Major Trade Proposal emerges sending William Nylander to the Calgary Flames

Recently, a user on Capfriendly.com, a popular hockey website, proposed a trade scenario that caught the attention of many fans.

According to this proposal, the Leafs would send William Nylander, along with Connor Timmins and Boston's 2023 1st round pick, to the Calgary Flames.

In return, the Flames would give up Elias Lindholm, Rasmus Andersson, and a 2023 2nd round pick to Toronto.

With Nylander in Calgary, their roster would look like this:

The Leafs find themselves in a tricky situation, especially with Auston Matthews entering the final year of his contract. With his impressive performance, Matthews is expected to demand a hefty salary in the range of $13 to $15 million per year. As a result, the Leafs must carefully manage their salary cap to accommodate his needs.

Adding to the complexity, William Nylander is also approaching the end of his current contract and will be seeking a significant raise. It's clear that the Leafs simply can't afford to keep both players on their roster while maintaining financial stability.

Interestingly, Nylander has a unique connection to the Calgary Flames. His father once played for the Flames, and William himself was born in the city.

One thing's certain: this trade would have a major impact on both teams.
