The Top Two Teams To Trade For William Nylander Revealed

Rumors have been flying about significant interest in the 27-year-old who scored an impressive 40 goals last season. Adding to the speculation, Eklund of Hockey Buzz has linked Nylander to two specific teams.

The Wild and Islanders are emerging as potential destinations. For either team to accommodate Nylander, adjustments would be necessary. Given the Maple Leafs' depth in their forward lines and salary cap constraints, moving Nylander might make sense for the franchise.

In a league with plenty of young talent, the Wild and Islanders are gearing up for the playoffs in the upcoming season. Here are two hypothetical trade scenarios:

The Wild would bolster their wing position, while the Maple Leafs would a recent top 10 pick in Rossi, a young defenseman in Addison (currently unsigned) and a 2nd round pick. This would give the Leafs plenty of cap space for the upcoming season as well.

Here the Islanders get their star winger and only need to part with a good 3rd line center, a young prospect who could blossom in a new city, and a top pick to do so.

In essence, the Toronto Maple Leafs face a critical decision regarding William Nylander's future. As potential trade scenarios unfold, uncertainty remains, but the excitement and speculation continue to build within the hockey community.
