I would just ask to be dealt outright, he just wants to pick where he's going and I'm willing to bet his contract isn't as outrageous as some are speculating it to be. He'll go to a team he wants to go to and fits in long term and sign a reasonable contract that will have leaf fans saying "we could have given him that!"
I'd love for him to come to the Flames and sign something silly like 5x5
something like Nylander, Sparks and something else for a package of Bennett and/or Janko and Brodie or something like that.

Without Nylander the Leafs aren't that deep on wing. They need him for PP2. He isn't going anywhere unless it's a deal with a player of his comparable coming back.
Think Drouin Sergachev. Nylander has shown a heck of a lot more than Drouin and look what he got. Leafs need a defenseman of that caliber/age coming back.
And for the second part...Nylander is an RFA. He doesn't get to pick where he is going. What is this? If he is pulling anything like that if I'm Dubas I don't care. I'm making him sit for the year.
