I think Domi only works if we are moving out a sizable contract. I know we might be able to fit Domi in if/when we dump Murray, but it will be with a 20 man roster and the defence still lacking a bit.
To me, Willy is moved D man (Pesce? Parayko?) or for picks and prospects so we can sign a D man (Dumba?).
In this scenario we are moving Nylander for a Dman, Domi and cap space...probably a little more actually.
Nylander for Pesce (+ something from CAR to even it up)
Murray and Hirvonen for SJ Future Considerations (maybe we toss in a bit more)
Domi 1 * 2.5M
Toews 1 * 1M
Knies Matthews Bertuzzi
Robertson Tavares Marner
Domi Toews Lafferty
McMann Kampf Reaves
Holmberg
Rielly Pesce
Brodie Klingberg
McCabe Liljegren
Giordano
Samsonov
Woll
This lineup has about $3M in remaining cap space (if we send Holmberg down)...if we want a veteran 3rd Goalie or another F or D.
Moving Nylander also allows us to keep one or both of Bertuzzi and Domi beyond this year.
I am not a "trade Nylander" guy, but Bertuzzi and Domi make him expendable and the best chip to upgrade D and add depth everywhere
