Then the acquisition price depends on the contract. The more you pay, the less you offer.
And Nylander will be playing several teams against each other, almost like a UFA. So now you have to outbargain a couple other teams to get something Nylander will agree to, and then decide what to offer Toronto. And the problem there is that Toronto can't afford to take on much contract in return because the whole reason they are having a hard time is because they need to save cap space for Matthews and Marner.
So you have to end up (a) making a deal you can live with with Nylander and then (b) hope Toronto accepts what you will trade. It's a messy 3 way negotiation with the added hassle of other teams doing the same thing.
