Could the Blackhawks be players for Toronto's William Nylander?

The ongoing negotiation saga between William Nylander and the Maple Leafs could force Toronto into a trade of their young star. But could the Blackhawks be the right trade partner?

TSN’s Craig Button certainly thinks so.

On TSN’s Leafs Lunch radio show, Button proposed a trade of Brandon Saad to Toronto for Nylander.

On paper, this seems like a no-brainer for the Hawks - and also a proposal that would make the Leafs immediately hang up. However, Button notes a few reasons why it makes sense for both sides.

First off, Saad could be the power left winger Toronto has been looking for to pair on a line with young star Auston Matthews once he returns from injury.
