Leafs cap gets solved and they get a physical young rhd that they can benefit from. Losing Nylander hurts for sure though! But it's either him or Kerfoot (Kerfoot is the more likely in my mind)
Calgary has tons of depth at D and Nylander would make this team's offence a powerful force as well. Engvall with a little retention for Dube helps the cap work better for Calgary this year and next year since Engvall is UFA at years end and Dube has one more year left.
21 man roster here. So this is tight but still doable.
They are both stars - that is for sure. This would be a huge trade for both teams. I can understand your argument but I know other believe it to be the other way around. Based on team needs though, I see this working for both teams.
Can't argue with that logic. Calgary RHD and D in general is still extremely strong after this trade though. Getting a star in Nylander for their forward group + their defence corp makes this team even more dangerous in my mind.
