I wonder if there’s a blockbuster to be had between Toronto and Edmonton.

There were rumours last week of Khaira and Benning for Brown. That helps EDM a bit but why not expand upon that? Would EDM add Larson for one of Toronto’s wingers, Kapanen or Johnsson? If they took on Zaitsev would that get Toronto to include Nylander? Maybe add Kassian to the deal too in that case for some toughness on the 4th line

Nylander has been our best player for around a month now, also has been producing at a 70 point pace in that timespan. Don't see him being traded

Not nearly enough for Nylander. Benning is useless, Pul is a massive bust. The 1st is meaningless to Toronto, they don't need more picks. Start with a defenseman, either Larsson or Nurse and then add a middle six forward like Yama. IMO you could pull off a Klefbom for Nylander 1 for 1 but I doubt Edmonton does that

Ya there’s a lot that can happen for sure but Toronto’s first priority is obviously resigning Marner. Also Kapenin and Johnsson. Everyone knows that is NOT going to be a cheap contact for Marner. Toronto needs cap space and with that deal it opens up lots of cap room and they get a very high draft pick and a solid prospect in return. Benning is a decent 6 or 7 Dman and still really young and a righty for cheap.

Leafs will move several other players before they consider moving Nylander.

If they move Nylander it's for a young Top 4 dman (preferably RHD).

Edmonton can’t trade Larsson right now, they got no other RIghty who can come close to being a top 4 Dman. Plus look at what they gave up to just to get him. I’m guessing Nylander has to go with the cap issues coming up plus his whole contract hold out situation doesn’t help. Toronto won’t want another high cap hit coming back with the trade, they just can’t afford it with the cap situation now. Paying Marner, Kapenen is the priority, 2 guys who can very easily fill the spot of Nylander being gone. They got Kadri at 3rd line centre so don’t need Willy for that either. He’s the odd man out and Edmonton REALLY needs a good young forward who can grow with the forward core of Connor Leon Nuge Nylander.

No chance Leafs trade Nylander for that offer

Jack Hughes to Edmonton, it would be the funniest thing since Lindros to QCity. Actually that Lindros-Forsberg trade, Clark-Lemeuix trade and the Tbo-Roy trade were the only reason the Av's had a Dynasty.

Your lineup is short three players. IMO Nylander is moved by the Leafs for cap reasons. But the Oilers....despite being a non playoff really don't have cap space to take him.

Bettman reported that the Cap is going up to 83 mill next season, Oilers will have around 10 mill in cap space to start next season if it goes up that much. Nylanders cap hit is 6.9 starting next season so they can fit him in for sure.

This post had a roster of 20 and just a 1m in cap space.
