Friedman: A gm said he would bet the Isles offer sheet TO [Mod Warning in OP - READ]

[Jester9881]

I don't think Lou plays those games.

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Don't see it happening but it would be darn entertaining if it did.

 

[fahad203]

I hope it happens. Just for the entertainment value

 

[Skin Tape Session]

Nylander would have to sign it, he wouldnt. If tavares bolted I doubt any other good player wants any part of that dump right now

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Why would he do that? Option A: Go to a bottom dweller Option B: Lose respect of your teammates in Toronto.

Ca$h. Lots of ca$h.

 

[HolyCrap]

Why would it be revenge? He was an UFA. Is Lou that butt hurt?

 

[FlyTimmo]

Offer sheet Matthews for a max contract lol.

You give up 4 firsts for Matthews, which is a good deal. Or you force the Leafs to pay Matthews a ridiculous amount. Win-Win.

But they won't do it.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Watch Lou offer sheet all 3 of them and place Toronto squarely in cap hell. Lou knows the finances better than anyone in the organization, he knows the players, he knows the agents. He is a dangerous man.

lol, no. I'm not even sure he knows much about the players if you look at the contract Komarov got

 

[Flukeshot]

Isles don't have the picks to offer sheet anyone, let alone someone like Nylander

Right. Nylander not an option. They'd have to wait until next year for Marner Matthews.

And I guess the key point would be to drive up their value. Sure the Leafs can match. Sure the player has to sign the offer. But if Marner has an offer in hand from the Isles for 10.1m that sets a price.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Nylander 5y 25 mill deal?

 

[compan]

Subscribed.


I'd say the big 3 are now happy about the opportunity of making a lot more now.

 

[WesMcCauley]

islanders don't have their 2nd/3rd picks next year

so

uhh

thanks for the 4 first round likely lottery picks?

They can probably get them back without losing that much

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

The player has to accept the offer sheet, not sure Nylander will ditch Toronto for NYI for some extra money.

 

[firstemperor]

Leave us alone, we never get nice things.

 

[jrgtml67]

Ya missing the boat here..for it to work the player has to sign it LOL they dont then it doesnt effect us..and who would sign it? The answer is no one

 

[Mikeshane]

Yea, how dare Toronto sign an unrestricted free agent!

The same can be said for an offer sheet.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yes because making a petty move against an organization because they signed a free agent is definitely what well run teams do. It is fine to be upset at Tavares but what in the hell did the Leafs do?

 

[AuraSphere]

is this gm an ex gm, aka Brian Burke?

Highly doubt Lou does it... no one is trying to start a war. If that were the case, Lou would have went after Minnesota back in the day for taking Parise.

 

[Gilligans Island]

You realize why I specifically offer him 4 years don't you If the leafs offer him 8 years at 11M I offer him 4 years at 12

I don't. Why 4 years? I can see this happening if Marner and Matthews aren't locked up. Some GM would throw an offer sheet at one, hoping the other frees up. DW did this to the Hawks with Niemi and Hjalmarsson.

 

[Rob Brown]

Doubt they even sign the offer. They want to win and the Leafs are in a good spot.

 

[Morgs]

LOLOL.

Little bitch, come at us.

 

[Whaleafs]

NY Islanders
NY Islander
NY slander
NY lander
Nylander

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I'm gonna need a shovel for all this salt.

NYI fans, media members, current players ("I don't blame them" for burning jerseys), and the management group are all in complete shambles.

Love the hubris. LOL.

 

[ohmyjlord]

It's one thing to send an offersheet to an RFA...a whole other thing to convince him to sign it.

 

[Yatzhee]

NY Islanders
NY Islander
NY slander

now this was funny

 

[SI90]

Just like they all said the feeling among executives is Tavares will re-Sign with the isles.

No ones offer sheeting anyone. The player would actually have to agree to it as well. And it would cost draft pick compensation.

I get he feeling that these TOR players will take less money to keep this core together.

 

[easton117]

Okay..... good luck with that.
Ignoring that you would need to get them to sign the offer sheet.

Offer sheet Nylander and we match, then trade him next summer. Beyond that Mathews and Marner will get extended before they ever get the chance to be sent an offer sheet.

I see zero reason why Mathews and Marner would ever sign before next year.

By what I’ve read on these boards they’re going to have even better stats this year. So why would they do that?

 

[Woll Smoth]

Great PR move. Should calm down the angry NYI mob.

 

[FlyingLeafus]

If the compensation for Nylander is 4 1sts this might not be such a bad problem to have

 

[Grandrift145]

4 1st rounders and we don't match on Nylander

 

[LMFAO]

Well that said Toronto player needs to sign the offersheet you know...

 

[TOGuy14]

Interesting take to have.

Islanders don't even own their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th round picks next year.

Also the only thing of value on the Islanders right now is Barzal so it is probably best that the Islanders don't start some sort of offer sheet frenzy in the league...

Good luck with that.

 

[TMLeafs17]

He should. Not for revenge but because The Leafa cannot afford to keep all 4 players including JT when 2 of them are going to be paid 11M + and the other trying to hit a home run close to 10. At worst it forces the Leafs to match. And that is a hard decision they will have to make.

So a glimmer of hope against the leafs and out busts TWS! Welcome back, how was your last 28 hours?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Oh god. It's like the circus and Snow never left LI.

gettin my popcorn out

 

[Morgs]

Nylander 5y 25 mill deal?

Lol as if Willy would take that joke of an offer.
