Not close for Nylander

TOR: "Here, Chicago, take our refuse - for nothing. What a great deal for you!"
CHI: *click*

AGAIN you guys are stuck with Murray. The time to deal him was at the draft with #28 for one of our 2nd's. The Hawks tried to move back up into the 1st round. My guess is they would have taken Murray as part of the deal. The draft is over and that ship has sailed. Now it'll take a massive overpayment to unload him. Can we PLEASE put these Murray to Chicago offers out to pasture now???

Don't see much benefits for Leafs to trade Nylander like that.

Neither do I see incentive for Canes and Hawks to agree to these trades.

Rather have Skjei

The only issue with any trade of a goal scorer to my Islanders is that any player is going to have 10-20% less points than being on any other team. Just the way our systems work for some reason.

CHI declines.

-Both teams decline. Toronto can get better value if they truly wanted to move Nylander, and the Islanders shouldn't give up that many assets for a player they do not have the cap space to extend - CF currently has the Isles with $4.987M in cap space summer 2024. Subtract Pageau and that hits $9.987M in space with only 10 F/6 D signed. Even adding 1 F/1 D at league minimum puts them at about $8.4M in cap space with a 21 man roster. Unless Nylander loves the Island enough to give a major hometown discount, I don't see how it works.

-Hawks already have one of Toronto's unwanted goalies - I can't see them taking another without a much better sweetener than Robertson. Remember, it cost the Isles a 2nd rounder to drop Josh Bailey's $5M AAV off in Chicago - and that was pre-July 1st, when there was a lot more cap space available around the league.

-The value is probably fine but this feels like a trade for the sake of a trade - both pending UFAs, just opposite handed D. Feel like the Canes say no, seeing as they're giving up the younger player here.
