Nope. None of that is true actually. Toronto has already stated they're not giving up a future 1st for a rental, Simmonds is a pure rental. Once he hits free agency, he'll get $7M+ on a long term deal. There's no way he's taking THAT much of a pay cut to stay in Toronto. Toronto is already working getting Gardiner to take a cut to stay long term, Simmonds won't be affordable and it makes no sense at all to give up a 1st + other assets for him. & again you're wrong about Brown. It's not for sure that he's gone either. That's dependant on other moves to be made, but Brown can certainly get a more useful player that has term and team control back if they trade him in the summer, rather than waste his value on a rental. & the Leafs aren't trading Nylander for Pesce. IF they wanted to do that, they coulda done it when Nylander didn't have a contract and Carolina constantly kept asking for Nylander. & whatever move could be made for Nylander for a top 4 defensemen, there's no guarantee they get a 1st round pick back in that deal. Top 4 right handed defensemen are hare to find, wingers aren't. Any team would argue that and most likely not give up a 1st + a top 4 RHD for Nylander.
& Also as I've said, your scenario puts Toronto under the $3.75M cap space needed in this seasons cap to pay for bonuses. If they don't have that left at the end of the season, bonuses role over into next seasons cap and limit how much they can give their RFA's this offseason.
Guaranteed no from Toronto. It affects them too much negative in the long term.
Simmonds is not worth $7+ million so whatever drugs your on I wanna try some to see things how you see them casue clearly you don’t understand and a 30th overall pick is not really the best and over the next couple seasons the top 10 prospects are good then instantly the prospects look like your typical 3rd rounder. The prospect pool is not really that deep as it used to be plus if Carolina goes somewhere else for a winter they are still gonna want a good top 4 or top 6 forward back with a 1st you give a little to get a little that’s how this league works
Edit: Nylander $6.96 million aav, 60+point player, top 6 forward, worth top 4 d man and a first rounder if you give up a third rounder in same year
Simmonds according to you $7+ million aav 40-50+ point player, top 9 forward, worth about a top 9 forward and a second and third round pick
Sounds fair nylander is better but worth less than him that’s how that works
