William Nylander is the latest player whose name has come up in trade rumors. There's only a year left in his contract and a ten-team no-trade clause will come into effect in July. If the Leafs want to trade him, it will likely happen before or during the next draft on June 28th.
The website RMNB considered the scenario in which Nylander is traded to Washington in return for Tom Wilson.
Both players had similar statistics during the last season, except for the fact that Wilson played only 33 games.
If injuries caused him to miss a significant part of the season, it shouldn't worry the Leafs if they were to inquire about him. His physicality makes him a great asset for any team that has him in their lineup.
As the draft gets closer, we should have a better idea of Nylander's future, and we'll keep you updated on that.
As seen on Hockey Feed - Wilson and Nylander linked in huge trade scenario!
