Leafs are getting the player who plays the more important position and are getting cap savings. I think a trade around Hanifin and nylander would have to look more like this:
To leafs: Hanifin
To Flames: Nylander (20% retained) + Holl + 2nd round pick

Ya idk if the value was exact but I was just looking at positionally and cap
