Insider Links Nylander to a Western Conference Powerhouse

William Nylander has been linked to a Western Conference powerhouse and the trade concept is quite interesting. Read more to find out all the details!

Over the past few years, Maple Leafs forward William Nylander has blossomed into a bona fide star and borderline superstar. This past season, Nylander posted his first 40-goal campaign and his first point-per-game campaign as well.

This type of production appears to have garnered some attention league-wide, especially from some of the better teams in the NHL.

On the 32 Thoughts podcast hosted by Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek, Marek shares this idea.

This is quite the proposal considering how Colorado is loaded up with talent from the front to the back. This has led to much speculation about what a potential return for Nylander would look like.

For a team like Colorado, with a plethora of young talent, the trade discussions have to begin with 2019 4th overall pick, Bowen Byram, or 2019 16th overall pick, Alex Newhook.

Of the speculation on what will be the centerpiece for a Nylander trade, it is clear that if Nylander were to be shipped, it would be one of those two, or both, that is shipped back to Toronto

This type of trade has happened before with the Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones trade which happened in 2016 where one blossoming star player was traded for an older star player at a different position.

With this all being said, Nylander for Byram would be an intriguing idea and Kyle Dubas should definitely explore the idea.
