Leafs should just offer Nylander, straight up, for Greenway. Wild have cleared enough cap to take on his salary. Sounds insane on the face of it, but Greenway is precisely what they need(besides a RHD);
-A giant young, physical presence with some skill who will make his team feel braver.
- an excellent defender, and on his way to being a shutdown guy.
- signed for 876K, I think, and under team control for years. Eases worries about signing Marner, and possibly acquiring a quality Dman in trade or FA.
Maybe Nylander blows up in the playoffs and shows that this disappointing season was a mirage, but Leafs fans have to be uneasy with what they have seen from him all year. On most other teams you couldn't spare his skillset...the Leafs can, easily. They don't need him to play 3rd line C.
