I can see moving Nylander, if the package includes a top prospect and at least another 1st rounder. As a winger, he’s easily replaceable with a free agent. Defensemen and centers are another matter. Willy is 29 and he’s at his peak. A contender would gladly move a young asset, if it meant making their team a Cup contender. Leafs should look at Anaheim and see if they could shake Mason McTavish from them, in a Nylander trade. They may get a pick with that trade. That kind of deal makes perfect sense, as McTavish would slot in at 2C with Tavares moving to the wing.
then you might as well try to get a top pairing D with Nylander. unlikely, but
Adam Fox would be a top target for me, but he doesnt want to play in Canada? not sure. someone like that
