When it was announced that the Maple Leafs and William Nylander were not close to reaching a new contract agreement, people started speculating about what would happen to him. A rumor has emerged suggesting that Nylander might be traded to the Montreal Canadiens. Here's the mock trade: <q>To TOR: Mike Matheson Riley Kidney Jordan Harris 2nd 2025 To MTL: William Nylander</q> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/284286.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> <h3>Analyzing the Trade</h3> Despite playing only 48 games last season due to injuries, Mike Matheson performed impressively for the Canadiens. He scored 34 points and had a +7 rating, even though the team didn't perform well in the Atlantic division. Jordan Harris, a newcomer to the Canadiens, made his debut as a defenseman last year. Despite ending with a -3 rating, the 22-year-old scored 17 points in 65 games. Riley Kidney, an emerging playmaker, has been making a name for himself in the QMJHL. He scored 110 points in 60 games for the Gatineau Olympiques and Acadie-Bathurst Titan. In addition to the players, the Leafs would also receive a 2nd round pick in the 2025 NHL draft. William Nylander has developed into a highly talented winger over the years. Just last year, he had his first season with 40 goals, and many argue that he performed better than the other core players of the Leafs in the playoffs. In 11 playoff games, he scored 4 goals and a total of 10 points. According to reports, Nylander is looking for a contract worth over $10 million as his game continues to improve. Are the Canadiens willing to pay that price? <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/xwleblancx/status/1675953370249453568'> </a></blockquote></div> As seen on Habs Fanatics - <a href='https://www.habsfanatics.com/nhl-team/montreal-canadiens/Trade-Proposal-Emerges-Sending-William-Nylander-to-the-Canadiens' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Trade Proposal Emerges Sending Nylander to the Canadiens</a>
