  1. Aho got 9.5. Nylander is not the terrific two way player Aho is. Aho is ranked in the top 35 players lists every year.
    Nylander still sits outside the top 50.

  2. This is first year actually played well in every playoff game.
    The prior year he was beyond pathetic for the first three games. It wasn't until he refused to go in the corner and then backpedaled like a scared school boy in a confrontation with Foote, that he actually decided to play.
    The first year of his contract, he had the worst contract in hockey. A pathetic seven goals and even worse in the playoffs.
    I personally want a player who gives it all on defence than floating Willy.

  3. Thanks for making great content. I do not have the best hockey knowledge but he helps me better understand what's going on in the NHL world.

  4. Let me guess. They tried to trade him and no one else really wants him that much.

  5. If you you are considered an impact player and you are mixed in with 3 other so called impact players and with those players after 4 years you still cant win a Stanley Cup then maybe they are not as impactful as you would think those damb no movement clauses screw over more teams now than they ever did again how many 10 million dollar no movement clauses are on the Vegas team and yet they are the champions impact players have to have heart and I see none of that on Toronto yes lots of flash plenty of dash but after four years where has that got them bring back the heart and soul play because you love it not because you love lots of money yes money is the inspiration to win but not lose your shirt every year and gain nothing for the fans remember who buys the tickets I bet if that stopped things would change in a hurry.

  6. Florida 'destroyed' Toronto in round 2? Really Andrew? What's with the inaccurate hyperbolic assessment of the series? Game 1. 4-2 win for Florida, out-shot & out-hit by Toronto. Game 2. 3-2 win for Florida & again out-shot, out-hit by Toronto where Toronto's O-zone time was double Florida's. Maurice's game 2 assessment……"Bob stole a game we had no business winning". Game 3. was a 3-2 OT win by Florida & Toronto basically sucked in a 'must win' game. The SOG were close to even & the hits were even. Game 4. 2-1 win for Toronto with SOG even & Toronto out-hitting Florida. Game 5. 3-2 OT win for Florida in a game they were completely outplayed, just like game 2. 63 hits for the Leafs + 52 SOG along with 2 posts & 1 crossbar.

    'Bob' a red hot goalie, who didn't even start the playoffs for the Panthers, was the primary reason for the upset, together with some poorly timed careless play by Toronto & opportunistic scoring by Florida. 14 goals for Florida & 10 for Toronto. Toronto out-shot & out-hit Florida in 4 of the 5 games. 4 games were decided by 1 goal & 2 of them in OT, so how do you get "Florida destroyed Toronto" out of that? I know you watched the games, so WTF with using the word "destroyed"? Trying for a reaction? Mission accomplished.

    Quick note: Tavares has a 'no move' clause. Marner had a 'no move' clause kick in July 1st for the last 2 years of his 6 year RFA deal. Matthews had a 'no move' clause commence July 1st for the last year of his RFA contract & his new 4 year extension has a full 'no move' clause. That means the Leafs need the permission & agreement of the player to move them, not 'trade' them, 'move' them. You can't even send them to the minors without their agreement with a 'no move'. The only remedy a coach has is to bench the player, or healthy scratch them.

  7. I bet Brad Treliving wishes he could apply that Manscaped 20% discount to take care of his Willy.

  8. Maybe it's a Derozan/Kawhi type situation and Nylander gets dealt for Lindholm?

  9. I'm not sure I would frame this a "tried to" as much as explored. Tried to IMO implies they wanted to move him but couldn't. This to me sounds like due diligence for a guy you're not totally certain at the moment you can get re-signed. I agree with your conclusions however that this does indicate they're prepared to move him if they have to. This all said, I don't think there would be any shortage of teams willing to trade for Nylander, and probably many that are not on his 10 team list, the problem is they will want to get that extension done, which Willy may not be in a hurry to do. Anything discussed this summer between the Leafs and other teams probably was reflective of the fact he's a rental as it currently stands. I really hope we get a deal done to keep him here long term.

  10. This sounds something like the Dubois scenario. He probably walks if they don’t get something for him. Nylander is worth a hell of a lot more than 6.9! He’s been on a discount for a few years and put up the same numbers as Matthews last year who the Leafs opened the vault to. I can’t blame him for sticking to what he thinks he’s worth, just like Matthews did.

  11. Leafs' biggest mistake was trading Kadri for nothing and then signing Tavares. This is what caused this whole salary cap mess, including the high contract given to Mathews and Marner.

  12. I really hope you make it as a full time content creator, I always love your videos. I think Brad kicked the tires on trading Nylander, but I dont think he found a trade that improves the team enough (yes, Marner has a full NMC) and decided (at least for now) to not make a change just for the sake of making a change. Im torn on this, you do lose in the immediate short term any Nylander trade, BUT, you'd think Trev would have learned from last year in Calgary and he's in an even worse position this time around since he's gonna be a UFA. I think if he's not signed by training camp, they really need to seriously consider taking the best offer for him, they cant risk losing him for nothing. Its not like the Leafs cant afford to lose a bit of offence on the 2nd line especially with what they added in free agency this offseason. If Im Brad Im going to Nylander and saying "ok, you want 10M? we want 8 years. You want 3-5 years? We can do 8.5M, take one of those offers or give us your 10 teams you wont go to.

  13. There's nothing worth for Nylander now. Unless you get two first round pick.

  14. He is getting traded between January and the trade deadline 100% for a decent return. I would rather sign Bartuzzi long-term over Nyalnder. Bartuzzi has potential of 30 plus goals and he is way more physical than Nylander and doesn't mind going to the tough areas of the ice.

  15. Nylander will have no problem dragging this out into the season (recall 2018). He'll only sign if he gets his 10M x 4. He's willing to just do nothing and walk to UFA status. Says he wants to stay in Toronto, and he would, but only on his terms to stay. His ask is unreasonable. Don't think Leafs have a choice. Maybe they can let the team making the best offer reach agreement with Nylander on a new contract before trade is finalized. If not, the return on him won't be as good as it should be. .

  16. Leaf fans will likely not agree & Leaf Trolls and Leaf Followers – are wanting to see more interesting and fun playoff disappointments (except maybe 2 second round playoff game wins) by Leaf Executives honouring their word and playing with their Core 4 as over the last 8 playoff rounds.

    Why are the Leafs Executives not honest and open about how their avoidance of honesty negatively impacts the Leafs Playoffs outcomes? Why did the Leafs commit to their Core 4 while expensing the other players & then now go against their word to the playoff disappointing Core 4 by entertaining Nylander trades?

  17. would be nice to sign him for just 1 year at around 8.2 – 8.6 and then give him the deal in the 9's for 4-5 years the year after, once the leafs are able to decide whats happening with tavares… this would be ideal and highly unlikely though. lol

  18. Your presentation has improved. You need to work on making a corner of a room a professional looking studio with more Leaf stuff in background and you sitting looking more professional. Just a suggestion since I would like to see you with 300,000 followers.

  19. After a few years of watching your vids, I have subscribed finally. But please work on changing your background of your set. It lacks effort.

  20. Thanks for all the great info. You're channel is up there with LFR as one of the 2 Leafs channels that are both worth watching and enjoyable.

    As for Willy Nilly, let's hope he stays with the Leafs for years to come.
