So what's the bets on how many thread pages created before he signs?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

We're going to have more Nylander contract threads than Star Wars movies soon.

 

[egd27]

We have the leverage in this contract situation, if we're not trying to screw him down and lower that AAV as low as possible we're doing it wrong

I'd expect any team in this situation to do exactly the same thing, that some teams don't is beyond my comprehension

I guess we have a different definition of the word. I think of it as using the leverage to the point of being unfair or unreasonable.

I'm not convinced the Leafs are doing that, but that's just my opinion.

 

[Mitchy]

Nylander will be signed to a team friendly contract.

RFAs that have gone this far without signing usually cave in and sign for closer to the team's asking price.

 

[Once]

Cmon Willy you know you want to be here every minute of this special year.

What's your definition of "unfair" or "unreasonable"

If the cap increases like it did this season and you try to make Nylander take a 6M × 7 Ehlers type contract are you being unfair and unreasonable? That's his direct comparable and I'd say that would be screwing him because of the cap increase but some wouldn't

Ehlers contract kicks in this season under the same cap amount as Nylander's contract would.

If that's the comparable you want to use, then no he is not being screwed, it's a reasonable offer IMO.

No its not

Those contracts were signed under completely different salary cap situations, cap goes up so does the AAV as a % of the cap

Answer these 2 questions please

When does Ehlers' contract commence?
When would Nylander's contract commence?

 

[2 Slick]

I don't think a contract gets done at all until mid-November. Just feel that way for some reason. This is gonna drag on and on and on.

[Mikeyg]

Keep him out, he ain’t signing. He can enjoy all of his millions down in arizona, and flaunt it infront of all seven of their fans, 1 mill each.

Answer me this, what was the salary cap when both those players will sign their particular deals?

It's called inflation, look it up
Higher cap, higher AAV as a % of the cap

If Michael Nylander and Gross are as money hungry as we think they are, this doesn't go past October 3.

Poor Willy is stuck listening to these idiots who are ruining his career. He deserves to be playing with his buddies right now.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

2 options:

5 x 3 y
6 x 6 y

take it or leave it.

 

[Ulysses31]

As a DRW fan I would considering offering Nyquist (short term replacement) and Zadina (long term replacement who would need to cook in the marlies for a year or 2)

Leafs get some serious RW fire power.

Wings get 2c to play behind larkin

The thing is when these players sign the contract, inflation and higher Cap were already considered.

Honestly, maybe Willie is asking for 6.5mil but Dubas is holding firm at 5.5mil. Instead of the 8mil and 6mil being reported.
There are just too much that we don’t know at this moment. I am sure both sides have their stats and reasons, like you play with Matthews, or Willie didn’t get enough PP time.....
At the end of the day, Willie will most likely be sign , might be a 5-6yrs deal.

& Nyquist reunited with his father

Franzen: With sheets, Nyquist can dream of Babcock

Perhaps you should look up inflation as it pertains to economics as it might not mean what you think it does.

The Leafs have no more money to spend than the Jets this season but you believe Nylander should get a higher % of the 2018 -2019 cap than the player who you feel is his best comparable. I do not.

You're gonna base it on the time of signing and I'm going to base on the commencement of the contract, so I guess we're at an impasse. We have a difference of opinion and I guess that's that

Lol no way no this gets close to November. I think it'll be done in the next 2 weeks.

 

[wc17]

Willy just has very little leverage. What’s he going to do? Sit out? Not gonna happen.

He knows he needs to sign a long term contract right now...a bridge deal wouldn’t help him at all imo considering he’s not gonna get the big time PP minutes he’ll need to score the 75-80 he’ll need to cash in when the bridge deal ends.

I don’t see Dubas bending on this one...tick tock indeed.

 

[Schenn]

What do we want?! Will Nye signed! When do we want it?! When it makes sense for the Leafs!
