Who wants to avatar bet? I’m betting Willy signs in Toronto in the next 4 hours and 6 minutes. Anyone? Put your avatar where your mouth is!
Nah, he's going to sit. I think it's written in stone at this point.

Oh hell no, I don't think anyone in the SEL makes even close to a million a year.If worst comes to worst, I think he'd do better monetarily in the SEL over the KHL.
Radulov was a high profile Russian star, and one of the best in the KHL, during a time when the league wasn't in the financial mess that it is now. That rumoured contract was used entirely for NHL negotiations, and would have never been signed, and/or never paid out in full.
The league is a financial mess, it's losing teams, it's rigged for 2 teams that can afford to pay players that I'm pretty sure Nylander couldn't even join. Nylander would be risking not only his happiness, success and development, but also his financial security, especially if he gets injured.
The only players who make even remotely close to half of what Nylander would make in the NHL, are legendary Russian stars, and the league has only gone downhill from then.
There is also less than half of the KHL season left to go, so any amount he would make is already more than cut in half.
The KHL is not a real option.
I would be shocked if they havent offered Nylander 6,5+ million for 6 years.Um... wouldn't this had been over a long time ago if Dubas was willing to offer that?
Yes, there was one player that made over 5 million a couple years ago, and the value of that contract is now below 5 million with the exchange rate where it is.Top Khl players can make significantly more then a million, Nylander would become likely top or top three paid guys in the khl. Payrolls can be found online, last time I looked top guy was paid about 5 million us. Nylander would make less then the nhl true, but not even close to a million
Would you be willing to put up your entire account on HFBoards?
No, I wouldn’t. I feel to claim anyone stating they’re 100% sure of how this will turn out is foolish.Pffft this account is worthless. Would you be willing to put your account on the line? I’ll do that bet right now, lets go.
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.
All speculative. Rumours are just that.It shouldn't have been difficult. These responses were to posts that didn't get the basic math behind the cap space the Leafs had. If Nylander doesn't sign, it's because he's not being a rational actor, and that's hard to predict.
If Nylander is willing to sign fair value between 6.5-7M to start, this would have been done a while ago. If the rumour is true, and he actually expected 8.5, and refused to budget from that for a while, then it's an extenuating circumstance.
Lol wut?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.

Not sure why you think there are no taxes in Russia...it is *entirely* tax-free.
No, I wouldn’t. I feel to claim anyone stating they’re 100% sure of how this will turn out is foolish.
Can confirm Nylander will not play this season. See you all at 5
