[Proposal] Acquiring Nylander


Recommended Posts

Trade #1:

Vancouver Canucks obtain W. Nylander

Toronto Maple Leafs obtain C. Tanev, S. Gagner (some salary retained by Canucks), and G. Brisebois

 

Trade #2:

Buffalo Sabres obtain W. Nylander

Vancouver Canucks obtain San Jose's 2019 1st Round Pick (via Buffalo Sabres) and St. Louis' 2019 1st Round Pick (via Buffalo Sabres)

 

Vancouver gets three 1st Round Picks for the 2019 draft that it will be hosting. Buffalo gets to troll Toronto with Nylander for years to come.

 

 

A man can dream, can't he?

Tanev, Sutter, and 2020 3rd round pick 

 

Nylander and Liljgren

 

Tanev and Sutter make them much better right away.  

 

Nylander give us another young legit scorer and Liljgren give us a quality rhd prospect. This also allows us to draft BPA instead of looking for scoring or rhd.

 

Baertschi Horvat Nylander

Goldobin Petersson Boeser

Dahlen Gaudette Virtanen

 

Nice top 9

 

D prospects

 

Hughes liljgren

Juolevi Woo

Tryamkin Brassard

Brisebois

 

This looks a lot better.

 

At the deadline we could trade any of Edler, Nilsson, MDZ, Gagner, biega, Leipsic, Granlund, Motte, Eriksson for more picks for this year's draft.

Nylander has a NMC/NTC? Even if he did, which he doesn't, Buffalo is probably on most people's list right now. They are fire.

Nope not NTC, not for this contract. 

 

hey we're in the land of speculation right now. Maybe he's thrilled with the idea of playing with Pettersson, he's used to having elite talent on his line, not carrying one. In Buffalo he's probably expected to centre that 2nd line.

Haven't read all 8 pages to know if this has been suggested but here are my thoughts.

To Toronto: Chris Tanev, Sven Baertschi (50% retained)
To Vancouver: William Nylander, 2019 4th round pick
Why: Obviously Nylander is holding out for an amount of money that Toronto feels like they can't do in the future because of the upcoming Matthews, Marner, Reilly extensions.  They also could really use a veteran RH defenseman.  Baertschi is a talented young scoring left winger on a good contract for the next three years, and Vancouver keeps half of the cost.  Obviously Baertschi isn't in the Nylander camp but paying less than $1.7 million for Baertschi for the next three years is a steal for them.

Re-sign Nylander for 7 years at $7.5 million

 

It's a lot, both in terms of trading players and salary, I know, but gets us a top line player through our run with this new core.  We aren't going to be able to get a young player of that caliber through free agency.  This takes two veterans and turns them into a true core piece of our rebuild. Nylander - Petterson - Boeser would be incredible

Tanev does not have that kind of trade value.  

 

Botchford has been pushing for the Canucks to trade Tanev - it was all over twitter.  The Canucks showed him the best offers they received for him.  He changed his mind because the offers received were laughable.  He just did an AMA on the Canucks reddit where he explains it.

 

Baer and his concussion history gets you nothing in a trade either.

the lowball offers on Tanev are really dumb for other team to try to pull off. Lots of guys have a similar injury history, and Tanev is a top 4 quality rhd on nearly all teams.

He doesn't bring offence.  Teams talk about how it's way too hard to produce if your Ds can't help generate offence.  MacLellan said one of the key reasons they finally won a Cup is that they had offensive Ds.  Rutherford made a similar comment before him.  Tanev is more of a 3rd pairing D on successful teams but he doesn't bring any kind of physicality.  Teams now work as 5 men units and the Ds have to be able to read off the Fs to produce.

 

Laviolette was recently explaining that in the o-zone positions are abandoned - it's just 5 guys working together to score a goal.  Nashville has the best goal differential in the league but is also the team with the lowest goals against per game.  Toronto has the 2nd best differential and are 4th in goals against per game.  They defend by pushing for offence and maintaining possession in the o-zone.  Most teams are moving in that direction.  Montreal has changed their fortune around because that's their new strategy.

I think thats an unfair knock on Tanev tbh. He generates nearly as much offence as a guy like Adam Larsson e.g. I understand the change to d's getting more involved in the play but you also need great penalty killing in the playoffs as well, which is where Tanev can really help.
