messier's_elbow Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I’d definitely trade Tanev for Nylander. Nylander needs to toughen up in the corners, but he would look great along side Petterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Remember Horvat saying how well he plays with a player like Gaudreau during the Allstar game? Also Matthews offense increased every time he played with Nylander. I’m thinkng Nylander plays with Horvat if we for some miraculous miracle land him.

His stock has done nothing but fall since he was drafted. He might still turn it around but to say any GM would do it is a bit if a stretch. Every GM in the NHL didn't offer a 2nd round pick for Sven Baertschi when he was a flame. All it takes is one GM to bite but lots of GMs would value their 2nd round pick over JV.

Gaudette Celly Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 4 hours ago, suitup said: Totally agree. Grit is cheaper and much easier to come by, not the other way around. Who do you spend 6 million on? Soft but lots of skill? Or not much skill but lots of grit? It's not that simple. You don't assemble a team of fancy-dancer marshmallows then think adding a couple of gritty guys suddenly balances it all out. Look at the players we're drafting -- some are small and skilled, but all of them have character and pushback, if not a level of grit to their game. It's just like you can't have a team of 5'7 160lb players and think you can protect them with a couple of goons. Effective grit and toughness comes as a TEAM.

Drakrami Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Don't want Nylander. I'd rather it be the 1st and Liljegren. Ok I just realize they need to dump cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyAL Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Big Tanev fan here, but I take Nylander, I can't believe people poopoo that deal. You're not putting Nylander on the ice to block shots and bull guys over, the guy is super skilled, and can play center or wing. As mentioned above by 'suitup' Nylander on a line with Horvat? yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danaimo Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 It's a moot point. Toronto will only have cap space for one season. Next year they will have to sign their best young players to their first non-elc contracts which will put them right up against the cap. Matthews, Marner, Kapanen, Carrick all RFA's, Gardiner is UFA. The idea that Tavares would sign for 1 year is ridiculous. Why sign a one year deal when he can guarantee a 7 year right now. He has earnt his payday and I'm sure his agent will make sure he gets it. The idea that Tavares would go to TOR for one year was started by Toronto media, the same Toronto media that speculates that every big name UFA will land in Toronto. Same old story, just insert a different name each year. Tavares will go to SJ, DAL or BOS. Less likely TAM, can't foresee TOR or NYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iinatcc Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I like Tanev but Tanev alone isn't going to get Nylander. If the demand for Tanev was that high he would have been traded for at least a late 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Crossbar Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 This thread is amazing in relation to Tanev and the impact two missing words - starting with - can have on a discussion. This entire thread is predicated on missing info. Cool story, tho ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
