Well aware that Nylander is the younger player with 5 more years of control attached to him. But at a time where the Leafs are a Cup contender, right before an expected Cap crunch will be hitting them in the near future, he has been struggling this year coming off his contract hold out. While the Leafs would be selling a little lower on him, they would be getting a red hot Kreider at the top of his game as the Playoffs approached. Shattenkirk might be struggling a bit, but his offensive skills off the blue line would definitely mesh well with all the fire power Toronto has (and you're getting him at a discount rate). Having him at the lower rate not only helps in getting a better pick mover over Zaitsev, but lessons the blow of Gardiner leaving after the Season. The Cap hit for both Kreider and Shatty next year will only be about $700K more than Nylander by himself, which helps during the Cap crunch.
