Drew.Doughty Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Larry Brooks of the New York Post wonders whether Mike Babcock's coaching style could see the Toronto Maple Leafs part ways with one their higher-skill players to acquire a much-needed defenceman. Brooks writes 'it would appear to make it more conceivable' that the New York Rangers could pry William Nylander from the Maple Leafs for a package including captain Ryan McDonagh. Nylander, who is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer, has nine goals and 33 points in 49 games this season. TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie reported last week that the Rangers would at least be willing to listen to offers involving McDonagh and Mats Zuccarello. Both players have one season remaining on their current contract, with the 28-year-old McDonagh carrying a $4.7 million cap hit. Through 43 games this season, McDonagh has 22 assists while averaging 23:54 of ice time per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goalie13 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Does this even qualify as a rumour? It seems more like just speculation by Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 if we could get Nylander we could put him on a line with Jake and then really make comparisons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 A package with McDonaugh. was he not considered one of the best all around d men in the league just 2 seasons ago? A straight swap sounds expensive to acquire Nylander but may be im missing something. has mcdonaugh really dropped that far in play? i thought he was a #1 dman.

Guile Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I agree with the sentiment here, pretty sure it would be Nylander + for McDonagh, if anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 McDonagh is a pretty stellar prize. He's still an outstanding defenseman based on my analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was underpaid for years only making 4.7M/year. My guess is he wants one last big contract and the Rangers aren't willing to meet all his demands.

I always assume a deal is more imminent with speculation than I do with rumour. This isn't really speculation as much as it it a trade proposal from Brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbox Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Holy s*** Toronto doesn't need anymore LD and especially not for a great young player like Nylander. Keep dreaming Brooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I don't like that trade for TO. I would want a younger quality dman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goblix Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Toronto has no cap left... trading a stud roster ELC player can't be an option whilst in a cup run... Speculation has little basis IMO. If Nylander isn't in Toronto's plan going forward then that's an offseason trade to make. Also as some have already said, they have bigger holes on the RD rather than LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I'd do Tanev for Nylander and a cap dump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
