are you okay ? you seem to have a lot of pent up angerWell why haven’t all these teams made a trade with the leafs or tendered an offer sheet. Maybe all these teams realize nylander isn’t worth the amount he is looking for either in a trade or said offer sheet. If it isn’t a problem as you say where is the contract with the new teams.
they don't get him for freethere's been many reports teams have called and asked about his availability and since they can and probably did speak to his agent before they called Dubas it doesn't seem like it would be a problem for many teams to agree on a contract with him
I have to hand it to Willy - he has giant set of steel balls.
I know you didn't say that, but I did. What I am saying is that I agree with you about the fitness thing and that Austria is a nothingburger.

i never mentioned an offer sheet so why bring that up ?
it's been reported by many insiders (take that for what it worth) teams have called to see if he's available and if that's true why is it so hard to believe they wouldn't have spoken with Willie's agent first and deemed his ask to be palatable ? and maybe as Dubas has said multiple times he isn't looking to trade Willie and that's why he hasn't been dealt or maybe he wants a higher value even though it doesn't seem he values him enough to pay what he's asking for or simply can't afford to0 , why is this so hard for you to believe ?
this obsession our board has with defending every action there sacred cow GM's dois unbelievable , first it was Burke and now it's Dubas
Then, the Leafs dressing room must be IKEA.true lol - then followed by player coach
do you think its possible Willie can be a 90 point player 6 out of the next 8 years?You've got to wonder about the brains part though, if you don't want to be shipped out of town I can't think of any better way you could make that happen than this
If those Labrun comments are true it sounds like they are too far apart, unwilling to budge and Nylanders camp is passive aggressively forcing a trade.
Problem is who could we get for an unsigned RFA that has put up his numbers? Is a sign and trade even possible with anyone.
More likely he sits a year, I don't think we could recoup his value in a trade right now.

That would Sweden the dealThen, the Leafs dressing room must be IKEA.
you dont get it ... carry onWhat does that matter? He's a 60 point RFA winger and should be paid in line with his comparables not on something none of us can predict
I'm glad all 4 league executives think the Leafs are doing the right thing. What I love is the quote from one league exec "Lots of people are blaming the agent, the father. The kid is 22. He should be able to figure it out".Notable quotes:
“William Nylander is not worth what William Nylander thinks he’s worth,” said an executive from the Western Conference.
“The Leafs are right,” said an Eastern Conference executive. “There is no way any team in the NHL is going to pay Nylander $8 million.”
“At $6.5 million, I don’t think he’d be underpaid,” said the second executive from the East.
What Willy is asking is common knowledge because Willy is allowed to speak to other teams.
I think you need to apologize to the forum. It seems you are the one who defends all of Willy's actions
William Nylander’s bargaining power with Leafs on thin ice, rival executives say | The Star
As a Swede I can't help feeling embarrased by the way he acts.
He has the chance to play for a true top team in the league and winning the cup, a chance few players actually get during their carreers. Instead of taking that chance he argues over $1-2 millions... What ****ing difference does it make? He'll make enough money to live a life few others can anyway.
I do believe most players, who's not a complete ******, would rather take a cut and win the cup than some extra cash.
Trade him, he is obviously stupid.
you dont get it ... carry on

Yes, Willy....You are 22. Figure it out FFS
What you wrote was completely pointless, nobody sane is paying Nylander like a 90 point player as an RFA until he actually does it, and no I don't think he hits 90 points 6 of 8 years, I'd have doubts he hits it once
