Would you do it without Nylander?

My first thought was that you would jump all over this.
That being said, we keep Keith to mentor Boqvist and Mitchell, but will trade you guys De Hann for a pick.
I get that we are taking Perrault back as a cap dump...fair enough.
We just don't have use for Niku. He had one stand out AHL season a couple years ago but otherwise not entirely impressive. We have Zadarov, De haan, Carlsson, Beaudin, Vlassic all on the left side. We need a first liner or prospect but otherwise we are covered.
Roslovic is okay, I think he'll make for a good 3rd liner eventually but he's never going to live up to his first round status. Nylander, not by a ton, but is more valuable at this point with more natural skill and upside as such. Who knows if either player ends up more then a 3rd liner but think Nylander has a better shot.
So that leaves us with Keith for a cap dump and a 2nd. Just not going to do it. You'd have to move up the 2nd to a 2022 1st and if you want to include Nylander for Roslovic add a 4th coming back to us.
That's where it's at IMO. I do think Keith would waive, not sure if we would trade him, but has to include a 1st for us to consider I'd imagine.
