Well it looks like another battle to make the playoffs and probably out in the first round again.

I think we all know that we can not have half our salary cap used up by four forwards. I also know that everyone likes Nylander because they think he has the best contract of the four and you are all probably right.

But Nylander's contract is the only tradeable contract of the four in this cap setup.

So I know this will not happen but if it could these trades will be better for the team and fan base.

Tyler Bertuzzi

Toronto trades Engvall

Too much for Rakell and they probably don't want Nylander.

If any of the big 4 are traded it's to a NJ type of team. Someone looking for a legit superstar because they're on the cusp of contending.

Bertuzzi may be traded and if he is it's because he's too old now to be ready when the rebuild is over. I don't think Yzerman has any interest at all in Dermott and Kerfoot. You want Bertuzzi you looking at high picks and/ or Amirov, Sandin, Robertson.

Nylander is worth far more than that alone

I do like your Bertuzzi trade.

Yea, Nylander should get better than Rakell and a 2nd.
If trading for Bertuzzi, definitely need to know what he wants on a new contract first. If too much, like he wants $5M+ on a 4 year deal, I wouldn't do the deal for him.
