Let's pretend both Nylander and Kane are on expiring deals this year, same cap hits, no NMC/NTCs in their agreements, I'm willing 100% of GMs that would be in on them would take Kane over Nylander for a playoff run. That said, with Nylander having an extra year, smaller cap hit, that does for sure hold more value to an acquiring team. I also agree that to the Leafs Nylander is more valuable today; you can't just shake up the chemistry of the team.

Try watching the Hawks game in and game out...90%+ like those in the know; watch what he still does on the ice next to crappy line mates and you might begin to understand what doesn't show up on stat sheets how he creates chances that simply line mates aren't good enough to capitalize on. And if you're a stathead because you don't watch the Hawks much, which is likely what you are forming your opinion on, explain this...

Points per game
18/19 = 1.36
19/20 = 1.20
15/16 = 1.29
21/22 = 1.18
20/21 = 1.18
16/17 = 1.08....6th best year for reference

16 years in the NHL and his 5 best ppg seasons, 4 of them happened in the last 4 seasons, his 2nd best season ever was just 2 years ago. Yeah....Kane is in deep decline for years like you said LMAO

If Kane and Nylander were both rentals this year and available at the deadline to playoff teams this season for equal price and any playoff team could take 1 or the other, every GM would take Kane in a heartbeat for one playoff run. You clearly don't watch Kane play night in and night out.

Take your head out of the box score and watch the games and look at the results.

Besides a lot of kanes production is just from the copious amount of PP time he gets.
His p/60 is in the hundreds among nhlers and his g/60 is terrible too.

LMAO you made an asinine statement and the more you respond arguing the worse it gets for you. Kane has always had a ton of time on the PP and in the offensive zone...nothing new. In fact, he never attempted to play defense up until a few years ago when forced to. Try watching Hawks games, more then a few a year and you'll get it.

Done trying to talk sense to the ignorant...good day kid

Ignore the troll. It takes him an hour and a half to watch 60 minutes. He thinks Matthews' slow start is saving the Leafs money.

The hope would be to resign Kane to continue to play with Matthews. The US connection.
