    2 years left on his deal.  Why not be patient, see how the team develops this year. 
    if the leafs flame out again next season and they know they can’t keep Nylander, maybe then you pull the trigger ….. or just wait 2 years and pay him and give up nothing. 

    Or we can actually get better now. 11 years of waiting is more then enough waiting.

  2. Here is my controversial offseason take.

    IF the Leafs need to move Nylander for cap I would take a run at him.

    I would have him play centre with Asplund and VO as a 2nd line.

    He is coming into his own and will not be a centre in Toronto. Point per game player last year and the Leafs best playoff player the past 2 seasons.

    I would offer to take Mrazek as part of the deal and put him in Rochester. They want cap space and a young dman that can play. I’m not giving up Quinn, JJ, Krebs etc.

    I would offer #16 and Joker for Nylander and Mrazek. Would throw in Portillo as a sweetener if needed. I then sign a couple UFA RHD that are defensively responsible and can add some grit.

    Willy is not his brother and has a good rep as a teammate. I think he would fit in well in the room and would breakout even more as a centre here.

    Mitts, 16OA and Johnson was an idea.

    Portillo’s name thrown around as a sweetener later because they didn’t think that was enough.

    I have to admit that I do love watching Cozens and Dubois playing together at the Worlds. That would be a long term playoff line.

    If you knew what Dubois would want on a long term deal then I would definitely consider it.

    I figured the game would be tight and they would try to out- physical each other. All the talking heads were saying what a bloodbath this series was going to be. I thought so too, and it still might. 

    Never mind, its starting, lol

    I called them and told them you weren’t impressed. They said to hold their beers.😁

    Ugly as in physicality, but that quick response by Edmonton changed everything. That's "what I am talking about". This game was billed to be an all out war. That hasn't happened yet. 

    It’s not going to happen unless Calgary get up by 4 or 5 late.

    This Flames game gonna get ugly real quick. Oilers need a wake up call. But so far, this game isn't living up to expectations. 

    It is 3-1 less then 10 minutes in. What are you talking about?

    Gauthier at 6 and Pronman stating some scouts are liking him in the top 5.

    Looks like the dream of getting him at 9 is going to die early.

    The thought has always been that playoffs are big boy hockey. Big, skilled players make the difference. NHL front offices believe that.

    That is why I think both Gauthier and Geekie will be picked before #9.

  8. DeBoer is a jerk. One of the talking heads said MAF wouldn’t go back to Vegas because of DeBoer.

    He was canned because someone had to take the fall and it was either Pete or Foley would can McPhee or McCrimmon.

     

    Also, Isles promotes Lane Lambert to Head Coach. Weird that he has been Trotz’s right hand man for 11 years and they boot Trotz and promote him.
