Gibson very publicly torpedoed going to Toronto this past off-season, and he has the trade protection to enforce that.
Nylander also comes as a pending UFA whilst you are asking DeBrincat + return. Now no doubt Nylander is the better player, but that lack of team control is a major value hit.
So for a team not in a position to utilize him while he is under cobtract, why do we give all this up for a year of him only to turn have to compete for him again as a UFA?
