If leafs have to pay for contracts to be released of like Marleau and his extra year, that cost the leafs a first rounder.
Nylander for Karlsson should net a return of at least a first for the leafs and probably a second and a third, but also a propsect.
The remaining 4 years of this contract aren't going to be good. Yes this season might be the outlier but the remaining 3 years after that are going to be abysmal.
But even if Karlsson gets injured the leafs will have an amazing amount of ltir. Pull the same crap as Vegas and hide him till the playoffs each year.
Nylander and Brodie to SJ for Karlsson, 23 - 1st, 2nd and a 24 3rd.
Leafs cover the cost and sj pays with draft choices.

So the rebuilding Sharks take two pending UFA'S for Karlsson and give up a 1st,2nd and 3rd. Rebuilding teams typically want to keep their picks and not giveaway a 1st that could be a top 5 pick.

They get out of the contract a free themselves up to make a friendlier timeliness for the youth.
Karlsson should never get any capital (players or choices) back if there isn't a large cap retainment.

I am sure they would rather retain then give up a 1st,2nd and 3rd.
