As a Leafs fan, no thanks. Shattenkirk isn't what we need and Zaitsev is arguably a similar puck mover and better skater than him. Shattenkirk is a more offensive guy and we already have multiple ones of those (Rielly, Gardiner, Dermott, Zaitsev, plus Sandin and Liljegren in the minors) so taking on Shattenkirk makes almost no sense. & straight up Nylander for Kreider wouldn't even come close to fair value. As you said, Nylander has more term on his contract. After this season his cap hit will only be $6.9M per season and when Krieder becomes a UFA after next season he'll easily get more than that. So short term it doesn't help the Leafs not long term does it.
Leafs pass.
