For a massive overpayment

It's an interesting offer for Severson. RHD is tough to come by, so Devils would need to acquire a pair to fill the spots behind Hamilton. Likely wouldn't be until after the draft so may have to end up being 2023 1st.

Severson to Leafs will never die
It sounds like he gets extended in NJ in off-season

Just gonna copy and paste from my comment a couple days ago.

Wilson is not on the block. The Caps main issues are that they're slow and they have a lot of guys who are prone to lapses in concentration and losing their assignments defensively. Wilson is the fastest and most defensively consistent winger in the Caps' top 6. He's also beloved in the locker room as far as us fans can tell, and the odds-on favorite to take over the C when Ovie retires. Wilson is not part of the problem, and trading him for Nylander doesn't address the Caps' problems.

Nylander's also just a bad fit for the Caps. I don't know if Nylander's comfortable at RW, but if not it leaves the Caps very unbalanced with Nylander joining Ovie, Mantha, Oshie, and Sheary on the left side while only Oshie and Hathaway naturally play on the right. The bigger issue though is that he's also a bad fit for the Caps powerplay. They run a very rigid 1-3-1 where each spot has to have a specific handedness and skillset, and the only spot he's a fit for is Ovie's. Ovie plays at least 3/4 of every powerplay (check out his PPTOI/g, it's first in the NHL by 46 seconds), so Nylander's production would take a massive hit going from Toronto's PP1 to Washington's PP2. He's probably a 50 point player in DC, and that's what Wilson's already providing.

The Leafs aren't a good trading partner for the Caps in general. The Caps' needs are a proven starting goalie, a top 6 winger who's either a left shot or doesn't need PP time to be productive, and a Backstrom replacement if his injuries are gonna keep him out all year. The only Leafs who'd fill needs for the Caps are Matthews and Tavares (no, Kerfoot is not the caliber of player they'd be looking for), and they're obviously not going anywhere. The only way the Leafs get Wilson is if they offer a massive overpay, cause there's no "win-win" deal to be made here.
