Speculation: Nylander XX - all Nylander discussion here (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[firstemperor]

I would bet my life that doesn't happen.

Saturday*

Inconsiderate of the teams future? How so? If somebody flipped it around and said the team is being inconsiderate of his future wit their demands, would you agree?

I wouldn't agree or disagree without anything of substance going both ways on contract talks. That's why I said perhaps.

 

[Skin Tape Session]

One comment saying Domi > Nylander and now Drouin > Nylander. Easy to say I guess when Nylander hasn't played this year, but the fact of the matter is Nylander's last TWO seasons have been better than any season either of those two players has had in their careers so I'm not sure how that logic comes about. They're both off to great starts this season sure, but you don't think Nylander would be sitting at 20+ points as well if he were in the lineup on this offensive juggernaut? Let's wait until Domi or Nylander actually have a better season than Nylander before anointing them the better player.

Nylander is better than both of them combined lmfao at hf

 

[garyturner3]

Exactly my point, you don't think Drouin would possibly have 70, 80 + points playing with Mathews, or Marner? So it does not make Nylander any more valuable, in fact I would argue with Nylander signing for 7.5, or 8 Million Drouin would be more valuable. We live in a cap world, and salary can really hinder a players worth, case in point Price etc and many before him who's value went to basically zero after their contract. I am not saying Nylander will have no value, but it will definitely hinder how much he is worth.

Hey very well might. But there's nothing he's done so far that shows he would outscore Nylander in the same situation. I'm not saying Nylander is leaps and bounds better than Drouin by any means, but you're stating Drouin IS better than Nylander. That is a baseless claim because what we've seen from both players up to this point in their careers doesn't support it.

Has anyone heard he purchased a plane ticket to Toronto for tomorrow...because i didnt

No...rumor has it that he bought a ticket to Carolina....that rumor comes from Insider McSourcovich.

 

[nturn06]

He can wait till 4:59pm Saturday.

Wouldn't it be funny if he signs the last moment and then the Mapple leafs office loses power and cannot fax the docs to the league in time?

 

[Dustin]

Oh that's easy...."overpaid 60 point winger!!!" or "Leafs D sux...should have traded Nylander!!!"

Lol. Almost certainly.

I should have said what the spin from the Leafs and Nylander will be. It will be interesting to see what they say after this is signed as neither has really said much at all during the negotiations.

 

[Cenzo_]

It's actually not that bad of a deal. Petry would most definitely play with Rielly which would improve our top pairing, plus he's signed for two more years. Drouin would play with Matthews and his numbers would explode. Gardiner will be gone next year anyway and Dermott is ready to take 2nd pairing duties. It actually fills a couple of needs for the Leafs. Dubas would most likely ask for the Habs 1st instead of the 2nd though.

More like Bergevin will ask for the leafs' 2nd instead of giving a second

Petry at $5.5M for 3 yrs>>UFA Gardiner
Drouin at $5.5M for 5 yrs = or > Nylander looking for $8M

Why do habs give a second again ?

 

[Dustin]

I'm sure that wouldn't stop the league from approving the contract. They still have phones to call the league and explain the situation.

Dammit, I got excited for nothing.

 

[dirty stanchion]

This Habs fan offers you:

Jeff Petry
Jonathan Drouin
2nd 2019

for

William Nylander
Jake Gardiner


Take it or leave it.

Take out nylander and drouin and you've got a deal.

 

[Colt55]

2 days left till December 1st. I think he will sit out.

 

[Tanknation]

Nope. The Habs need Petry more then a forward. We're down to Petry, a rookie, a vet and AHLers. That's scary enough without making it worse.

I get that, but I am one of the few that is looking to the future and build on youth since mostly likely we will not be contenders for possibly another 3+ years.

at 11:59am--right


are leaf fans at least slightly concerned that he is still in Sweden?

Somewhat but if the reports are true and he’s looking for north of $6-something then he can stay there. He’s a very good player but he is the last of “the three” that we can afford to overpay. He’s worth 6.3-6.7 based on comparables over 6-7 years. If he wants 2-3 years he’s worth less.

I want him back not for under value and not for over value. He’s worth somewherbos the kid 6’s IMO. His next contract is his big in, just like every other player coming off a rookie deal (McJesus excluded)

 

[nturn06]

Dammit, I got excited for nothing.

Don't worry, he will sign over the next few days....







Probably in KHL.

 

[Dustin]

So at least one more Nylander thread before he signs.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

He's played his last game in Tarana
