Rumor: Favourite Team to Get Nylander via Trade is Known
The Maple Leafs and William Nylander don't seem to be on the same page regarding their contract negotiations. Even if Nylander told Elliotte Friedman last week that he wants to stay in Toronto, new sources have revealed that the Leafs explored trading him.
A new team has emerged as the favorite to acquire him on the trade market.

The new rumor going around suggests that the New York Islanders are interested in Nylander.
The Isles are looking to return to their former glory as Stanley Cup contenders, and Nylander could be the missing piece to help them get back on track.
According to Eklund, New York would send a package to Toronto that includes Jean-Gabriel Pageau.
Trade Scenario
With all this in mind, a mock trade was drawn up, and it makes sense:
To New York: William Nylander
To Toronto: Jean-Gabriel Pageau, 2024 First Round Pick, Danny Nelson
To Toronto: Jean-Gabriel Pageau, 2024 First Round Pick, Danny Nelson
The Leafs would get a great bottom-six player in Pageau, along with two future assets.
Would you make that trade?
