Maple Leafs Reportedly Asking for Award-Winning Defenseman in Exchange for William Nylander
"With the future of the Leafs up in the air, various news and theories are emerging about their next moves.
A large portion of the fanbase appears unwilling to move forward with the same core team. This implies potential trades involving some of the league's standout stars. However, that's easier said than done.

If this rumor is accurate, it's a lofty ask from the Leafs. It's highly unlikely that the Red Wings would part with their Calder Trophy-winning defenseman who's yet to reach his full potential. To make such a deal, the Leafs would likely need to add incentives like draft capital and agree to retain some salary.
If the Leafs are set on trading Nylander, they may need to explore other options.
