Lool at the ppl who are sayin dubas made a mistake in all of this.. yea made a mistake not paying the guy 8m when hes not even worth 7m. Delusional
Thanks. I couldn't find it either and am asking the Bruins board resident capologists but it seems like a sneaky little loophole because the Leafs contract would be after the deadline.
Common sense would indicate that the Leafs would have the 7 days to match but the fact remains that if/when they did it would be a contract signed after the December 1st deadline.
What a crazy loophole that would be to get a player to get to pick his team; 'I've signed with this team and they can have me play this year. Accept their trade, accept their compensation or match but you'll be paying me for this year and I won't be playing.'
Signing- 33.3% chanceI cannot honestly believe it has come down to the wire? I thought this would get done long ago....at this point I highly doubt he plays for the Leafs again....I am assuming a trade in the next few hours or so!
Why can't Nylander and a team have a deal in place to sign the offersheet one hour before to force them to match right away before 5:00pm or take the compensation?
An offer sheet is a signed contract. That can be done up until Dec 1st 5 pm, and Nylander can play in the NHL.
Toronto then has 7 days to decide whether that contract applies to them or to the offer sheeting team, and Nylander would be able to play for whichever team that was.
That said, any belief that there is an offer sheet coming is laughable at this point.
Man, I can't believe Dubas let it get to this point. I think he's a terrible GM.
I could not care less what Dubas said months ago regards the kids contracts. I care more that he sticks to his guns on what he knows the team can afford. With or without Willy!Can you give me another example of a GM in any sort of sport who made a comment like Dubas did, and was completely wrong? And how did the collective world react to that person? I would imagine that there weren’t a ton of people defending them in the way that Leafs fans and the media (basically Leafs propaganda central).
Like I say, if you really think there is some sort of anti-Leafs bias, on this forum or anywhere else, just imagine somebody like John Chayka royally ****ing something up in the way that Dubas has ****ed this up? There would be NO defense of him. No rationalizing of his pathetic failures. Everybody would be all over him.
Face it: rookie GM Dubas did a terrible job in this entire situation. The only reason that people are defending him here is because he is the golden boy, and the GM of the Leafs.
There's absolutely no way I'm going to let you to bait me into putting an ounce of actual work in fiddling around with your nonsensical spin.
Also, you're still speaking in past tense. That is literally a bias convincing you that the deadline already passed.
I wouldn't be commenting at all if this was Chayka because why the **** would I care? That Chayka thread would be dead because who the hell has an Anti-Coyotes bias? No one.
I thought he was Swedish not Dutch.Does Tampa not have good haircutters or is that the style there?
That would be a really weird loophole. However in this circumstance, there doesn't seem to be any information to believe that Nylander wants a trade, just a number. I'm not sure Nylander would be so concerned that Leafs might match a contract so there would be no reason to try and game the deadline like that.
Hope its a good one!I cannot honestly believe it has come down to the wire? I thought this would get done long ago....at this point I highly doubt he plays for the Leafs again....I am assuming a trade in the next few hours or so!
The translation of your first paragraph is that you made a pretty hefty assumption and can’t find any sort of proof. Otherwise you wouldn’t be responding at all.
There isn’t a bias convincing me that Nylander won’t sign; it’s really just common sense. It’s what all the signs are pointing to. It’s not a guarantee that Nylander won’t sign but it is a guarantee that dumbass Dubas ****ed up.
On your last paragraph, your victim mentality really shows. People would be talking about this no matter the team, because it is a very interesting situation. Nylander is a top-10 pick who scored over 60 points in each of his two seasons in the NHL, and might sit out an entire season. He could quite possibly be the best player not in the NHL, and he may sit out a season due to a contract dispute. Dumbass Dubas’ comments would be scrutinized as they are, even if the situation had nothing to do with Toronto. The big difference is that the entire hockey media (who is essentially to Toronto what Fox News is to Donald Trump) and the HF collective is defending dumbass Dubas for his colossal failure.
But they matched so he gets paid right?
^Believe this would be the answer. An offer sheet is a signed contract. Where the player ends up playing is another story.
Wow how much time it take for you to come up with that take?
I'm a leaf fan but can shanahan not afford a tailored suit and Dubas' watch...looks like a Diesel. I own a Diesel and I'm divorced with 3 kids making far less.Dubas right now:
I could be wrong, but I presume that the League has a rule which would prevent an offer sheet from being valid 7 days before the Dec. 1 @ 5pm deadline.
If Nylander were to sign an offer sheet now, and the Leafs took until after the deadline to decide, at that point he would become ineligible to even have that contract honored for the current year.
Divorced with three kids is better than married with four kids, amiright?I'm a leaf fan but can shanahan not afford a tailored suit and Dubas' watch...looks like a Diesel. I own a Diesel and I'm divorced with 3 kids making far less.
