Proposed Trade Deal Could See William Nylander Moving to the Canadiens

The hockey world has been abuzz following the revelation that the Maple Leafs and William Nylander are far from reaching an agreement on a contract extension. This has led to a flurry of conjecture regarding his future.

A recent hypothetical trade proposal has ignited conversations about the prospect of Nylander joining the ranks of the Montreal Canadiens. The trade details are as follows:

In this proposed deal, the Leafs would receive Mike Matheson, who had an impressive run in the past season, amassing 34 points and a +7 rating in 48 games despite the Montreal team's poor finish in the Atlantic division.

The Leafs would also benefit from the addition of Jordan Harris, a promising young defenseman who made his rookie debut this year with the Montreal Canadiens, racking up 17 points in 65 games.

Riley Kidney, a dynamic playmaker and another potential acquisition, had an excellent season in the QMJHL, contributing a stunning 110 points in 60 games for both the Gatineau Olympiques and Acadie-Bathurst Titan. Moreover, the Leafs would receive a 2nd round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.

Over the years, Nylander has grown into a highly skilled player, notching his first 40 goal season in the recent past. His performance in the playoffs has been particularly noteworthy, outshining the core four by scoring 4 goals and totaling 10 points in 11 playoff games.

In terms of a new contract, Nylander is reportedly seeking an annual salary of $10 million.
