He already is at PPG and is even deemed to be close to Matthews. For that reason, I see 10 million per while Mats would be a bit higher.Get Willy signed ASAP before he puts up ppg

NOPE thats crazy money.....Do we want to win or do we want a front loaded team?He already is at PPG and is even deemed to be close to Matthews. For that reason, I see 10 million per while Mats would be a bit higher.
If Nylander is viewed as an Eichel level talent, he's going to paid as one. Matthews is obviously going to be paid at that level or maybe a million more.NOPE thats crazy money.....Do we want to win or do we want a front loaded team?
Why would he be viewed as Eichel level talent? Eichel is all the Sabres have. He is the driver for them....Nylander is MAYBE our #2 guy?If Nylander is viewed as an Eichel level talent, he's going to paid as one. Matthews is obviously going to be paid at that level or maybe a million more.

Exactly...Thats the cap for him... I'd say he between 5 and 8.5 millionNylander's top is Draisaitl 8.5M money
Oiiii no way he signs for less than 6 imoExactly...Thats the cap for him... I'd say he between 5 and 8.5 million
Tough to say how much Nylander signs for. IMO, it'd be a travesty if he signs for a lot more than what Pasta got.
Draisaitl already got overpaid relative to Pasta- we don't want non-team friendly deals on our roster.
This is probably contentious, but his father used to look for the best deal possible when he was in the league as well (not blaming him for it).....just not sure you will see Willy give a clear discount like Ehlers.
I don't know if we can still slot Ekblad in at 1, to be honest. I'd put all of Drai, Nylander, Ehlers and Pastrnak ahead of him, IMO. Agreed though, very solid group. I still remember a friend of mine who was pissed we didn't take Ritchie. It's been great to see him eat crow on that one.Such a tough question and up for debate.
Ekblad
Drai
Nylander
Ehlers
Larkin
Pastrnak
I still think its early to tell. This group shuffles by the month. Very strong group.
Larkin has had a great start to the year.One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong.
I'd look into trading him for the 1st overall pick if he is asking for anywhere near 10 million.
Nylander is actually scoring less than he was last year in his first 7 games,
2-5-7 this year vs 4-5-9.
He is a great player but predicting a crazy 20pt leap in production is too early. He might get to 70 pts sure. But there are peaks and valleys in a season. He may get 25-60 this year.....
Anywhere from 6.5 to absolute Max on an 8 year deal of 7.5. More than likely in the 6.75-7.25 range
Both of the above are true. Nylander was rookie of the month for October last year and off to a better start than this year, but presently his 2-5- 7 point pace [=82 games 23 goals 59 assists 82 points].
Last year 22 goals 61 points vs. current pace 23 goals & 82 points = + 20 points potentially.
His production will be much more stable this year IMO. He'll also play 2+ minutes more per game than last season. I'd say he's getting 75+ this year.For sure, but there are peaks and valleys. OVY isnt going to score 100 goals this year. My personal bet is 25-30g 65-75 points over a full 82 game season. Contract of 6.75-7 ish.
