One of few fellow CapFriendly GMs that agree with me that Nylander has to be traded for cap reasons. But agree some of the folks above, that's too much for the Rangers to give up. If the Leafs just get back non cap picks/prospects for Nylander....even if the return is modest, then Kadri and Brown can be retained.
With Gardiner, Hainsey and let's say Nylander not on the Leafs in 2019/20 and inexperienced, not good enough players to take their place, especially on defence, any thoughts for a Cup run in 2020 seem futile.
