With camp around the corner, and Toronto fielding one of the top 3 forward groups in the NHL, rumors are starting to really prosper...For the Leafs, there is still no Nylander deal on the horizon...the sides aren't even close and it could get dicey really soon...

Were only Nylander a right hander D-man...But out there sits right a handed shooting, solid all-around, Jacob Trouba...signed, but not committed long term to the Jets...

Obviously, the Jets NEED to acquire a D-man for Trouba....they are also stacked on the scoring side of things....

I am told the Jets could swing a deal that lands them Nylander and then moves Nylander out for another solid d....possibly to the Flyers.

From a source

"Quite simply, Toronto has the most they can offer for Trouba, even though that asset doesn't fit perfectly into the plans for the Jets...The Jets and Flyers have been talking. It is possible Nylander could be moved to Philly for Sanheim.. The Flyers are still looking for one more piece up front."

It is also possible that the Flyers could talk directly to Toronto and offer up a lesser D-man for Kapanan...who grew up in the Philly area...

more to come..
