Confirmed with Link: Nylander Re-signs: 6 Year x $6.9 AAV Part II

[Zybalto]

I think the thread title should be updated to reflect the actual Cap hit, which is not $6.9, it's $6.996. If we are going to round it, then it's $7 million.

It's actually 6.969....

 

[PromisedLand]

looking at Johnston's tweet I think Dubas waited till the very end to see if nylander camp would budge; they didn't so dubas caved and filed at 4:55 pm to the NHL headoffice

2 weeks minimum.

no way in hell lol.

probably in 1 week. Next sat vs Boston

Problem is it’s 7.45m and even years 2-6 are not 6.9m, but 6.996m, which is 7m essentially. It’s way too much. 0.8-1m more of the money we don’t have enought to sign other guys. Leafs just could not afford to overpay for soft winger on the team going toward year of cap crunch. Out of all other guys he is last one I would keep, so it’s sign and trade deal. Willi just took timself out of our roster by being greedy.

Please explain how it's 7.45M???? How is 7.45 relevant to the CAP?
The CAP is our only constraint, otherwise we would be spending 100M.

It's 6.97M.

Did you just state your opinion as a reason why he's going to be traded?


Babcock has already stated that he'll be in the lineup as soon as he's available.

So he pulls a hammy and is out another 3-6 weeks?
He's not in hockey condition.

 

[DarkKnight]

A game with the Marlies first?

 

[PromisedLand]

btw where is Leaf Home? he must be over the moon with the singing

What are you not understanding about this? the cap hit (the issue you are *****ing about) got completely ****ed over by the bonuses which we conceded to recover his LOST MONEY FROM THIS YEAR. It was always 100% about the money, what aren't you getting? The $$$$$$$$$$ is all that mattered to the nylanders, it had nothing to do with cap hit. And just to be perfectly clear here, im explaining that this was a concession over salary for time missed. Thats what we lost.

Is the final cap hit in years 2-6?

If so, then i’m happy.

Could it have been better? Apparently not. Considering it was a last second deal.

 

[Alerion]

If someone has the time, love to see the collection of greatest hits from the final ten minutes of thread 50.

I know I was in there saying it wasn't going to get done and how disappointed I was

 

[Throw More Waffles]

You’ve been beating the trade drum for weeks now. It’s not happening.

I have most certainly not been beating a trade drum. I was hoping beyond anything for Nylander to sign at market value. If he refuses to, he becomes trade bait as a back up plan.

So I'm just saying... this contract is organized so that (even though it's an overpayment), it's an amazing contract after July 1st 2019 for one of the many cap basements teams, if that's what the leafs ever try to do.

The more I think about it, it's a really smart contract that Dubas handed out. I overreacted when I first saw the length and terms.

 

[sampollock]

Hab fan,
Thing is play well you get paid,

Mitch and Austin are warming there banks accounts

 

[Nithoniniel]

So he pulls a hammy and is out another 3-6 weeks?
He's not in hockey condition.

It's Babcock's decision. He's already informed us of it. There's nothing to speculate about.

He's not in worse condition than guys coming back from injury to start the season. Guess what? They get put in the lineup right away as well.

 

[BigBlu]

wow- 7.5 per plus 25 MIL in SB.... kid got everything he wanted

 

[egd27]

Interesting point I read on the main forums. Looks like it's structured in a way to give huge trade value to a cape basement team.

"So, after the Leafs pay his $8.3 million bonus on July 1st, 2019, they could trade him to another team, who would only need to pay Nylander $24.7 million over 5 years. That increases his trade value significantly, should Dubas decide to pull the trigger."

If organized primarily as trade bait (if he doesn't improve as expected)... this contract is growing on me.

It's completely structured to align with a July 1st trade.

$20M to sign and take a playoff run this year.....easily moveable once M&M's deals commence

 

[Sonny21]

It's actually 6.969....

McKenzie had it at $6.996, Johnson has it at $6.97, whatever the correct number it is (if it's $6.969), then that should be used.

That's close to a million difference, weird way of rounding it off.

Revised to $6,971,326 on CapFriendly and reported as $6.9 million on NHL.com. Where precisely the final number is likely only is known when we actually see the full text of the contract.

 

[Liminality]

I'm fine with the cap hit, I wanted 6.7m but that would have been a steal.
6.969m is 8.76% of the 79.5m cap. Lower than Pastrnak's, much lower than Draisatl's and is a fair price for what he brings. We can definitely fit him with Marner and Matthews.

[hotpaws]

The Dube's about to do his presser

what's the over/under on how many times he says "process" per min ?

 

[Canadian Finn]

So he pulls a hammy and is out another 3-6 weeks?
He's not in hockey condition.

his current physical condition is going to be a telling sign as to how serious he is....

 

[mcleex]

When is there gonna be a press conference about it

 

[Liminality]

McKenzie had it at $6.996, Johnson has it at $6.97, whatever the correct number it is (if it's $6.969), then that should be used.

McKenzie corrected himself. I posted the tweet but that was in the last thread.

 

[Walshy7]

It's actually 6.969....

[MOD] Say it ain’t so, that $96,000 player was the difference between a cup and no cup

No they don't. They practice until they're good to play.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Why would they trade though? Out of spite because the negotiations were tough?

No they don't. They practice until they're good to play.

Matthews just got included in the lineup in the first possible game. Weber didn't sit out games after getting healthy, waiting to get up to speed.
