To Leafs fans, the value in the Canes trade would probably be there. But for the Canes, the value isn’t there. Necas was a dealbreaker for Eichel and Laine, so that would also include possible Nylander trades as well. The Canes organization has an extreme fondness for Necas, so it is highly unlikely that they trade him. Nylander would be a great addition for the Canes, but it won’t be at the expense of Necas. Necas still has room to grow, whereas Nylander either is close to peaking or has already peaked. I don’t see the Canes trading for Nylander, but they could pursue him in free agency. That being said, Canes pass.
