Toronto needs cap relief it is as simple as that. Is Fiala as gifted offensively as Nylander? No! But does Fiala's all around defensive game make up for that? Yes! Nylander is garbage defensively. He has never won a puck battle in his life, he would turn away from going in the corner with a 6th grader. Fiala's value comes with his contract and and his all around play. This is not a bad trade for either team, as Minny has more all around good players, where as Toronto needs players with an all around game not simply offensive minded.
Not to mention that this shaves 4M off Toronto's cap, what are they going to do when Reilly needs a new contract or especially Andersson after this season? What the Toronto organization and fan base fails to realize is that there are a lot more factors in evaluating players other than skill.
