This is a tough trade to gauge.
At first glance it looks great for TO, they are trading the best player but they are getting a guy who will become their #1RHD, Bratt who looks like he's a talented young player and Johansen has been effective in the past.
However, the best player in the trade without a doubt is Nylander, and he's 22 so his entire prime is still ahead of him. I am not sure trading that potential for 2 guys who are 27 and soon to be leaving their prime is a good idea. TO has a long window and this effectively shortens it.
Think about it 3-4 years from now. Nylander will be coming off his best hockey of his career while 2 of the 3 pieces TO obtains will be on the road to decline as they move into their 30's.
Personally I'd rather have Nylander's prime than the tail end of these guys best years.
