It's no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs are facing some tough decisions as they head into the next season. Rumors are swirling that one of their core four players - William Nylander, Mitch Marner, or even Auston Matthews - could be on the trading block. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/73toffoli/status/1659780389567889408'> </a></blockquote></div> Recently, a user on Capfriendly.com, a popular hockey website, proposed a trade scenario that caught the attention of many fans. <h2>Major Trade Proposal emerges sending Nylander to the Calgary Flames</h2> According to this proposal, the Leafs would send William Nylander, along with Connor Timmins and Boston's 2023 1st round pick, to the Calgary Flames. In return, the Flames would give up Elias Lindholm, Rasmus Andersson, and a 2023 2nd round pick to Toronto. <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/270866.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> With Nylander in Calgary, their roster would look like this: <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/curtis_fid98/status/1662898252365037568'> </a></blockquote></div> The Leafs find themselves in a tricky situation, especially with Auston Matthews entering the final year of his contract. With his impressive performance, Matthews is expected to demand a hefty salary in the range of $13 to $15 million per year. As a result, the Leafs must carefully manage their salary cap to accommodate his needs. <h2>Nylander's Natural Connection to Calgary</h2> Adding to the complexity, William Nylander is also approaching the end of his current contract and will be seeking a significant raise. It's clear that the Leafs simply can't afford to keep both players on their roster while maintaining financial stability. Interestingly, Nylander has a unique connection to the Calgary Flames. His father once played for the Flames, and William himself was born in the city. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/miketgould/status/1662251464918433793'> </a></blockquote></div> One thing's certain: this trade would have a major impact on both teams.
