There aren't enough teams right now that can both afford his contract demands and that also have spare elite top pairing defenders on reasonable contracts that they are willing to move. I think they should sign Nylander, play the year out with him, and trade him at next year's draft. The Leafs are a bit handcuffed and the reality is is that they may have to take a bit of a hit on a future trade since other team's GMs know that as well as anyone here on capfriendly. But if you consider that the reason Toronto is going to be tight against the cap is because they were able to land Tavares and that Matthews has blossomed right away into a superstar, its not the worst situation for a team to be in at all. The Wings have cap issues and they suck.
