The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators might be on the brink making a blockbuster trade. Here's the scenario: <q>Toronto receives: Thomas Chabot Ottawa receives: William Nylander</q> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/308567.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> <h3>Breaking Down the Trade</h3> The buzz around William Nylander's future with Toronto has been the talk of the town throughout the off-season. The big question: will he sign an extension before the new season starts? As the trade deadline looms, chatter and whispers are only going to get louder. While there's a mutual interest in sealing the deal, it appears that Nylander might not be inclined to compromise his pay for the team's benefit. With young players coming up like Knies and Robertson, the Leafs will soon have a surplus of forwards in their lineup. If Nylander leaves, another promising player could step in. And with free agency around the corner, who can predict the moves Treliving might make? The Leafs, on the other hand, have a pressing need to bolster their defense. Acquiring a top defenseman in Chabot might be their ticket to a deep playoff journey. <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/308590.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> Chabot is a key member of the Senators' leadership and it would be surprising to see him leave, but Pierre Dorion might be tempted to make a move if Nylander is on the other end...
