Proposal: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Lots of Balls.

[nabob]

Can you read 7M for Nylander which is what he got. Marner will be 10.5M and Id pay him that no problem.

You clearly say you’re advocating for signing Marner instead of Nyquist and are comparing signing Marner vs Nyquist. Why would you compare the contracts of signing Nylander right now when he is already signed and isn’t a possibility???

So now we have 30M invested in three forwards...and a massive hole on defense. So you’re going to rush Samrukov into the 2nd pairing?

Did I walk into the last Rumours thread? Seems like the same never ending conversation.

Any new actual rumours?

 

[Soundwave]

Marner will want 11 per IMO. He is not taking 1+ million less than Matthews after outscoring him.

Clearly not.

 

[Paralyzer008]

At the end of Oilers Now yesterday, Stauffer said he had time for Markus Granlund and said Brian Boyle to Oilers isn't really that serious.

I don't know. I haven't been able to sort through all the Nurse proposals and bitching that Holland hasn't turned over the roster yet.

We need another thread for rumours only. @McDNicks17 @Soli @Bryanbryoil, please?

I think you're right 11 is right on the money for him. His camp will take the Leafs for what he's worth, especially after the whole Nylander saga. I won't be shocked to see him walk away at 11.5 even.

 

[LMFAO]

At this point you can only pray Holland has a masterplan to acquire Gusev... I don't see any realistic options out there to make this team a playoff team again.

Read the post I was responding to. We were talking about Nyquist and Nylander

No, besides maybe a Sekera buyout.

He outscored Matthews, Tavares, and Eichel last year, he earned 11 per.

Has always been there.

On the Leafs I think he gets that. On the Oilers I dont think he can come in here and demand 1M less then Mcdavid. I think if he comes in here he has to take a a salary somewhere close to the middle of Mcdavid and Drasaitl. So 9.5-10.5M range. If were trading for him I think a deals in place before we pull the trigger so it shouldnt be an issue.

Edit: How can anyone not like the looks of this top 6 if its signed for the next 7 years? 7 years gives us a bunch of time to figure things out on the defence.

RNH-Mcdavid-?
?-Draisaitl-Marner

He gets his 11m anywhere. His agent isn't a dummy.

Eichel got 10.5 three years ago on a lower cap and Marner has outscored him each of the last 2 years.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Rumour: Oiler fans feel team will miss playoffs this year and that's okay.

Even at 11M I think we can make it work with what were spending on the D in 3 years.

It would be tough, I doubt Toronto lets him go anyway, they are going to pay him what he wants and move out other pieces.

PK Subban is who they should've moved on this summer IMO. 9 per x 3 years is manageable if you dump Russell.

They dont really have any other pieces they can move now that they signed Kapanen and Johnsson. Nylander and maybe Zaitsev. But even if they move Zaitsev they still need to replace him. They cant have all 3 of Matthews, Marner, and Tavares on long term 11M+ deals.

They can. It just likely means Nylander is not in the long term plans there.

And if thats the case I think we should be in on him. I take a 23 year old 60+ point winger/center signed long term, in comparison to any of the UFA's we might be in on.

RNH-Mcdavid-Kassian
Benson-Draisaitl-Nylander

Looks like a nice top 6 for the next 5 years if we can re-sign RNH

 

[McTedi]

They can. It just likely means Nylander is not in the long term plans there.

But he got that verbal "I'll never trade you" guarantee not wrote into his contract.

Either way if Nylander or Marner are on the move we should be in on them. They fit the team and core perfectly.

 

[Soundwave]

The other issue for the Leafs likely preferring Larsson is Nurse wanting a raise in a year just puts them in the same bind they're in now, so it doesn't really address much.

Larsson is under a cost controlled contract for a couple more years and will be cheaper to resign.

Can not afford Marner, it will never happen.

Id move Larsson for Nylander or Marner if that's what it costs. But I think theyd prefer Nurse with Zaitsev and Muzzin on the right side
