I would trade him for a stud defenseman. He is not a playmaker as much as a finisher & with this group he's not really required nor would it appear enough ice time & space to warrant as much money as he wants.
Winning 16 playoff games takes much greater balance than the Leafs currently have. Nylander as investment to be dealt isn't a bad thing, it's just good business.
The Leafs have all the offence they need without him as they need a horse on defense to win in the playoffs so I'd deal him.
