Who says no? NHL executives evaluate your trade proposals
3. Minnesota trades defenseman Matt Dumba and a 2021 fourth-round pick to Toronto for William Nylander
– @tannergrina
...
Exec: “Toronto says no. Good rule of thumb for people making these proposals: If you’re throwing a 2021 fourth-round pick into the deal, it’s because you aren’t offering anywhere near enough, and you know it. That 2021 fourth isn’t going to change that.”
The New York Rangers send goalie Alexandar Georgiev and a third-round pick to Toronto for Kasperi Kapanen and a second-round pick
– @JustLouG
...
Exec: “Toronto says no. I don’t know why people think the Rangers are going to get a massive windfall for Georgiev. He has mediocre numbers, a mediocre record, and having three goalies erodes any leverage they have.”
Toronto sends forward William Nylander to Carolina for Brett Pesce
– @FrostyLoopsBlog
...
Exec: “I think Nylander is worth more than Brett Pesce. But the contract might even that one out a bit. Leafs need cap space. That gives them a good defenseman and saves them $3 million. Who would say no? The Leafs would say no, they would want a better defenseman even it cost them a little more money.”
Edmonton sends defenseman Adam Larsson and a 2021 third-round pick to Toronto for Andreas Johnsson and Jeremy Bracco.

Exec: “Either team could say no. It’s not an unreasonable ask. It would come down to what they think of Bracco. If you strip it back to the two main players in the deal, it’s a pretty fair deal. Larsson for one of their wingers. I like Johnsson. I think he’d be a good fit for Edmonton. They might prefer to get Kapanen.”
