A recent video that has garnered significant attention suggests the perfect trade destination for William Nylander, the star player of Maple Leafs.

Sending Nylander to the Colorado Avalanche could be an astute move, particularly considering the injury to Gabriel Landeskog. This trade would also place Nylander in the western conference, where he would escape the intense media coverage he has been facing for the past while.

Potential Gains for the Leafs

The Avalanche finds themselves in a unique situation. As per the video, their captain, Gabriel Landeskog, is sidelined for the entire upcoming season, thus creating a perfect spot for Nylander.

Furthermore, Colorado boasts a diverse team consisting of seasoned players and young talents. They are a team well acquainted with victory, having won the Stanley Cup in 2022.

An Attractive Proposition for the Avalanche

The Avalanche's defensive depth is impressive, with players such as Cale Makar, Devon Toews, Sam Girard, Josh Manson, and Bowen Byram. If the Leafs were to consider a trade deal with Colorado, they could potentially acquire Bowen Byram. Being the 4th overall pick in 2019, Byram hasn't fully emerged yet, but has shown great potential. In Toronto, Byram would have an excellent chance to play on the top pair alongside Morgan Reilly.

The trade would give the Avalanche a fitting replacement for Landeskog, who could either helm his own line or play with Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon. This deal could be beneficial for both sides, enabling the Leafs to secure a promising future defenseman, while providing the Avalanche with a star forward to bolster their pursuit of the Stanley Cup.
