Meier has a poison pill of a contract incoming. So while I think in terms of on ice product the Leafs would improve, it'd be a poor decision for the salary cap
Blah blah blah...You called him soft , passive, one dimensional and poor defensively . Doesnt seem too friendly. And you doubled down w a strawman power forward argument. Leafs don't do this even Qo aside. There is a very clear talent disparity in addition to having contractual assurance w Nylander.
No I answered the Q with a question of whether or not Nylander would be a fit in SJ. I was taking a shot at Doug Wilson and his seemingly preferred type of player.You called him soft , passive, one dimensional and poor defensively . Doesnt seem too friendly. And you doubled down w a strawman power forward argument. Leafs don't do this even Qo aside. There is a very clear talent disparity in addition to having contractual assurance w Nylander.
Doug Wilson slams down his mobile while laughing maniacally and calling all his friends to rally support for blackballing Dubas. And then he adds Dubas to his blocked list on all of his apps. While laughing maniacally.
Is the QO only one year? In his best interest to negotiate a 5-7 year deal at $7shmil no? Guess depends on his play but hockey players are more likely taking the sure thing then risk playing under a short term deal (as a general rule).
Yes
The way it works is that the team two options, though one branches outwards really
They can qualify the player at his rate, in this case $10M for one season, or pass on it and player becomes a free agent. If they qualify him they can negotiate a long term deal, but at that point the player has all the leverage
yeah thats why i dont like it. if he had regular RFA status i would probably do this. but the fact we would have to pay him $10 million and worry about him walking the year after causes me to lose interest in him. just a very strange contract structure.He can also accept the QO and become UFA 1 year after that. Dream scenario for Meier.
Seems fair. Toronto gets a little more physical. San Jose gets a little more scoring. Both guys are quite skilled.Leafs would do well with a presence like Timo. Physical and plays hard every shift while being able to score 25-30 goals. Would add a lot of sandpaper to the roster.
Sharks on the other hand desperately need a playmaking forward as they have none on the roster. William could be that player for them.
How does Doug Wilson paint himself into a corner like that .Didn't they change the CBA to stop those backloaded deals leading to massive qualifying offers?
Edit: I think it only applies to contracts signed after july 10, 2020 so Meier's QO will be 10 million
Is there any other option than those two?So he turned into a power forward has he?

pass
Nylander is a better player and doesnt Meier have a $10 million qualifying offer coming up? cant wait for people to flame us for a 4th $10+ million player

I’ll give you Jones for Andersen. Hell I’ll even throw in Dubnyk for Dell!This seems to me like a trade that would be made if both players wanted out or needed a shake up or their GMs decided their team needs a shakeup. I can't speak for how San Jose is right now but I can speak for the Leafs and say if we need a shakeup it is not Willy who needs it. It would be another goalie for Anderson if anything
You guys can sign him as a UFA because we aren't likely to resign him and we need money for a few guys like Hyman and Dermott.I’ll give you Jones for Andersen. Hell I’ll even throw in Dubnyk for Dell!
But you guys need the shakeup now so we will give you Jones and you just give us Andersen!You guys can sign him as a UFA because we aren't likely to resign him and we need money for a few guys like Hyman and Dermott.
Jones is that bad eh?But you guys need the shakeup now so we will give you Jones and you just give us Andersen!
uhhh, we dont have Dell no moreI’ll give you Jones for Andersen. Hell I’ll even throw in Dubnyk for Dell!
Yeah, I am not wanting to trade Willy at this point. He is on a great contract at that.pass

Leafs pass due to a bad contract?
Nylander deal is front loaded and longer before reaching UFA status. Meir QO is awful due to being back-ended at $10M.
Players are comparable and would be a fair deal without the contract discrepancies.
