Moving Nylander at the trade deadline would be both brilliant and stupid.
Stupid because they are a cup contender, Brilliant because the amount of assets you could gain could set up the Leafs to maintain their window longer.

However anything less than the return for Meier and I would argue he’ll no.

TML should get a solid 2nd line player, high level D prospect, mid level D or F prospect and 1 1sts. Anything less I would
Consider a loss.

So why does Seattle do that trade for a rental in Nylander?

Smart because Seattle has the space to resign but I’d honestly look at larsson and draccord or maybe even all three with Nylander? Anyway Seattle would be a good trade partner imo.

Seattle accepts.
