A UFA in less than two seasons?
Tavares is 28, Reilly is 24, Matthews is 21, Marner is 21, Nylander is 22. This isn't a team that needs to compete in the next 2 year or bust. Heck, with Marleau, Hainsey, Horton's IR and Kessel's retained salary coming off the cap in the next couple years, this is a team that will probably be most poised to make noise after Brodie's contract is up.
No, if you want Nylander for a defenseman on the Flames you're giving up a cost-controlled asset for the foreseeable future. That means Hanifin. Maybe Valimaki.
