Speculation: Nylander X - All rumors, proposals, discussion, etc. HERE

[LeafFever]

Did you even watch that series? Nylander did not go in the corners. It was pretty obvious he stayed away from.contact.

I think he could go in no corners and we win that with average goaltending. But we did not get that.

My god is Nylander really considered an elite player now?

Depends where you draw the line.
There were only 12 players his age or younger last year with more points.

Lol shock jock Dean is likely not the best source.

His schtick ran thin on "the edge" and now he's acting like a sports guy?

To be fair he did have the Babcock and Tavares signings

Roman Polak, Martin Marincin, James Reimer, Cam Ward just to name a few

So that poster had to clarify that Nylander is not comparable to Roman Polak.

Looks like 7 year 6.75 million deal

In EA, or Advanced Capology 101 College (2 Year Post-Graduate) you learn to never trade an elite forward for defensive help.



What are you talking about? Just because I can't come up with a shining example doesn't mean you can't try. Does every trade have to be a 1 for 1 deal?

For a player like Nylander, 1 for 1 for an elite defenseman of similar age. No packages.

Not his professional name....but it fit his schtick.
He pushed boundaries on terrestrial radio in Toronto for quite some time, with his shock humour ala Stern, Opie and Anthony Etc.

It's odd seeing him as a 'legit source'

But Hey, if the zebra changed his stripes, so be it.

What? How?

Well the question is: are they gonna prorate salary or earnings.

Note that due to the nature of signing bonus, if they play half season, Tavares still makes about 10.5 out of 11 mils. Now, if they prorate his actual earnings over a full season, that would mean a cap hit of about 21 mils, wouldn't it? 10.5 /41 games means 21/82 games.

This issue was not a problem at the last CBA, but now there are way too many players which have the salary mainly as signing bonus, and there are rumors many GMs/owners don't like this. I expect to be some discussions regarding this in the next CBA negotiations, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to simply prorate the salary or earnings.

There are few players in the league with similar structured salaries, and if this becomes an issue it will probably hit a third of the teams. But if the Leafs end up signing AM/Marner/Nylander to similar contracts, they would have the most money tied in such salaries.

Seems kind of meaningless to state that Nylander is better than Polak.

Can anyone confirm hearing this?

I missed overdrive today.

 

[Devonator]

Yes, it's far-fetched to suggest a player with a career high of 22 goals and 61 points is an elite player.

I am not a leaf fan but I would say Nylander is trending in the future to be a elite star player...he is very young and he has looked very impressive....without question a top line player!

Be a good deal if they land that one.

 

[NextYear67]

Bobby saying 6.75x7 wooooooo we win

 

[Icebreakers]

Fair contract if true.

A deal is getting done.

7 year deal is good! Lock him up long term!

 

[FelixPotvin29]

Pretty much exactly what’s been discussed as fair for months now
