It is marner who is the player scapegoat if this doesn't work, right (dubas obviously taking full accountability)? Or does Toronto play the JT / muzzin injury and run it back? 

No way they can run it back, right? You'd have to think that Marner will be the scapegoat and get dealt. They aren't moving JT or AM and Nylander's contract is too valuable.

I mean, as far as excuses go, not having JT and muzzin is good. But marner is now 18 playoff games without a goal and apparently didn't have a pp goal this year either? Like damn. Honestly, he may need the change of scenery

It's gonna be Nylander traded. Matthews and Marner is what the Leafs were built around. Like you said JT's contract isn't moveable.

It'll be Nylander and Kerfoot (separate trades) for a bunch of pieces. Which I don't think will help them in the long run.

Why Nylander? That contract is way more manageable than Marner's. 

Oh and he actually showed up these playoffs.

Lol I mean, I'm not against it. I understand the reasons not to, but given the niche market, I don't think this is a great return for the leafs. The ability to restructure their team is insanely valuable.

I'd look into nylander too, but he's going to get dollar for dollar value.

Honestly it's stupid PR. Matthews and Marner were what the Leafs were rebuilt around. It doesn't matter if Nylander outperformed them in the playoffs (they did), those two will be given every chance in the world to right the ship. Also, with Marner's contract, I don't think the return would be as good as if you traded Nylander. In a flat cap era, I think it's easier to get a better return with Nylander too.

 

Again it's dumb as hell, but I promise you Nylander will be long gone before Matthews or Marner is touched.
