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

[AdvelPill]

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

LOL. Nylander wants more than he's worth, it's clearly about the money. And there's absolutely no proof that Dubas will pay Matthews or Marner whatever they want
Stop pulling things out of thin air.

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

I disagree. Tavares is better. Willys Daddy won't be a welcome sight at any future negotiation table. Adios Willy.

He’s saying I’m flexing my ‘muscles’ by trying to bet my account with him.

In reality it looks like he’s just a p****

^ Real tough behind the keyboard

 

[TMLeafs17]

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..

be ready my friend.

Worse for fans, teams, and the game though.

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

True.....that’s why cap teams must turn over talent constantly

says the guy that won’t make the bet.

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

I would guess they have a backup 1/2 year deal if they can't get anything else done

 

[hector morrison]

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.

Safe bet that it's more than he would make in any other league!

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

That would be good for you I guess..

I think he means more about you being scared to take his challenge/bet, but I could be wrong.

 

[Hunter368]

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.

Exactly

People shouldn’t be so quick to judge either side while knowing zero facts

 

[Alan Wake]

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

Tavares wasn't a need. A want, sure. Lots of teams wanted him. Tampa included. Not that they were ever offering 11 million a year, but you get my point; before you try and say "HAHA HE CHOSE US OVER YOU".

You take care of your own dudes before you add. Skewed perspective? I call that basic economics.

 

[Hunter368]

Safe bet that it's more than he would make in any other league!

Likely.....but that doesn’t make it fair either. We simply don’t know, I’m not judging either side without facts

 

[Dekes For Days]

However, factually, they'd have the space if Tavares wasn't taking 11 million a season aav.

Factually, they have the space regardless of whether or not Tavares is taking up 11 mil. Factually, Nylander is not worth what he is asking, and that is the only thing holding this up.

 

[TMLeafs17]

We can sign him, and we will.
