From the money side of things, it's definitely alluring. Because you know Werenski and Hamilton are going to get $7M+ on their next deals. And the $7M that we'd give to Nylander could probably cover both Kappy and Dermott's next deals.
But unless he's legit one of the best defensive dmen out there who'd improve us by leaps and bounds, I think we'll lose that deal. Having Nylander up front along with the big three plus the emergence of Kappy, and Kadri and Marleau, makes us the most dangerous team in the league. Especially with Rielly and Gardiner back there, and with Dermott looking fantastic. It really badly pains me to lose Nylander for money reasons. I doubt we win any trade where we part with him.
And will adding a defensive LHD to the mix improve us by leaps and bounds anyway?
Thankfully, I think all of this is wasted keystrokes anyway. We'll sign him because he needs to play and get paid this year, and we won't find the right trade for us out there midseason.
