What people keep forgetting is that Toronto isn't trading Nylander. Just his bargaining rights, and if he gets moved, the acquiring team has lost a bunch of bargaining power (since they gave up players to get those rights, they need him in the lineup and thus are highly motivated to sign him, maybe to the point where they cave in to his demands).
