Maybe they will dig their heels in deep.

Nylander knows at this point regardless of what the contract is, he is getting traded. Maybe not until the summer, but he is as good as gone.
So who knows, and maybe Dubas caves to the numbers and then sees what he can get after the season OR he already has a deal lined up but the acquiring team is hopeful WN comes down a bit more on the AAV.
I can also see where WN says nope and goes and signs in the KHL for the rest of the season and then has his agent negotiate a trade to a destination he is willing to accept in the off season that is agreeable to the Leafs.
