Here are the details:

Why it could work: Latest reports indicate there's a sizable gap between the Leafs and Nylander in extension discussions. If talks completely fall apart, the Leafs might be better off trading Nylander - who can become an unrestricted free agent in 2024 - than losing a core piece for nothing. Nylander may be more open to extending with the Rangers - one of his father's former teams.

Nylander is undoubtedly the best player in the deal, but Chytil, who's just 23 and locked up for four years at $4.44 million annually, would allow John Tavares to move to the wing, where he's likely best suited at this point in his career. Kakko's career got off to a slow start, but the 2019 No. 2 pick is coming off his best year and still has room to grow. Schneider also brings far more top-four upside than Liljegren and could be a long-term partner for Morgan Rielly. Goodrow and Jarnkrok would be swapped at near identical cap hits with the retention.

Why it might not: Nylander is a rare game-breaking talent who's arguably been the best postseason performer of Toronto's Core Four, and our voters think there's not enough value in return. If this is the best offer at new genral manager Brad Treliving's disposal, he might use the season to keep working on a Nylander extension and even be prepared to use him as his own rental if a deal can't get done.

Here's the vote on if someone says no/is it a fair deal:

Cushman: Leafs say no
Douglas: Leafs say no
O'Leary: Leafs say no
