Nylander fills a hole at RW for two years, but trading Roy for him opens up another*, so this would be just playing a game of whack-a-mole. Our experience this year with the rash of injuries to defensemen (both sides) argues strongly against trading Roy unless it's in the sort of deal that no sane GM would make.
* The fact that we have plenty of NHL-quality RDs on next season's roster doesn't mean that we have a replacement for Roy in particular.
