The Nylander Chronicles Part XI - Electric Boogaloo

[LMFAO]

What would you guys think about a deal around Domi and Nylander ? Nylander is obviously the better player but Domi is more cost controled and he would had some much needed sandpapper to the leafs.

 

[Daisy Jane]

You just don't get it do you? This strategy is doomed to fail. They have no leverage. There is no team that is going to present a 8 x 7 offer sheet because he ain't worth that, money wise or draft pick wise. And don't give me this crap about a team screwing the Leafs with some kind of nudge nudge wink wink offer. The NHL would be all over that.

exactly.

I don't think it's on the radar unless the Habs are adding a lot.

Yeah Willy cuz 36-39 mill by the time you’re 28 isn’t taking care of yourself. Don’t budge Dubas!

That's fine, so you get him signed to a short-term bridge deal based off of current player comparables, and then in a few years when he is putting up +80 points riding shotgun with Matthews you pay him his $8-9 mil he wants.

There is your solution to bridge the gap when one side is offering 6-6.5 mil and the other wants near $8 mil per. A bridge deal seems to be the only logical outcome barring one side caving to their demands.

This is without doubt one of the dumbest arguments you can make, did you watch the Matthews line last night?

It got feed it's lunch by a line centered by Max ******* Domi, Matthew's isn't God and thats what he's going to have to be to carry those other two passengers

Do you even know what my argument is?

I didn't say Nylander wouldn't make us better... I said we don't NEED him... and that its a luxery player to have...

I love how you use ONE game (first of the season) to justify your rant...

 

[MyBudJT]

Yeah that's going way too far. Watching Ennis on that line isn't hurting Nylander either.

We're a playoff team without Nylander... we don't NEED him...

I'm not saying he won't make us better... How am I going 'way too far' with that statement? Or perhaps you're reading beyond what I'm saying and making assumptions?

That's what I've been in favour of the whole time. However his antics lately are making me rethink that.

Trade him.

Please everyone. Take a look at Micheal Nylander's checkered hockey past. He drained 35 million out of this industry and he was a flake. I saw him live, he didn't give a bake or a shake.

35 million for floating around and doing basically just above average ****. The guy knows how to drain the bucket out of big business...

I think Dubas and Shanahan are going to try and hurt this family a lot. But all of y'all better bring up Micheal Nylander on hockey db. Guy drained the big guys big time. He ain't scared of the big bad bear NHL.

I called this and I called the team loving Sandin. Both huge great calls. This call though, I wish I didn't have to deliver it.

Micheal Nylander was incesced at how bad a coach Boobock is, and I hate to say this, I agree with Micheal Nylander. The Boob is the Boob. Just a horrible 2018 coach.

Michael Nylander played 920 nhl games I’m sorry someone as bad as you are describing doesn’t play as long as he did. Also scoring 0.73 ppg for his career that’s William and Mitch marner level numbers right now

Leafs aren't trying to be a playoff team, so even if your assumption is true, who cares? Leafs are trying to be cup contenders, and they are not at that level without Nylander

 

[FrozenJagrt]

If Dreger is right and Nylander won't budge at all from his 8+ ask, I would hope his bags are already packed because that's crazy talk and he's completely expendable.

 

[Rubi]

Whats funny is that we don't even need this player... he's a luxery player for us...

Exactly right!!!
However, the Leafs do need to upgrade their defense in order to a legitimate SC contender (I'm not saying playoff contender... I'm saying Stanley Cup contender). Trade him for an upgrade defenseman. Trust me you won't miss Nylander if he's gone. A better defense will make a much bigger impact to your season and playoff hopes.

 

[MyBudJT]

I don't think Nylander alone brings us to another tier... we'd be better... no doubt... but I think this is overstating things.

As far as Nylander the asset... We will have that asset come playoff time... Whether its Nylander himself, or player(s) we receive from a trade between now and Dec 1st.

Shout out to the thread title, again. Feels like we're in for the long haul here, hope I'm wrong though.

I think the Leafs try their best to hang up the phone before Montreal hears them laughing.

 

[Walshy7]

I hope we find a way to trade Nylander soon. Matthews says he wants more assists anyway and I haven't seen much of a scoring touch from Nylander.

Yeah trade nylander now. Ennis will score more goals for sure, no way a player who was bought out could do anything but score 25+ goals. And are we now trading nylander for a winger for matthews? All I see is top4 d, top 4 d are they going to help with Matthews assists?.

Matthews assist totals won’t go up if we trade nylander

 

[crump]

Marty: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel: (pause) These threads go to eleven.

What would you guys think about a deal around Domi and Nylander ? Nylander is obviously the better player but Domi is more cost controled and he would had some much needed sandpapper to the leafs.

Nylander scored 60 points twice, both times playing with Austin Matthews. I think Domi could score that many playing with Matthews or Tavares - probably even playing with Kadri.

Both are young. It's hard to project their future point totals as I don't know their games that well. I suspect Domi, being a talented playmaker who plays hard every shift would put up a lot of points playing with players who can finish.

What do you project Nylander to be?

I think you should stop sniffing glue. Even with a 1st we lose massively on this deal. Domi doesn’t have a lot of grit, sucker punching people does not = grit

 

[Walshy7]

After 11 threads we have jumped the shark. Trade him for max f***ing domi because of grit while we are at it give Colton Orr a call let’s get him out of retirement. Jeezus downgrade significantly to add a massive piece of shit to the team I just can’t even understand.

Nylander thread 12:

Would you guys trade nylander for Tyler Biggs? Sure he is not as talented but what about them gritzzzz

 

[socko]

Yeah trade nylander now. Ennis will score more goals for sure, no way a player who was bought out could do anything but score 25+ goals. And are we now trading nylander for a winger for matthews? All I see is top4 d, top 4 d are they going to help with Matthews assists?.

Matthews assist totals won’t go up if we trade nylander

It won't go down either.

 

[Puckstuff]

6.66 x 6 = 40 million. Calling it now; signed before Saturday.

Nylander saves face; looks good.

Leafs get pretty fair value for the most part.

Nylander is happy.

6 years is our window; with potential to bring him in for longer.

Nylander is set up for a nice contract at 28.

 

[Rubi]

Oiler fans are wondering if the Leafs would trade Nylander for Ty Rattie (7 goals-3 assists in 3 preseason games)?

 

[Kiwi]

teams will pay if nylanders available, he wont get 8 im sure there are teams fine with willy at 7-7.5, but we arent.

So teams will pay for a holdout RFA that wants to be overpaid? Who's lining up for this **** show?, especially since the team that just traded for him has to sign him straight away or look like complete morons

So it's agreed. Willie will sit out the year then.

Bridge him, then trade him next off-season

If he sits out the entire year it's bad for us to, his value tanks and he's not on the team helping us win games this season

 

[rumman]

If you grossly overpay Willie, how much will you have to overpay Austin and Mitch?
