Maybe he actually wouldn't just sign any sheet and maybe he actually wants to keep riding on Matthews wing for years to come. And maybe most teams agree he Isn't actually worth over $7 million per year?? And losing assets while paying that salary really Isn't worth it.

This whole Nylander situation just shows how screwed these kids are coming of their ELC. Even if he sits the whole season he's still stuck in the same situation next year, but he hasn't advanced a year toward arbitration or UFA status.. If he was coming off those last two seasons as an UFA teams would be lining up around the block with 8x8 contracts.
It'd be an 8 team league without the RFA system. The intention is for the player that has spent years being developed by a club to sign with them. That Nylander has apparently incurable beef with Toronto is not the norm. Rarely do you also have a team that is so able and willing to just sit on a prime asset. It's sort of the perfect storm of stupid.
Agreed, he has to sign the offer sheet. Who would pay him 8 mill and give up those picks? I wouldn't and I don't think he is worth 7 mill per year either. We don't have the assets TML needs to trade for Nylander anyway, they need RHD, and we have none to give up.

Agreed, the NLPA/NHL screw elite players on ELC/RFA contracts, the players have no leverage. The UFA's have all the leverage. It's a trade off agreed to by both sides. Nylander gets that right once he hits UFA status. Until then guys like him and Trouba can't compare their salary/term package to other players with similar stats that are at UFA status. It's really a 3 tiered payroll system.

Demers doesn't make or break this team. He can walk. Lybuskin can replace him, or not. Mayo, Russo and Gross can battle royale after that.
Chambers: Maple Leafs holdout William Nylander on the move
This reporter seems to think Nylander is on the move and lists Nashville, Columbus, and Arizona as possible landing spots.

Step #1 Pick up Nylander for Demers + Perlini + POJ + 1st* + 2nd**
Step #2 Offer sheet Matthews for our future.
Step #3 Win the Stanley Cup.

Can't offersheet Matthews if we trade our 1st for Nylander
I would give up Demers as part of a package for Nylander but TML won't want him.
I don't like saddling Strome with those two rejects but scratching Panik is interesting.

If they switched Strome & Richardson, i'd feel better...but it's nice having Chucky back.

Strome and Stepan should switch. Not Strome and Richie. Richie has earned his spot. Stepan has not
If Nick Merkley ever gets healthy he'd be an interesting substitution for Archibald.
Cousins - Strome - Merkley
Panik got his shit together after a couple scratches last year. Hope it can do the same this year.
Can't ignore this one. You think the Coyotes are going to pay Nylander, pay Keller, and offer sheet Matthews?? Did the owner win the Powerball??
I feel like they're just wanting Strome to fail
If DVO was healthy, Strome might be scratched. Tocc will juggle lines and Strome will get PP minutes too, all good.

I hope they give Strome some more capable line mates too... wow. HOWEVER... Great to see Gally on that first line. Very interesting line, too. Excited to watch that game play out!
Panik has earned his scratch, I think. Stepan is getting close, imo. He's not been horrible, but not playing up to what he needs to and is paid well for. I'm still PO'd he lost that empty net battle with Wheeler. Just looked so limp (in spirit) and weak in the skating. That's tainting my view of his play, probably, haha.
I'd like to see Strome with Grabner a bit more, personally.

I didn't see the game against Winnipeg, but but his stats show he was down right terrible in the dot, and was quiet against the Hawks except in the dot. He deserves to play ahead of Richardson, but RT likes his vets. Strome has to show consistency, just like Perlini. If they don't, they will sit.
Perlini is getting every chance to succeed. So far, he has not taken the bull by the horns. He better pick it up or he will sit.

This should be the order. Or move Step to the wing, completely unreliable taking faceoffs. When he's taking one, I expect to lose it.
