Why?
Legitimate question. What are you getting for him at the TDL? Prospects & picks.
What are you doing with those prospects and picks? Using them to acquire another rental? A lesser Nylander with more $$ allocated but one more year of term?
Or you're keeping the prospects and picks but weakening your position going into the playoffs? And we'll see those bottom-6 players we drafted between 24-32 slip in as tweener NHLers around 2028?
Hockey trades aren't made at the TDL. I bet that Nylander moves in a hockey trade or he plays out the year. At best he gets moved in the summer to a team that wants exclusive negotiating rights. - Monkeypunk
You can for another position of need or get picks/prospects to acquire another player.
Lots can be done.

Genesis! - senstroll
I liked I think it was NHL 92 on Genesis. If you skated anywhere in the vicinity of Wayne you got a penalty. I used to take the Red Wings and destroy teams like Trevor Moore did Chara that one time.

I had to double check how they named them first...the first version on SG was just NHL Hockey released in 1991, and then there was NHLPA Hockey '93 released in 1992 and then they started the NHL 94, NHL 95 etc
I was a kid and walked into a store that had the first one playing on a demo TV.. I was in love immediately. I had an NES and Blades of steel, but this was way better. I got my mom to buy me a genesis asap and that hockey game. I bought the game every year until around 2006

In NHL 94 Jeremy Roenick was the greatest thing that ever was. My buddy used to take Chicago because they had Roenick and he had his patented "Chicago goal" that only Chicago could score - Roenick would plow into the crease with the puck and move Potvin out of the way and then pass it to Larmer for the one-timer into the empty net.
I do know that EA later confirmed it was a number error in one of his attributes that was actually accidentally very low on Roenick but it caused a wraparound to occur that made the number statistically higher than anyone else in the game (like I honestly don't remember what it was, but let's say it was supposed to be a 70 and they entered it as a 7, and the game didn't know how to process anything that low so it did something like subtract 7 from the maximum which was 255 - so he was like a 248/100 in some stat or another).

Ah it must have been NHLPA '93 because I remember the PA part. That's funny that it was the NHLPA. That was when you could make a guy's head bleed on the ice. We played the snot out of that game.

I went to Consumers Distributing and bought my Sega Genesis just to play that game. Little did I know I'd also learn to love Sonic & Tails. - Monkeypunk
My brother and his frat buddies used to lay bets on '94 - playing computer vs. computer.
It sounded like the stupidest thing I'd ever heard, until I tried it.

Yeah, the '93 had all the player names, but you played for "Toronto", "Chicago", "Long Island", etc.

And a hack I learned from my brother and his buddies:
If you really needed to win a faceoff in your end, and the puck was being dropped on the left side of the screen, if you timed it right and pulled your goalie just before the linesman dropped the puck, your goalie would skate through the faceoff circle (heading for the bench) and knock the opposing centre backwards, so your centre would always win the faceoff.
