William Nylander's situation in Toronto has been a hot topic all summer, as everyone wonders if he'll sign an extension before the start of the next season.
As we get closer to the trade deadline, speculation and rumours will continue to spread.
Even if both parties want to make the deal happen, it looks like money is Nylander's priority and he likely won't accept a lower salary to help his team.
With Knies, Robertson, and all the young players coming up, there will soon be a lot of forwards in competition for a spot in the lineup. With Nylander gone, someone else could fill in. There will be a lot of free agents available next summer... who knows what Treliving might pull off?
Also, the Leafs really need to do something about their blue line. Getting a top defenseman like Chabot could be the key to a long playoff run.
While it would be surprising to see the Senators let go of Chabot, the idea of getting Nylander could entice them to make a deal.
