To secure the services of Karlsson, the Leafs will likely have to part ways with one of their best players:
William Nylander.
Nylander is currently having negotiations complications with the Leafs and it might force Treliving to trade him.
While the Leafs will need to make the offer more enticing to convince the San Jose Sharks, this initial proposal involving Nylander could capture their attention. It's hard to resist the opportunity of acquiring such talent in exchange for a top-tier defenseman.
