Not sure Toronto is getting enough value in the deal with Seattle. . . .
But in a contradiction of sorts, not sure Seattle makes that deal, anyway. Firstly, while I know the deal is being made on the premise that Nylander would extend with Seattle, I'm not sure that he would when he's a season away from UFA. As good a season as the Kraken just had, they are still a fledgling hockey team and no one would fault Nylander to want to explore the market in a year's time. Additionally, with how well Francis has managed the cap and kept his roster balanced (both in contribution as well as financially), I am not sure he wants to go there ($9 million per) on one player yet, especially a winger. Just my take.
