As a devils fan with all that skill what's going to happen come playoff time? your boys are going to get pushed around and bullied and lose ultimately lose out early against tougher teams.
Bratt - Hughes - Wilson > Toffoli
Meier - Hischier - Mercer
Palat - haula - Holtz
This kinda thinking takes teams further away from the cup than closer to it.
If it's one or the other you go for skill, everyday of the week. Let loser teams like the Leafs or the Rangers double down on grit and toughness.
Now I'd be fairly disappointed as a Devils fan if they dealt Toffoli for Wilson as he's been struggling with some major injuries.
Huge question mark as to whether Wilson is anywhere close to the guy he was 2-3 years ago or if the weak level of play he showed in 22-23 is his new normal.
Toffoli is way more likely to be the better player between the two at this point in time so taking this risk as you suggest the Devils do seems terribly ill-advised to me.
Besides, none of those forwards you listed for the Devils there let themselves get bullied and pushed around. I mean Jack Hughes picked a fight against Sebastian Aho in last season's playoff series against the Canes. These guys have no need for a babysitter and especially when the tradeoff is Toffoli for Wilson.
