Saw this on the Mains with regards to Nylander’s potential contract. Leafs fans saying that the longer he holds out this season the lower his cap hit will be in the upcoming seasons. Any of our cap smart people like @Fourier able to give insight.

Arent all contracts prorated anyways? so it doesnt matter when he signs.

That’s what I thought. That his cap hit and salary for this season would be prorated. And every year after would just be what the contract is for.

But they’re saying his cap hit this season would be higher the longer he holds out and lower for each subsequent season.

I really can't see how longer holdout = lower cap hit. It will all come down to how willing either side is to budge, and if either side is willing to go with a 1 or 2 year deal if they can't make a longterm deal work.

Edit: Oh i see what you meant in your follow up post. I'm about 99% sure that is not the case. This season would be prorated and the following years would be at the agreed upon rate.

It will be lower. Same thing happened with Hampus Lindholm and the Ducks a couple seasons ago. He signed about a month into the season for $31.5M over six years (which would be $5.25M AAV under normal circumstances). The first season his cap hit was $5,713,415. The remaining five years it is $5,205,556.

Interesting, but pretty much negligible difference. In that case Nylander should stay firm on his 8M ask because he can say "look you'll be getting a better cap hit because I lost money by holding out".

How do the Sens score 5 goals today without McDavid? So confused

Seems really weird. But thanks for that!

I don't know but as long as they keep the Kings from getting points I'm happy.

 

[TheNumber4]

Sens body the Kings. Man that franchise has to be the best at being the underdog.

Leafs fans = most insecure losers on the planet

The fan base are provoked by the media, who perpetuate the nonsense.
any other team, and TSN and Sportsnet panel would say "Calm it down a bit, a small sample size, let's give it 20 games before we annoint them as contenders"
but being that the Maple Leafs have had a hot 5 game start..."OMG!!! We have the nexxt Gretzky and Orr, better than Connor and ripping the league apart"
somehow perspective gets thrown out the window.
Fans feed off the BS that is fed to them.

 

[Del Preston]

It took 18 seconds for a playoff team to score on the Leafs.

Matthews picks up another minus.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

With Boston pantsing Detroit and bare-bum spanking them, I wonder if Blashill has moved ahead of McLellan in the first coach to get fired race. 0-3-2 now.

as fun as it is to see Washington clown Toronto,

Any one else getting frightened when we have to play th Caps in a few weeks?

 

[Belieber]

Clown? 3-2 Leafs is being clowned?

As an Oilers fan I'm frightened before every game.

Detroit is a bad roster though. They are supposed to be bad.

Toronto is outshooting Washington and beating them?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Must be nice to score 4 a game.

The score doesn't reflect the game.
Things will balance out, in the course of a season.

I'm actually frightened you're frightened.
You're a fan of both the Oilers and the Leaves.
You should've had that anxiety taken care of years ago.

Possession metrics are pretty equal. Scoring chances are slightly in Toronto's favor too. They are out shooting and ourscoring them too. Only thing Washington has more of is hits. If that's being clowned then we must if clowned New York today too

I don't know what I did to deserve todays results. Havent had many Oilers and Leafs wins on the same day the last 12 years.
