I think his contract is structured in a way that he is paid a lot of money by mid summer. Would make the contract more attractive from a fiscal sense, though not cap wise. Agree that he is a risk, but if he is scoring 65-75 points as player in his early 20's, then he's not available, and with the recent escalation is salaries, sure as hell not for under 7M.

Exactly. Of course we want to see him prove it. But if he proves it, he'll cost way too much.

To be clear, I'm not advocating for Nylander, just saying you have to take a risk eventually.

I don’t know if it’s so much a recent escalation in salaries, or just Dubas overpaying his RFAs.

And it’s fine with me if he’s not available, let Toronto rot in their cap hell.

while we rot in the central basement?

I promise you the difference between Nylander and what we give up to get him is not the difference between where we are and the Cup

Good draft picks down there.

Good draft picks down there.

Plus Nylanders on ice character /60 is very low

 

[Digitalbooya]

You guys watched the playoff series and still want Nylander? He's so soft, weak on the puck, a pushover, etc.

That's a win for min no matter how you slice it

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Toronto says no.

Nylander ~ 12th overall
Kadri >> Zucker + Rask

Value wise it may be a win for Minnesota but I wouldn’t do it

How could anyone say no to this for Minnesota? Get off your high horses.

One could be very worried that the current Nylander is the one that we'd see going forward, not the one from the prior 2 years.

One could also really, really, really dislike Kadri.

Then just flip Nylander and Kadri for much better assets than Zucker, Rask, and 12

Getting rid of Rask without having to buy him out?

YES PLEASE.

 

[keppel146]

I’ll never cheer for Kadri.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

I think that’s an easy “no” from Toronto.

Easy no from Tor. It only saves then ~$2m in cap and makes them a worse team next year.

i shake my head at all the hate for zucker , exactly how many wild players have scored 30G? yet most want to trade him & hes only making 5.5 mill??? pfffft!

how many 40 goal scorers do we have and yet staal needs to be traded?? ppfffftt... zucker had 1 good year. he is not a bargain.

The argument would make sense if Zucker scored even close to 30 this past year. He's tradable because of two things: 1) the abundance of LW on the roster 2) his high cap hit.

 

[P10p]

Zucker had to catch magic in a bottle to score 30 with MiG. Hes not getting 30 here again imo.

Found Kaprizov's center.

The general manager was asked specifically if Evgeni Malkin, 32, is part of the team’s long-term plans.

“I’m not at the point where I’m making any decision on that at this point,” he explained. “I just can’t answer that kind of question right now.”

Why?

“There are a lot of things to sort through right now,” he said.

 

[DeagleJenkins]

at 32, what would it cost to acquire him even?

 

[Bazeek]

I'm just being facetious. He'd have to waive to come here and I have no idea what the Penguins would even want. If he was traded it'd probably be for less than everyone assumes, though.
