You know, I get your argument but I disagree: Nylander is a good player but he doesn’t fix our biggest weaknesses (2C and second pairing D).Hmm... because the next 3 years might be Florida's best chances to win and having Nylander might be the difference between beating Tampa/Carolina? There's also the financial incentive for the owner, since iirc, Nylander's contract has been front loaded, so the actual dollars left to pay is quite a bit less. Barkov is UFA after next season, does getting Nylander help in the negotiations?
Stralman was added for cap reasons, and Holl was added since Stralman was added. But these 2 can be removed from the proposal and another player was added to make the cap work
If we were to make a trade like you suggested (and give up the GOAT himself Lundell), I think Laine is more the target in terms of convincing Barkov to sign. What would be cheaper and provide more value would be picking up Staal and Savard at the deadline for picks/Borg
I also view Lundell as the long term 2C solution to be honest although I am not the first fan to fall in love with a prospect too much
