Can he play center

No, and the Leafs wouldn’t do this in a million years

Toronto declines this trade

yeah, dubas would have to lose his mind to do that

What if we add a first and second 2023 instead of a 4th

he 100% can play C, he's just better on the wing

I mean yeah, but he’s rlly not good defensively lol. Recall 2019 playoffs

And Kuzy be there 3c?

Doesn’t make sense for the leafs even then, nylander is on a rlly good contract and actually performs in the playoffs. Doesn’t make sense for them to trade for an older player who’s more expensive. And plus leafs don’t need more centre’s lol, Matthews and JT are good enough lmao

Yes, he can play center. At least better can Kuznetsov can.

And yeah, I can imagine the Leafs wouldn't do this.

i prefer to recall the 2021 playoffs where he was an absolute beast at C in the playoffs

It would be cool because Bäckström used to live with nylander's dad I'm pretty sure

I'd imagine they would move him to the wing, I've seen enough Leafs ACGMs trading for Larkin and putting him at 1LW that Kuzy moving there isn't too much of a longshot.

Neither team would do this. Value wise, this heavily favors the Caps. But this doesn't fit either lineup at all and creates more problems for both than it solves.

Leafs can't take on the extra mil in cap.

Lol what? He played on a line with gally and Kerfoot and was the RW. what playoffs were u watching

. I’m not a leafs fan but that would work IMO
