I wonder how many Leafs posters now claiming that he is not worth $7M will be singing his praises once he signs and the season starts.

It will be fun to refer back to this thread...

I will be singing his praises if there are elements to his game that deserve praise.

so you're going to be laughing at Leaf fans if he signs for a market rate, then outperforms his contract? good call
That's one way to look at it.

One other way, for a sub-section of Leafs fans, is to believe in magic thought: "Let's concentrate and force him by the power of our minds to sign a cheapstake contract and then show how great a player he is."

You are not part of that sub-section, even if you're tempted to be once in a while.

Then you're a reasonable fan.

Unfortunately, not all Leafs fans are like you.

They will sing his praises even before the puck drops.
Thank you, but on the board my reasonability changes in accord to the degree my opinion differs from other posters. I was just called delusional by a poster yesterday!

Nylander is worth $6-$6.5 based on his comparables, that's not cheapskating, it's looking at his results and seeing that there are some guys who have recently signed in an extremely similar boat who have just signed, giving us terrific precedent to work from...there is so little guesswork in this scenario

if he outperforms that in the future, great, but its not imperative on the Leafs organization to speculate that he will

Fair value based on his production is "cheapskating"...but meanwhile in trade threads, Nylander is suddenly a guy who isn't worth a quality defenceman.

pick one, HFBoards.

cheapskate contract? If he signs for less than 6 ill agree with you. until then I believe the team is offering a fair deal. Since when have the Leafs been cheap?

Where did I ever mention that he was not worth a quality dman.

You did not mention me by name or quote me but that "cheapstaking" (not "cheapskating" :wedgie:) is a dead giveaway.

I apologize.

I should have been more precise.

I agree that 6+ (the + being 200K or 300K) would be fair.
