Just don't know if that D guy is available anywhere. Who should they go after? They might have to wait until the trade deadline for some names to come available.

LostAnotherOne Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Vasilevskiy made some big saves, but the first star of the game was definitely his post. Toronto no doubt can bang with this team and I think if they meet in the playoffs its going seven games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I was pretty impressed with the way the Bolt's collapsed on their net, when things got hairy around it. So many blocked shots and no time for the Leafs to make up their mind where to pass to or shoot. I think the Leafs could take a page outta the Bolts play book.

It's not like AM is feeding him. I'd be willing to trade some O for some D if a quality D man is available. I don't know what Nylander's market value is, but I'd prefer to trade him and keep Kappi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ironmaker Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 From a non modern era hockey guy the expertise and knowledge of the game and all the teams from you guys on this board is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Did anyone else listen to the three crackpots on Sportsnet after the Tampa game?? They were saying that Tampa demonstrated why they’re the dominant team in the league and now Toronto knows what they need to do to get better. Did they watch the dang game?? Shots were what, 49-23 or something?? Even on the Tampa forums they were saying how badly they were being outplayed. These guys are brutal. As for Kapanen, I really like that kid and would hate to see him go. I too would consider Nylander first if for no other reason than his perceived value. We would get a lot more back for him. What is Gauthier doing in the NHL? The guy is a giant and his jersey hasn’t made contact with another team all year. Frederic Copperfield... the guys invisible.

chris.brock Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Gauthier has been given plenty of opportunity with the big club but hasn't managed to accomplish anything. He was our 1st round pick in 2013, urghh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Kappi isn't going anywhere. Nylander will most likely be gone before the draft. At least that's my thought on things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 It's definitely been a struggle since he got back. The team was playing really well just they way they were. Ah well, kind of expecting that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's my thought on things. You have to think about the value when considering this move. Kappi at this point is actually of higher value than Nylander...as such teams are going to want him in order for them to give up their big time D man. Other names on contracts that arent up this year are also now being thrown around. I see it as a package of Kappanen + a piece + a draft pick for a big time guy like petrieangelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 I'm not sure one new d-man is going to make much of a difference with the amount of giveaways and turnovers I'm seeing in the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
