Trade Deadline

Bullfrog said:
With the Nash trade, the Leafs have to pull the trigger on JvR. He's more valuable than Nash and even more valuable if the Leafs retain max salary on him.

Did you not see them beat Boston last night without Auston Matthews?  Did you see JVR's ridiculous deflection pass to set up Kadri's goal?

All I have to say is that it had better be a king's ransom in return for JVR.  I think the Leafs should not change anything.  They are beating the league's best teams with their current lineup.

Yeah, I'm still in that camp. The Leafs have to be thinking about more than just this year's playoffs. The chance to flip JVR into a solid run with McDonagh or another comparable defenseman I think is too great considering the prospect depth at wing.

I really hope they do, but it still feels like they aren't going to, and that feels like a mistake.

Did you not see Boston's third goal where JVR clearly had the guy covered yet let him go and score. Sorry but he is a defensive liability and efforts like that have no place on this team. Having said that he is more valuable then Nash so he should get a good return. Leo is another guy that needs to go.
 
This was mentioned before but what is Boston going to do with two R. Nash's on the team.
Nash#1 and Nash#2  (like boys in a family). To really confuse the issue they should both wear the same number.
I am getting dizzy.

I sure did. I even made a joke about how that increased his value. I love JvR. But I would prefer long term success with the Leafs and trading him for assets rather than losing him for nothing increases the chances of that happening.
 
Rangers GM admits that he's exploring the trade market on McDonagh:

Agree..I hope the Leafs move him. Nice player but not affordable moving forward.

I think the Leafs could afford JVR going forward. $2m raise on his current deal.

$6.25 x 6 years. I think it's possible.

Pretty sure Ottawa isn't interested in a soon to be UFA like JVR.

Pretty sure Ottawa isn't interested in a player who is going to make more than 5 million dollars.

Definitely not. Trade JVR to whoever gives you the best 1st rnd pick and send that to Ottawa as part of the deal.

From the Leafs' side, sure, but he can't control the leakage on the other end.
