In this situation, the Leafs would be sending Nylander to Anaheim for Zegras, a move that would free up cap space for the Leafs this year.
Zegras for Nylander a Good Deal for Toronto?
The question becomes if this trade were to occur, would it benefit Toronto? The Leafs are definitely strapped for cash, but they aren't in a position where they have to sign Nylander this year.
Nylander scored 40 goals and 47 assists last year for the Leafs for 87 points total. Zegras, on the other hand, had just 23 goals and 42 assists for 65 points last year. It's clear that Nylander is a much better overall goal scorer.
Now, there is a possibility that Zegras would do better in Toronto with all the skill and talent on the Leafs' roster. However, if the Leafs make this trade just to free up cap space, they may be disappointed in the future.
