Nylander got 25 million in signing bonuses. As an RFA. Stone and Duchene are licking their chops.

Not a fan, eh? I have never been impressed but also don't know him too well. What are your thoughts on him?Sherback on waivers, plz don’t pick him up
NTC in the final year - the first year he is eligible to receive one.NMC?
Makes him eminently tradeable. Overpay in signing bonuses, and the player's value goes up for every non-cap team. It's basically circumvention of the retention clauses, retaining dollars without hurting your cap.why this bonus structure for a non-superstar player?

Here's hoping that Nylander contract turns into an anchor for the leafs.
Not likely, unfortunately.
Even if Nylander, who's only 22, remains what he has been for the last two seasons (a 60 point winger), 6.9 m is fair value. As the cap rises and Nylander likely improves, the contract will probably look better and better as the years pass.
Marleau's contract could hurt them next season, though, if he doesn't waive his NMC. He has a signing bonus coming out July 1st, and I believe only $1m in actual salary, so if he waives his NMC they might be able to dump that contract as well.

Leafs have been doing fine without Nylander, would be kind of funny to see a "more is less" situation where his addition now suddenly throws a wrench in their chemistry.
Pretty sure that exact thing will happen. As much as Willy practiced and trained hard, it isn't the same as playing real games. Walking into that room, having to readjust the lineup and the time for him to get up to speed will shake up the room a fair bit.
Partly done to make other teams, like Ottawa, sweat?Another completely stupid contract offered by the Leafs. Lockout here we come.

These new bonus style contracts will be a huge disadvantage to Ottawa who is already at a big disadvantage as a cap team
