Just another reason I don't want to trade with the Leafs unless it's a clear overpay. Let Tre sweat it out, and then we'll see if Nylander walks for nothing too
And on Tanev, especially with salary retention.. at around $2.5M he is an absolute homerun addition for any team with Cup aspirations. I think a 2nd rounder is too low unless it's packaged with something meaningful on top of that.
