I have no clue how you make Nylander work under the cap with all the inefficiently utilized space we have in Brouwer/Neal/Stone/Frolik/Ryan.

But I think this trade would be the first domino towards us becoming a contender. Our top line has struggled at 5 on 5 and our PP is still below average. But add Nylander and suddenly

Gaudreau-Lindholm-Neal
Frolik-Monahan-Nylander
Bennett-Backlund-Tkachuk

You have three legit lines, wave after wave. What would the cost be? I can't see Tre trading any of the nine above other than Frolik. Leafs' biggest need is a RD so I imagine he is dangling Hamonic or Stone to start. I would expect Jankowski to be an ask given his upside and versatility. And probably pur 2019 first.
