i guessed 3 he got 2?
So you were wrong about him getting a multi year deal.
Loved the way he closed out the season. If he can play like that all year, he is a keeper. Still young for a D.
Ship up or ship out? He played great and a ton the second half of the season. This will turn out to be a steal.
Fwiw
If he keeps that play up I think the leafs protect him over Carrick.
Doubtful. If that happens I see them protecting 8 players instead of losing either one.
Especially after it's almost confirmed Willie doesn't need protection.
JVR
Kadri
Komarov
Bozak (If we don't trade him) or Brown/Rychel
Rielly
Gardiner
Marincin
Carrick
Andersen

I could see them exposing bozak if matthews is great, and leivo/rychel force their hand.
If it pans out that way I would agree but I thought Nylander's year in the ahl counted as a year of pro experience?

Brills started a post in the trade thread, it showed some players like Mantha were, and it showed that Willie was not. Something about his age pushing the year back because technically he would still have been a junior player. Can't really remember why.
yup, unless the leafs expose one of bozak/komarov, which they might and I'd imagine vegas would like that.
If you have time could you please post a link?
Aprechiated if you could.

Imagine the **** show on these boards if Leafs exposed Komarov. He's worth more than a mid-first to a quarter of the posters on this board.

Just offer LV a young guy with moderate upside like Hyman and add in a pick if needs be to leave the guys we like alone

Nylander's exempt.
And if he's not, it's not big loss, he'll be protected obviously.
That's what I thought.Yes, last I had heard he was going to be considered a 2nd year pro because he burned enough years to burn a year of his ELC in the NHL last year and he would be playing another pro-season this year.
Leafs can't sign a backup, or even put sparks on the active roster until cowen's situation is cleared up.
If they lose that, unless they trade someone, they have to wait until October to have a backup on the roster once Horton's LTIR'd.
