Blockbuster Trade Scenario Involving William Nylander

A new rumor concerning William Nylander is gaining attention on social media.

Nylander Trade Incoming

The negotiations between William Nylander and the Maple Leafs aren't leading anywhere for now.

If the Leafs and Nylander don't reach a deal before the trade deadline, they'll likely part ways. Treliving probably won't risk losing him on the free-agent market.


Trading him at the deadline could be good timing to get the biggest return possible.

If the GM can get a top defenseman for him, only weeks ahead of the playoffs, that could be a smart move.

Nylander in St. Louis?

Here, the St. Louis Blues would get Nylander:


The Leafs would part ways with Nylander, who's about to get a major raise, for a solid defenseman, a prospect, and a first-round pick at the next draft.


If Brad Treliving thinks he can get more in return, he'll likely wait for a better offer. Also, he'll probably favor players with low salaries in order to save money for future free agents.

Do you think Nylander will be traded?
