Congratulations Delaney! 👏🎓
Dont see nylander as a trade option, mainly because it sounds like a debrincat deal is close.
Ultimately I'd prefer nylander, but the cost to aquire will be higher, aswell as a bigger contract extension.
I'm certain nylander will be looking for 9.5-10 mil maybe more.
Debrincat will probably come in at 8-8.5.
Factoring both the cost to aquire and cost to extend, acquiring debrincat is a better move imo.
