William Nylander Part XIII

[Eb]

the OP removed it because people are sensitive.

the fact of the matter is - the team's objective is to show that we do not need Nylander. thus removing all leverage from his camp.
there are some people who believe we don't need him and we should trade him to improve the team. that's been pretty much a common opinion for a LOT of people.
if people want to get worked up on that, then whatever. but the title was not childish or embarrassing. it was clearly meant as tongue in cheek, and if happens to coincide with what some people believe, okay - but who cares?

You say it was clearly meant as tongue cheek but then also agree that people actually believe that???? How is one supposed to decipher between those and how is that clear?? Lol come on. Such a stupid agrument nonetheless. Leave subjective thoughts out of the title, especially stupid ones.

 

[Morbo]

And that's a good thing, regardless of your stance on Willy.

Just get that $6.5x7 contract done and put him with Kadri, and we'll never stop scoring.

he has to decide if he wants to be a Leaf or not, basically. Because there's no chance of getting 8+ right now from Toronto. Zero.

 

[Peiskos]

Yep especially now that with each passing game the offence looks more than capable of averaging 4+ goals a game without him.

so basically. then. we should just have titles like

"insert name here." and call it a day. every title is subjective.

No, lol.

All of the other threads left out any opinions in the title.

TBH I think it's a bit unreasonable to expect Tavares and Matthews to score every game. Nylander would be a big boost to to the stability of the offense and, at the very least, add some amazing depth that can help boost Kadri's line.

 

[TMLS]

Kapanen took over his role with Matthews. Just trade this greedy f for a top pairing D man that we need instead.

 

[Antropovsky]

This has to be hard for Nylander to watch.... losing money every game, your teammates stats are blowing up, and the easy points won't last forever. The more games that are played, the harder it will be to get points.

 

[Critical13]

I feel feel I am opening up to a trade more and more each game.

 

[KyleSeaBass]

He is a luxury player at this point. We shouldn't trade him for scraps like Edmonton did with Hall, but if a good trade presents itself with a stud D-man coming back, then we should be all over it.

 

[Kiwi]

Sure it would. If we weren’t scoring, there would be more talk that we need him.

Talk sure, but I doubt management would give a rats ass

It's a 6-7 year deal we're talking here so the team struggling for 10-20 games and making decisions based on that would be insane

I am not usually the voice of reason ... but we need to keep Nylander and trade Kappy for a D-Man.

 

[Nithoniniel]

I don't think they're aiming for 8. I think they are aiming for 7, and think playing hardball is the way to get there.

I think that's something everybody would consider. Stud d-men don't become available as a general rule though. There's been one in the last half decade, two depending on how you view Hamilton.

A Willy trade should be done because it's right, as you allude to here. It shouldn't be done at a loss to address a need that could be better fixed in another way. It also shouldn't be done because the team had an offensively hot four games to start the season.

 

[lovemyleafs]

Whenever Nylander does sign with us, I think he'd be better off with Kadri.

 

[Faltorvo]

wee willi melander who?

like i said ,,we don't "need" him

and now his slot on mattys line is long long gone

kappy is bossing out on that line

 

[Atrusai]

Yep especially now that with each passing game the offence looks more than capable of averaging 7+ goals a game without him.

Fixed

 

[Leafs at Knight]

As much as I want Marleau on the 3rd line, the best thing would be Nylander with Kadri to spark that line.

Hurry up Willy, you got no leverage my man

 

[WTFMAN99]

I want to see a 10 game segment with Kapanen and Matthews, if Kapanen is a top 6 RW, and Marner is a top 6 RW, do we need another?

Seems to me at that point you can trade one.

 

[DavePoulin4PM]

Kapanen is skilled and has everything Nylander lacks. High motor, goes to tough areas, wins battles, plays with an edge, kills penalties.

Nylander is a floater and “me first” player. Always has been always will be.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Honestly its simple. If you want to play for this team, here is the offer at 6.5 for 7.

Deadine set for the end of the week. If not then offer is pulled and we will look to trade you.

Kapanen - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Leivo
Johnsson - Gauthier/Lindholm - Brown

Honestly, I like Gauthier. Solid player and good on faceoff dot. Plus he has size.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nylander cap hit going lower and lower with each Leaf goal. Lol.

 

[Voodoo Child]

The offense is straight fire.

I'm not expecting 7 goals every game but they could put up 290+ GF.

It looks to me like every day Willy isn't on the team, it's more and more likely he gets shipped.

He wants to play hardball, let's show him how hard we ball.

'I play for the Devils/Canes' doesn't carry nearly as much cache with the ladies as 'I play for the Leafs' does, no disrespect intended but its just true.

At this point Nylander can sit until the last week of November. We will give him a little more money, but less cap hit in subsequent years.

Your allowed to put one of them on the LW or alternatively get somebody on the Kadri line to try to sort that out and have 3 dangerous lines like Pittsburgh did with Kessel

 

[TorMapleJays]

Timing and circumstance is everything. Feel bad for Nylander, this team is an offensive juggernaut. Zero leverage.

4.25x7?
