Pass on retaining on both and taking back a dump

Leafs accept but I think you’re short a 3rd

This is closer, but I really don't think Leafs want to lose Niemela. He's likely their most important prospect right now. They need him to be a top 4 D on a cheap contract as early as next year, however probable that may be.

ngl im not sure if top 4 d is in the sights for topi lol

I think he's doing well so far in his first full AHL season while admitting I'm not watching a whole lot. I just don't think they have any other options there if they want to keep Nylander lol They need a cheap contract who can play on the back end effectively.
