Looks like this thing is headed towards the end. Thankfully we won’t see anymore convincing Leafs fans that Nylander for 3 mediocre pieces is better than nothing and that Larsson is a fair trade. Pumped to have Willy back

4 years * 5 mill = 20 mill
We can add two years at 8 million per = 16 million
Total = 6 years and 36 million

Ok. So what about our defense?
Will Nylander venture into the corners during the playoffs this year?

We have enough good pieces in house that will fill the D gap soon enough.

Why would you ever trade Nylander to upgrade defense? Unless you are getting a Jones Werenski or Provorov type you are losing any deal involving Nylander, which is part of the reason why he’s not getting dealt. The other being he’s a fantastic elite winger that every team would die for to have on their team and trading a player like that is stupid
Leafs defense is good, stop getting brain washed by hf posters who dislike the leafs.

They're not good. But they're not bad either.
They're right in the middle. Mediocre. Mostly due to their right side.

Strange that you have some reporting a short term deal while others are reporting a long term deal. Both sides have kept a pretty good cone of silence throughout this process. Hard to believe either is opening up just before this is complete. So seems like a lot of speculating still going on. Possibly some guessing to be able to claim they broke the news.

Each day that passes the future cap hit (years 2+) of the contract drops. A 6 x $6.5 million deal is almost at the point where it would now be a 6 x $6.333 million deal.
If we do sign him now to similar numbers (which is the number everyone predicted he was worth) my guess is that the cause of the hold-up was Dubas. Dubas probably offered a 'low-ball' offer (6 x $6 million or even less) and didn't budge. I think the reason he was so comfortable with this is that he realized the cap benefit that comes the longer the player holds out. I think he really hoped that Nylander would cave but planned to up his offer late-Oct/early-Nov if he hadn't signed (which is what I think is happening now) given a higher offer is not fully reflected in the cap-hit.
A small difference for sure but it is still enough of an advantage that it was worth the risk of trying to get Nylander to sign that initial offer. I think the primary goal was to get Nylander at around $6 million and the intentional fallback was to sign him at a slightly reduced hit by waiting a month into the season. Dubas probably saw it as a win/win-a-bit-less type of scenario.

Nylander seen this show up infront of his house this morning.
Deal should be done tomorrow, 6*6.5

You don't need to go into the corners if the puck is on your stick.

I'm curious if this has any real impact if he gets payed most of this year's salary as a signing bonus. My guess is not, because it's dependent on him making less money in year 1, but I could be wrong.
No, but if for the next CBA fight we end up with a short season and the league pro-rates earnings, the Leafs would be in serious troubles. Many teams would be in troubles, but the Leafs would be in very very deep.

It does. Signing bonus has no impact. He's still getting all his money this year regardless of if there's a signing bonus or not. Which is why the cap hit is lower the following years.

If he's getting all of his salary, why is there the constant "he's losing $35,000 every day" talk?
