Nick Kypreos has never shied away from uncomfortable conversations in Toronto, and his recent comments on Real Kyper and Bourne reopened one of the most sensitive debates surrounding the Maple Leafs: would the team actually be better off moving William Nylander?
Kypreos discussed a couple of trade ideas that involved the dynamic winger. In one case, he quickly dismissed a trade pitch. In the other, he liked the deal and said he would pull the trigger. They were two distinct trade ideas involving Nylander but both were meant to improve Toronto’s blue line.
One was a high-profile one-for-one swap with Adam Fox. The other involved Seattle Kraken defensemen Brandon Montour and Jamie Oleksiak.
He Said No to The Adam Fox Trade
The Adam Fox concept didn’t pass the sniff test for Kypreos. While Fox was once one of the league’s smartest puck-moving defensemen, the former Norris Trophy winner is no longer what he once was. Kypreos made it clear he wouldn’t move Nylander straight up for him.
