And if that happens, keep an eye on the . Neither Matthews nor Nylander would come cheap in a deal. The acquiring team would need a lot to send back to Toronto. On paper, the Penguins have a lot. said this in a recent podcast appearance: "I think (Nylander and Kyle Dubas) do have a good relationship, and I think the Penguins would certainly be equipped to make such a deal, both financially and with the number of picks they have at their disposal.

Dubas previously served as the GM with the Maple Leafs, and he was around when both star forwards signed their big extensions, before he departed for Pittsburgh. The Penguins still have the old guard around, led by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
