Speculation: Nylander XXIII - The Today Will Be a **** Show One Way or Another Edition (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[Dekes For Days]

That's easy for Roenick to say with a net worth approaching $40 million

Gee, I wonder how Nylander could guarantee himself a net worth of 40 million...

Hmm...

 

[Wingsfan 4 life]

Oh hell no, I don't think anyone in the SEL makes even close to a million a year.

No, but I doubt he makes any more in the KHL.

 

[hector morrison]

Weird situation. Couple months ago people pointed out that Kucherov didn't sign until October in the last contract. I guess they can't really use that comparison anymore.

Hope he sits out the whole year. Classic Toronto prioritizing certain players before the young core that they drafted.

What a skewed perspective. The Leafs should have passed on Tavares? Get real.

4 more hours

Pffft. That was like 9 mins ago.

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

People are in denial

Nylander wants his worth while Dubas wants to only pay Matthews and Marner what they want, not what Nylander wants

It is entirely based on respect

 

[KlausJopling]

LOL I agree, everyone except the NHLPA.

I would love to hear what they truly think. I would guess the PA doesn't want the headache of 15 young players going through this next year, or maybe they do.

They want there players making the most money they can. And don’t want guys taking discounts because that discounts other players.

Still think he signs and stays a Leaf. If he wanted out there would have been a lot of leaks on negotiations.

A player is trying to get what he is worth + RFA CBA rules = Team wins

Bottom line, Nylander is getting smoked because of the CBA rules.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

I can’t imagine he doesn’t sign, the Leafs are legitimate cup contenders and whether people like it or not, winning in Toronto would mean more than probably any other market. The bridge deal seems so obvious I don’t know know why it hasn’t happened yet.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Really proud of nylander for showing the world it was never about money. It was about respect, of which Toronto management has given him zero.

Yeah. I wish my GM was more like Chia and just paid whatever the players ask out of respect. Lucic, Russell, overpay for Drai, etc.

Leafs are trying to build a contending team not a mediocre team that is up against the cap.

 

[Strait2thecup]

It’s gonna go one way or the other I guess.

Well no, not really as only one of us is speaking in absolutes with “insider info”

 

[Dekes For Days]

Sobotka made $2.6 million playing for Omsk (the team that has Nylanders rights) in 2016.

And that made him the 4th highest paid player in the league, during a healthier time for the league.

 

[57special]

All i know is, XXIV is coming fast!

Kind of shocked it has gone down like this, but I would be even more shocked if Nylander doesn't sign something by 5pm. That would be cutting off your nose to spite your face...by both parties.

 

[These Are The Days]

What a skewed perspective. The Leafs should have passed on Tavares? Get real.

They needed to sign Nylander first instead of chasing the big, shiny toy they didn't need

 

[Petrus]

Really proud of nylander for showing the world it was never about money. It was about respect, of which Toronto management has given him zero.

Always been about R € $ p € c t.

 

[Saekk]

Whatever happens, i'm gonna have a field day going through these threads later.

 

[sansabri]

It's not a headache for them. The more a player gets, the better for other players.

 

[TMLeafs17]

I’ll still throw that **** deep into your face though. Be ready.

People are in denial on both sides of the fence.

It can swing either way, and the amount of people here who may have a legitimate inside into really knowing what’s going on is 0.001% of the people posting.

 

[Strait2thecup]

I’ll still throw that **** deep into your face though. Be ready.

Ok, I don’t care?

“YEAH MY TEAM SIGNED A PLAYER THEY ONLY CAN SIGN YEAH SUCK IT!!”

That would be good for you I guess..

 

[Leafs87]

Feel like it’s been done for a while just not announced yet

 

[hector morrison]

Sitting him for a year or weakening his trade value isn't maxing out the potential of his team.

Willys choice to sit....He isn't being asked to play for free!

 

[Aoko]

This ****show is hilarious... 12 threads and counting. We can and we will? Leaf fans are gonna be in for a rude awakening next year. I expect Nylander to sign around 7 million, but either way, this isn't a good start for Dubas.

In the eyes of Leafs fans, he brought John Tavares, the promised boy. He can do no wrong! But Matthew's next contract should be juicy.

 

[Helistin]

this thread is moving so fast no one will see that i only read this for the hot takes

Let's sum it up to two basic posts.

Nylander is being greedy even though no one knows what he has been offered
and Dubas is cheap since he tries to lowball Nylander even though no one knows what he has been offered.

 

[DanM]

It's not a headache for them. The more players get, the better for other players.

Worse for fans, teams, and the game though.

You cannot have a hard cap system, and high salaries for all players.

Willys choice to sit....He isn't being asked to play for free!

No one knows what he was asked to play for.....but you’re right it wasn’t free.....just not sure if fair or not.
