This helps calms the nerves and gives reassurance that he WILL sign, its just annoying right now and it would be better if he was signed and at training camp, I feel like this is causing a distraction and is at the back of the minds of Leafs players, I mean there is already an article out saying how Matthews "misses" Nylander.

Auston Matthews misses William Nylander | The Star

 

[Menzinger]

Yeah while obviously we likely all would prefer this to be settled ASAP there’s still nothing out of the ordinary.

The sad thing for Leafs fans is we’ve had so few young players over the past decade be anywhere near this good or so we haven’t had much experience over waiting for larger RFA contracts

 

[Boutette]

Great chance for some of the other young Leafs to show their stuff higher up in the order early in the season. Kapanen, Johnsson, Leivo maybe Grundstrom too. Glass half full, IMHO.

 

[FelixPotvin29]

The bottom line is that Nylander needs to play more than the Leafs need him on the team. Add that to the fact that he is an RFA I don’t see why Dubas needs to budge much if at all to get this done.

 

[Nithoniniel]

It's interesting that there are a few agents that really want their young talent to play hardball, but the results just haven't been there. Makes you wonder why it is still being done.

Agreed. Kind of unfortunate that Nylander and Marner are with two of them.

Pride of the agents.

I think as outsiders we think these negotiations are guided by pure rationality when I suspect that isn’t always the case

I'm not really sure but if that article in the Athletic is any guide this won't go well for them, Dubas is a new GM in his first big RFA contract battle so they may have thought it's worth a go

I'm picking Nylander folds before the season starts still

I believe its because if you arnt elite theres no money after 32-35

Agreed, 6 x 6.5 deal, and heavy with signing bonuses of course. Also, I'd expect a partial NTC (maybe 10 teams until he's 25 or something).

NTC NOT ALLOWED.

I don't think he can get trade protection until he's out of his RFA years

Dubas may be able to bring the AAV down a bit if he gives Nylander his money as a bonus on that potential lockout year as well, I'd imagine that would create some goodwill

 

[Mikeyg]

Trade his ass, it aint close.

Wait him out

It's not that bloody complicated, Nylander has very little leverage so wait his ass out instead of doing something stupid in a knee jerk fashion

Nylander and his agent already have that covered.

 

[Critical13]

Don’t let Friedman’s panic cause you to dislike Nylander.

He’s still our boy. A deal will get done.

Dont need the headache, dude needs to get some nuts about himself and take control of this situation.

Leafs holding firm and the wingers could us a few extra looks in preseason.

Win win

All part of negoiation tactics bud, don't sweat the small things.

 

[stewpac]

If he was my boy he'd be at camp making a cool 6.5 million a season.

 

[Walshy7]

NTC NOT ALLOWED.

He will be 27 in 5 years right so if he had a 6 yr deal he could have ntc in his 6th yr. not that that would be a contract hold up point
