Nylander for Bennett and Hamonic is an easy yes. I doubt the Leafs would be interested. (EDIT: I guess with the caveat that Nylander's contract request is somewhat reasonable, if he is asking for 8M+ without budging then no thanks).
Depending on the Seattle expansion timeline, it's likely that Hamonic would be up for grabs anyways depending on the re-signing:
Gaudreau
Monahan
Tkachuk
Lindholm
Backlund
Neal (if he doesn't regress much since then, otherwise protect one of the players down below)
Bennett
Left exposed: Jankowski, Mangiapane, potentially Dube.
Hanifin
Valimaki (if required)
Andersson (potentially Brodie if re-signed)
Left exposed: Hamonic depending on contracts and timeline, Kylington
(Giordano will be 37+)
But switch Bennett with Nylander in that list, and give them the choice of a Jankowski/Kylington and it looks a lot better.
