Nylander contract talk VI

[Kiwi]

Nylander and his agent already have that covered.

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

He just signed a sponsorship deal with ReebokCanada
Does that sound like a guy looking to force his way out of Canada and the Leafs?

This is just posturing, wait and he will come to heel eventually
He has very little leverage

 

[Mikeyg]

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

Peddle his ass outta here, can’t give in and cave on your #6 guy. We ain’t getting pushed around.

 

[Kiwi]

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

Has he been offered that much?

stop being so f***ing dramatic.

There's no caving, Leafs/Nylander will settle on something in the next two weeks.

 

[Tavares to Marner]

imagine dubas gets this guy to sign under 6

 

[stewpac]

If Dubas is not willing to go that high than he's doing more harm to the team than good. Obviously I'm making an assumption, time will tell

 

[93LEAFS]

I don't understand why fans take these negotiations so personally. It is one thing if a guy says he wants nothing to do with being here or is being completely unreasonable. There appears to be a decent middle-ground to be found soon. These things can just take some time. I'm slightly annoyed he isn't at camp, but if this gets him on a better deal like what happened in the Gaudreau negotiations I'm fine with Dubas's tactics, and fine with Willy trying to break them a bit.

I never thought this would be an easy deal. Michael Nylander is a notorious asshole and is an autocrat with his kid's careers. Just ask anyone who worked for the Steelheads.

Then it will be for under 2 years and people will be stressing a potential Subban or Ryjo situation.

im talking like 4 years +

5.7x4 or something would be a good settle, meet in the middle for the years worst case

Would be stupid to sign him right to an arb year. It makes no sense for either side to not go 2, 6 or 8. You want to buy UFA years if you are going long-term.

Plus, I don't see it talked about much, but it seems some of the contentiousness is over lockout protection. So, maybe we can knock down the price if we fully guarantee his potential lock-out year deal, but no chance we do that on a bridge.

Been hearing this for 4 months, sounds off.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nylanders original ask is 8, so logically it's in the 7's or below.

Leafs original ask was 6, so let's logically it's 6's or above.

Have to assume it's beween 6.25 and 7.5 right now long term. They have a week to get it between 6.5 and 7.

This was probably the plan all along.

Because they waiting until the season is close, thats when actual dollars, and paychecks, and games mean something.

 

[613Leafer]

I mean, I think the RyJo situation would be pretty ideal lol. Get Nylander to play for us on a cheap two year bridge contract. Then when he's looking for a raise, flip him for a younger cheaper defenceman with legit Norris potential? Sign me up lol (but yes, I get what you're saying).

Likely story.

 

[Mikeyg]

Friedge saying not even same ballpark. Mark my words if hes not signed by oct 1 his ass is grass.

 

[kindalaidback]

yeah, friedman knows what's up

 

[notdoneyet]

How would you like to be paying bobby Ryan that much for
What he brings

 

[Garbs]

stop being so ****ing dramatic.

britney

 

[Muston Atthews]

Willie you really dont wanna play with these guys for the next decade??

 

[Mikeyg]

Offense looks just fine without ya 29, better get yourself in check fast nylander or your ass is getting booted

 

[Leafs87]

Kinda feel different about the whole situation after a co worker filled me in on his fathers past with contracts he sat out once and even signed a deal with Edmonton then they found out he actually signed with Washington as well...

 

[freshwind]

yeah, friedman knows what's up

friedman got it from dreger who got it from ek who got it from mike from buffalo... totally legit ...

 

[Ulysses31]

Damn Willy is swoll...plus that hair...and beard...simply irresistable
