Confirmed Signing with Link: Nylander re-signs with Leafs ($6.96M AAV For 6 Years) - XXVI

[IPS]

I’ll just say it again, but this feels like cap circumvention to me. They sign a guy at the very last minute, and it just so happens that his contract is structured in a manner that his cap hit is a boat load this year when it doesn’t matter, and is much smaller in years 2-6 when the Leafs are in a cap crunch.

I’m not even saying that they did this intentionally, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t think this should be legal under the next CBA.

Then it appears you're not quite understanding the full picture of an RFA holdout withdrawing his services from a team for 2 months. Where's your new avatar at?

 

[Halla]

so not 7.5+ like some thought?

The team Nylander signed with is off-topic?

*ahem* Excuse me



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

CapFriendly's numbers seem somewhat different then what was reported on TSN: William Nylander - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

 

[greasysnapper]

Not a bad deal for the Leafs but bring on the headaches this summer. Lots of wheeling and dealing coming.

 

[Ainec]

took this long to sign a fair deal for both teams

I feel like this is more Dubas than Nylander camp

 

[connormcmuffin]

Even if the cap goes up next summer, it will only be about 2 mil.

Marleau has a nmc, I dont see why he would waive it.
Zaitsev is a cap dump with 6 years left.
Neither of these 2 will be easy to move.

Marleau is getting paid like the league minimum next year, he's not playing out that deal
They have to eat something to dump Zaitsev, oh well boo hoo

I've seen harder deals happen.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Pretty awesome deal IMO.

Why wasn't it this easy to begin with?

AAV if you account every year of the contract is 7,5ish. Cap hit is 6,996,000 year 2-6.

I guess you missed my edit but you're wrong, again...basic math

26/82 = 0.31707317073
6,996,000 / 0.68292682926 = 10,244,142
So 6.996 = 10.2

the 7.5m number would be valid if his cap hit is 10.2m assuming he played 82 games this season (not the case)

 

[KlefDown]

so basically 7m? 6.996 is not too bad though
Marner will probably not go below the 8 mark
Matthews the 10.5 mark.
whew

 

[WesMcCauley]

I think a better way to look at it than this is that Nylander is making $41.77 million and only having to play 5.66 seasons, instead of saying he signed a $45 million contract. If you want to go that route, Nylander is getting $7.37 million a season from this contract. It makes more sense to include both the salary he lost and the length of time he didn't have to play.

Well thats a different way of looking at it. The fact is he signed a 45m dollar contract but loses money from the first two months of the deal because he didnt play at that time.

so not 7.5+ like some thought?

AAV was never in question 6.9 is the number. A little confusion over how mich he gets in total by the end

 

[IPS]

Not a bad deal for the Leafs but bring on the headaches this summer. Lots of wheeling and dealing coming.

So we're gonna be gutting our team of Hyman, Brown, Hainsey and Gardiner (who was already 90% gone anyway)

we as Leafs and DON"T GIVE A FOOK

Marleau will almost certainly play out his deal, he had no reason to leave a contender.

 

[connormcmuffin]

They also have 5.3 million in LTIR they can use.

It was the best of times in Leafs land.

Every Leafs game is going to be like a PPV event

 

[DFC]

Feels like they met in the middle. Surprised it took so long when it seems like people were predicting a similar number for a while now.

 

[McBooya42]

so basically 7m? 6.996 is not too bad though
Marner will probably not go below the 8 mark
Matthews the 10.5 mark.
whew

Matthews will get 11

 

[Crosbyfan]

Overpayment slightly mitigated by a Cap circumvention.

What?
You realize Marleau signed a 3 year deal with the leafs so he could have a chance to the cup?
And you think he will retire after only 2 years to help the leafs?

 

[heretik27]

This clip sums this signing up for me

 

[Puckstuff]

Marleau HAS TO GO next year.

 

[48g90a138pts]

Congrats Leaf fans. Everyone else can move on now, nothing left to see here. Just a good deal for the team, and front loaded contract for the player. Good for both sides.

 

[TorontoTrades]

So where does he go in the lineup? Lineup beside Kadri?

Matthews - Nylander
Tavares - Marner
Kadri - Kapanen

Those should be the C-RW combos for the 3 lines. Fill in the rest.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

More than half of the money is bonus?

God damn it Toronto, thanks for the upcoming lockout.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Matthews will get 11

I think he gets even higher to be honest, I'd be shocked for him to take below $11.5 million. I think the real wildcard here is Marner, he's the guy that's hard to predict on his next contract.
