Per Elliotte Friedman’s 31-Thoughts, STL apparently offered up Pietrangelo for Nylander, which Leafs declined.

That is surprising , AP gets them that much closer to contention than Willy .
Willy simply gives them more of what they have , AP fills a major need .
Willy for 1.5 years of AP

I think the Leafs might be afraid of another Hall for Larsson type result.
Age difference is too big for an AP/Willy swap.
Nick Kypreos shook the masses last weekend, wondering on Headlines if Alex Pietrangelo would be a fit for Toronto. With a few more days to work off it, my guess is this: St. Louis put him in William Nylander discussions, but the Maple Leafs decided to keep the winger. I see two reasons. First, Nylander is six years younger. Second, they might not be able to fit Pietrangelo’s extension (he’s eligible in July) and would prefer someone with term in that particular trade. It doesn’t mean they can’t/won’t re-consider him in the future.
A cup run for 2 years is worth the age gap IMO when that player is exactly what you need and searching for years to get
Would of liked to have been a fly on the wall in these talks .
You dont get many opportunities for a cup . The Leafs are young enough to contend without Willy in the lineup .
With half that D gone after the summer AP was the perfect fit with MR and Dermott.

It’s too bad E Karlsson wasn’t available now.....might have been a great return for Sens.....
