I dont see Nashville trading Ekholm though.

Exactly. It’s a 1 for 1 deal purely because of cap. No way Nashville adds. Nylander will likely get 7-7.5 range, double Ekholm salary. If Toronto could get this done it’d be huge for them from both a defensive outlook and from a cap outlook. This is the ideal trade for the leafs imo.
