Boy, do I have a different opinion than the first two commenters. Keller had a nice first full season and then dropped off precipitously in his second year; he improved only slightly over that in the shortened season (annualizing out to 50 points or so). Nylander is a better producer (albeit on a far superior team) and in my mind, is much more valuable than Keller, especially when you take the particulars of his contract into account (he's now significantly cheaper than Keller). Hayton is an unknown quantity and Toronto don't need a center in any event; Kirk is rated by one authority as having virtually no chance whatsoever to see an NHL ice surface. I would reject this proposal for the Maple Leafs without a qualm.
