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
40.So what's the bets on how many thread pages created before he signs?
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.
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?
If Michael Nylander and Gross are as money hungry as we think they are, this doesn't go past October 3.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.
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
