Shut that window close

He's worth every penny

Oof

Oh. So we agree and I just f***ed up and didn't realize it? Let's look back at your reply to that post:



Definitely the tone of somebody who was in total agreement...

If your point was always Holland's management skills why did you throw a hissy fit over me comparing the Leafs top end contracts to Edmonton's in support of the argument that it was Holland's management skills, not the top end contracts of Edmonton? Again. Don't lie about what you said, the quote button is easily accessible.

C'mon man, you listed 4 guys for one team and 5 guys for the other. Shall we mention Campbell? How bout Neal, that's another $6M and still 4 against 5.

You've quoted me multiple times and still don't understand. What do you think my first post means? Why would I mention the wasted 6 million if I didn't think it was the issue? I'll rephrase it.

C'mon man, you listed 4 guy for one team and 5 for the other ignoring crap like Campbell and Neal which are $6M of wasted space.

Your response should simply have been yeah Edmonton wastes cap in different ways. That's it. Why would you continue arguing if you understood my first post? Why would you add Neal (and not Campbell for some weird reason) if you understood in the first place? The only explanation is the you didn't understand my first post and wasted our time and won't admit it.

If at first you don’t succeed…. Keep doing the same thing over and over again, just pay more money for it.

 

[EXTRAS]

Signing your big contract at your absolute peak must feel amazing.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Probably 95% in signing bonuses as well.

 

[kp61c]

Lol, what a train wreck.

 

[BB88]

They just gave him whatever he wanted

 

[LemonSauceD]

11.5M lol

 

[lamp9post]

When you keep paying the absolute max to all of the 3 it means depth problems

11.5 is ridiculous for Nylander

Not really when You take it into context.

Is he really going to sign for less than Marner or Tavares, who signed their contracts 5 and 6 years ago respectively? While being the better player?

 

[nucks88]

Awesome.....they must be glad they got rid of Dubas....

 

[beowulf]

Insane that they might have 4 forwards with over $10M in AAV next season.

I still don't understand. Yes. It's me that's the problem. It's me that doesn't understand.

We'll just ignore that you're STILL complaining about me "Ignoring crap like Campbell and Neal" when the whole f***ing point was to differentiate Edmonton's top end contracts from the "crap like Campbell and Neal". Which sum up Holland's mismanagement.

Think that's more on Ken Holland's management skills, honestly.

EDM paying $34M for McDavid/Drai/Nurse/RNH. That's a far cry from TOR's $48M for Matthews/Marner/Tavares/Rielly/Nylander.

You're talking in circles now because you don't want to admit you're wrong. Just stop.

Dear diary lol

Call me Nostradamus if after 8 years and this core is past its prime with nothing to show for it and idiots in this fan bas will still say it was the right call.

So annoying

 

[Folignos Helmet]

sure sign of a bad contract, the moment you sign it, it is untradeable

Pasta makes 11.25M and has been superior player to him, recent signing
Aho is going to be making 9.75m from next season forwards, has been a more valuable player than Nylander throughout their career.

Yeah this contract is absolutely stupid

 

[canuckking1]

That's a horrible contract. That's 13+M on the open Market

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Nylander gambled on himself and it paid off in spades.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Insane that they might have 4 forwards with over $10M in AAV next season.

"might"?

Seems inevitable at this point, I doubt Treliving moves Marner in the offseason.

It is possible that you can repeat mistakes and not learn. Seems like that's our lot in life.

Our future is going to consist of losing to teams who's talent was not selfish little pricks and thus have a much more balanced line up.

And you will still be confused

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

He's a selfish prick and this contract is a detriment

But then again when TO hands out those jumbo contracts to AM, Marner and Tavares, why wouldn't he demand it too?... He picked a perfect year to be playing unbelievable and cash in on this

 

[666]

I still don't understand. Yes. It's me that's the problem. It's me that doesn't understand.

We'll just ignore that you're STILL complaining about me "Ignoring crap like Campbell and Neal" when the whole f***ing point was to differentiate Edmonton's top end contracts from the "crap like Campbell and Neal". Which sum up Holland's mismanagement.

Then what do you think "Shall we mention Campbell? How bout Neal, that's another $6M and still 4 against 5." mean? What do you think I was saying? Why argue? If you misread and assumed that I thought 4 against 5 needed to be debated then why not just add Hyman to your list and be done? You should have responded once and only once yet you misunderstood and are still wasting time.
