackenzie, working in TO, has inside information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The value is perfect but Toronto doesn't need another LD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaner Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 The Leafs hang up on this one. I think you're looking at Juolevi+ for Nyander. He's a special player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 If the Laffs really are in on Shattenkirk, Nylander is probably in the Stl asking price and we don't have those kinds of assets to complete with an offer like that. Otherwise this proposal isn't ludicrous like others around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could use a piece like Nylander to find a more impactful defenseman, preferably a right handed one like maybe Trouba. They also don't need any more draft picks, I think they already have another 9 or 10 picks again this year I was kidding a little by throwing in a 2nd (Benning always does that). The Leafs would want more than Hutton but what exactly, I'm not certain. The other thing, Hutton would not have to be protected in the expansion draft like Hansen, Gudbranson etc so it's a what you see is what you get trade. I agree, they would rather get a top 4 RHD but would one be available. So many trades get done because of opportunity as opposed to a perfect match for both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 They are committed long term to Gardiner and Rielly on the left side. Handedness matters to Babcock more so than most coaches. He prefers his RHD to shoot right. Tanev is the one they would be interested in, not Hutton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hutton + Granlund for Nylander. post Sedin lineup top 6 looks like this. Eriksson - Horvat - Boeser Beartschi - Nylander - Virtanen I think Virtanen will benefit having a playmaking center like Nylander setting him up. If were lucky enough to win the lottery, we could potentially add a Hischer or Patrick to the top 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Their close to a wild card push. They need D. Good D. Tanev/ Biega. Tanev/Hutton with Hutton we need a draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I like it. But Tanev and Subban plus Guance for Nylander would be fair imo... If Leafs add a 3rd coming back with Nylander would be best. Since Leafs need players not draft picks. Hutton doesn't seem close to enough even paired with a first.

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'd d Tanev for Nylander straight up in a heart-beat. Works for Toronto, they have enough center depth and desperately need someone decent to play with Gardiner. They need a good shutdown defenceman on the right side and Tanev fits the bill to a tee. Meanwhile, we finally get a top-6 forward with some serious skill. Undersized, sure, but he's proven he can score points against men and big defencemen. He's going through the same beef the Sedins got when they broke into the league and he's doing exactly what they did - proving everyone wrong. Henrik and Daniel would be the PERFECT mentors for this kid as well if they overlapped a couple of years. If we're lucky Nylander can play wing for a year, get a bit better defensively and swap over to center and finally we have the new Henrik-Kesler combo of Nylander-Horvat. 2-3 years time: Baertschi - Horvat - Boeser 2017 1st overall draft pick - Nylander - Virtanen Granlund - Sutter - UFA/draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBoGo53 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 C'mon people. Hutton won't fetch Nylander. Nylander is untouchable from them unless it's a similarly aged RHD. Like Jones/Trouba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucks89 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Leafs fans are suggesting Tanev would need to be included for any Nylander deal. Up on main trade boards now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right on that note. Babcock would ABSOLUTELY want Tanev to pair up with MR. Alf hates the Leafs though, and doesn't want them to get Tanev, because that would make them better.

Nucks89 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 To clarify, I would certainly do a Tanev for Nylander swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defenseman take longer to reach their potential in the NHL than forwards. I'm not saying we don't need Nylander or that Hutton isn't expendable, I just think feel like adding a potential top 4 D man and a 2nd round pick for a potential 2nd line Centre might be over payment. I would rather do the suggested Tanev for Nylander. As we know what we have in Tanev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
