![]() They would be moving a superstar who could potentially score 50 goals for a replacement player. The Leafs would be downgrading significantly. This is a player who hasn’t cracked 41 points since 2016 when he set a career high with 43 points. More significantly, he makes $1.9 less than Nylander currently makes, meaning that if no salary retention was involved, the Leafs would get cap compliant with this trade, and anything else they get would be picks or prospects. In other words, he makes half what Nylander wants, is not a star player, and is overpaid and declining. Pageau is 30, makes $5 million per year, is signed for three more seasons, and has two seasons with a positive xGoals rating in the last eight years. ![]() The latest in a long line of absolutely ridiculous William Nylander trade rumours is that the Toronto Maple Leafs will send him to the Islanders and that Pierre Pageau is involved. Latest William Nylander Trade Hilariously Awful for Leafs ![]() Now, I can’t defend spending $11 million dollars of precious cap space on Max Domi, Ryan Reaves, John Klingberg and David Kampf, but I don’t think he would have landed this job if he wasn’t at least somewhat smart.Īnd no one who can say that would trade William Nylander when his team is in cap trouble and he (Nylander) has the best current contract on the team (as far as value per dollar goes).įurthermore, it wouldn’t make sense to trade Nyander in a market where the younger Alex DeBrincat, whose career high in goals is higher than Nylander’s, was just traded for such a disappointing package.Īnd even furthermore, we can take it to the bank that the rumoured trade is not something that the Toronto Maple Leafs, or anyone else on earth, would actually consider. This is based on my assumption that current Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving is fairly smart, and that the Leafs wouldn’t hire someone who was really dumb to be their GM. The Toronto Maple Leafs are almost certainly not going to trade William Nylander. ![]()
