that would be amazing!My guess is that Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Kapanen contracts are gonna be announced the same day and then the press conference will be done on the same day as well
I know a close friend of Nylander's girlfriend and apparently hes holding out for 8x8M
ahh I was just screwin around I hope he signs long term 6-6.5MThat number isn't insane compared to what Nylander could likely become but unfortunately he doesn't have any run way to prove that nasty playoff display was just a blip on the radar. Just not sure if we ultimately are going to have to choose between he and Marner, and you have to consider money, production, impact, everything. Maybe they bridge him for 2 years in that case?
No hometown discount though, when you factor in what Kucherov just signed for.

I missed that one......Damn sure hope not. Id like to hope they want to win more than get paid the big big bucksHah! Well, funny enough, they did talk about $8 million on the Athletic podcast.
There's definitely some value to spread out the contracts like that.Nylander 7x7 expiring 2025
Marner 7x7 expiring 2026
Matthews 8x10 expiring 2027

Taking the coilers and buffalo out of the equation are those numbers really that out of line? Buffalo and Edmonton are outliers, not the norm. Kucherov just gave up 7 ufa years on a 8 year deal for 9.5 after a 4.6 bridge deal. He’s coming off back to back ppg+ seasonsGetting those three long term for 24 seems optimistic.
I’m also a huge fan of staggering the expiration date of the forward group by going 6 years for Nylander 7 for Marner and 8 for Matthews so then only one of the big four forwards come up in a single year in the future. It really hamstrings you when there’s two big deals to negotiate in a singular off season, just see our situation next summer with both Marner and Matthews in need of new deals, if you ask the general fan base it’s impending cap hell.
Fair enough, That’s what I had always wanted prior to JT coming home, but I can see either way. 6 years for Nylander probably brings the aav down a half mill or so tooIf staggering is the goal, I would just consider the big 3 and sign Nylander for 7 years. I don't see any reason to stagger around Tavares. He would be 35 starting his next contract.
if willy asks for 8mil/8 and im dubas i counter with 1mil/8 then immediately say "see i can say stupid things too" then sign him for what hes earned or trade him lolHah! Well, funny enough, they did talk about $8 million on the Athletic podcast.

Yea that's not happening.. Sorry.My guess is that Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Kapanen contracts are gonna be announced the same day and then the press conference will be done on the same day as well

who the f*** voted ''will be traded''? show yourselves.
10, 7.5,6.5. 11,7,6. 10.5, 7, 6.5. Tavares left money on the table, Dubas made it quite clear that will be instructive moving forward, I think 24 is doable, no question.Getting those three long term for 24 seems optimistic.

That's also JT's "last" contract, the big 3 will have others. I don't look at it like a discount either, just fair. You can pick each player, find a comparable on another team that is fair. Just because the Oilers are clueless doesn't mean the Leafs have to pivot off that. I think my numbers are quite fair, nobody is getting hosed or take advantage of, simply a good deal for the player and for the greater good of team success.i hope so too. Lets be fair here JT had $80M banked already when he left money on the table its quite alot easier to leave money and be generous when you open your bank statement and see $40m~ just sitting in there. The big 3 maybe have a couple of million each its pretty unfair to expect them to take discounts
