I wouldn't. Chucky has only 3 years of team control left, Nylander can slide his ELC one more season. There is just so much team control difference that it wouldn't be smart for Buffalo to do.
It doesn't make cap sense either. BoGo,Moulson and Pommer eat up ~$16m, Eichel is at $10m next year, Kane needs to be resigned, Reinhart will get a nice raise. Nylander on an ELC is ~$4m (before bonuses) cheaper than Chucky. The ELC will run through the end of BoGo, Moulson, and Pommer deals.
