Gonna cost at least a 3rd, maybe a 2nd to get Arizona to retain the $2 million.

He might not resign with the Leafs by why would necessarily sign with the Devils. Certainly Cup contenders Leafs aren't going allow a star player to negotiate a contract with another team. This never happens. Not sure where the Devils would find the cap for Nylander, Dawson's and Schmid's new contracts

Devils probably can’t afford him

Why trade so much when they can just try and bag him when free angency opens ??

This trade doesn't come w extension...

BTW, Leafs accept

Leafs can afford to retain I would do this personally but I think he does resign

Leafs are in Cup run mode, I don't see them trading a star player that would make them worse this season.
Kinda strange that the Leafs would trade Nylander, because they can't resign him. But Jersey would make the trade and probably can't resign him either.

Makes sense why Leafs would decline too... But I think having a lot of youth and a 1st and 2nd for a rental would be a good idea

Yawn, can we just move off from this PLZ, find new material. This needs to stop. Also nice cap space making the devils in cap hell, lost alot depth for no reason. You realize that 2024 has a condition on it, Were it goes to the Sharks, if they make ECF right. so congrats on giving so much for a player the devils cant even resign.

Yeah might have to change that 5th to a 3rd but the leafs could retain

This is really stupid for the Devils. No need to give up those premium assets for Nylander, especially when Holtz looks good

Jersey not giving up that for a rental. We'd maybe trade you toffoli+ or something but not holtz+casey++

So when Winnipeg allowed Scheifele and Hellebuyck to talk to other teams about extensions to help with a trade, that just didn’t happen? … teams allow players agents to speak to other teams about extensions prior to trades all the time. You’re delusional if you think otherwise.

Toronto don't do this they are going to be a playoff team so don't want them getting worse

Nylander is a great player but there is no reason for the Devils to get him if they can’t keep him. They’ll never be able to keep him under the cap. As it is today the team is going to struggle with the Luke Hughes, Dawson Mercer, and Simon Nemec extensions and they’ll likely need to move out both Palat and Hamilton to get it done when the time comes. The team is built to play together for a long time and Fitzgerald has repeatedly said he isn’t interested in rentals
