Frankly, I wouldn't make this trade if Clayton Keller were included, but let's put value aside for the moment. OEK is on an expiring contract, as are Marner and, less important, Kapanen and Johnsson, not to mention others that might come up from the Marlies next year. You just paid Nylander $8.25M, which (perhaps not coincidentally) is 10% of the anticipated cap for next year. Even assuming you're going to let Gardiner and Hainsey walk, how are you going to pay everyone?
