So the Leafs could grind him down to 6.75 instead of 7? Is it really worth the drama, speculation, hard feelings and watching Nylander miss valuable camp/preseason time over $250k-$500k?
In my opinion, yes. They still have two big fish on the line that they still have to get in the boat. If they hold firm on their number, if I'm Marner's agent, I come to the table next summer with *very* realistic expectations.
And Tavares is a totally different situation, he was holding all of the cards.Leafs hold all the cards in this situation.
