There is no way Dubas is even answering Tre's calls unless it starts with Valimaki or Andersson and thats just the reality.

Not calling you out specifically because I see this excuse tossed around a lot, but it really doesn't make sense to me.
"will almost certainly disappear in the playoffs".
Is that really a reason to not acquire a player? Especially for a team that has won exactly one playoff round in the last 14 years? It's speculation at best. Nylander has 8 points in 13 playoff games which isn't terrible production.
Maybe we should just worry about making the playoffs in the first place and then go from there? Good teams succeed in the playoffs because different players step up on different nights.
Focusing on players that have had playoff success is how you end up with a $4.5 million dollar Troy Brouwer. Nylander has the ability to take over a game and he's a young player. He will get better with experience.
