Speculation: XLIV - Nylander's Wednesday or Thursday Discussion

[GoonieFace]

Again I've Google searched flights today

One says 915pm arrive 215pm plus 1 hr. Can someone more apt at this figure out what time that would mean he would be here lol if it's an 8.5flight leaves 915 their time it would be 315 our time and he would land at 1145pm our time

This is bonkers

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Someone will see him and snap a picture at Stockholm airport. or else it will happen on the plane ride. worst case when he lands in NYC he will get found out. My guess is 6.9M for 6 years. So maybe a little less money for Marner big deal.

I don't think so. No one did that with Babcock or JT. I also wonder if its be a private jet not commercial for that reason

Lol no..just trying to gauge when we might hear the good news.

I have a student living in Stockholm. What time is Willie's flight?

 

[willmma]

According to flightaware.com there is one direct flight from Stockholm to JFK.

Norwegian Air Shuttle NAX7005 B788
On The Way! / On Time
Wed 06:05PM CET ARN
JFK 07:55PM EST Wed
Nonstop

We need eyes on JFK Terminal 1

Where is Vary's when you need him?

 

[Primary Assist]

Someone should just wear a suit to JFK and hold a sign that says "Nylander" and then when he gets into your car you can just ask him in person

The time difference is confusing. 6hr difference so if it's their time for departure is an 8.5hr flight not 1hr lol.

"My Little birds are everywhere".

In this case, we need the bathroom janitor to be on the lookout

 

[PromisedLand]

I've held off my predictions till now.

PREDICTION: Nylander signs a bridge deal on Dec. 1st that is announced 12 pm EST

Sorry man, not sure I follow. His flight left already, 6:05PM Sweden time. It will arrive 7:55pm New york time.

I guess he had an early practice in Sweden, went home, showered, hoped in a cab and went to the airport for a 6pm flight.

 

[glue]

Man this is getting intense lol...lets hope this is finally legit guys...love the team work and effort though lol..we're a bit obsessed aren't we ...in fairness, feels like this has taken excruciatingly long

 

[Clark4Ever]

Ok, I'm starting to feel optimistic now.

Man, this negotiation has been like the first fight between Apollo Creed and Rocky Balboa...

 

[PromisedLand]

just for argument sake say they agree on a 6.75x7 and structure it as follows
10
6.21
6.21
6.21
6.21
6.21
6.21
what would the cap hit be if signed Dec 1st?

6.75 x 7 = approx 47 million dollars total. Nylander forefiets around 3 million in salary this year that gets himaround 44 million.

44 million/7= approx 6.3 cap hit from years 2 to 6.

This is assuming there are no signing bonuses. As soon as Leafs offer him signing bonuses the cap relief in years 2 through 6 starts going down depending on the signing bonus

I think I agree with the bridge deal. He is than traded in the offseason.

 

[Wendelstache]

you guys are naive if you don't think he already had an agreement with management before the season started.

Nylander himself even said Dubas told him to very patient (Shilton's tweet).

This was nothing more than cap savings, probably signs Dec 1st 9AM.

 

[Carltons Cup]

There is only 1 direct flight from Stockholm to JFK this evening. It arrives at JFK at 830pm EST.

However, there are at least 5-6 flights arriving at JFK from London after 7pm. If this is true, Willie is probably catching a connecting flight from Stockholm - Heathrow - JFK. Does anyone have contacts to the Leafs travel agency to confirm ? Better yet, does anyone know any TSA employees to verify checked passengers?

Do we have an eyes on the ground in NY who would be willing to hang out at the international terminal and hold up a sign that says "Nylander shuttle to Gross' office? I'll buy you dinner.

 

[romelson]

Just a little south of Iceland right now. Flightradar24.com - Live flight tracker!

 

[PromisedLand]

He could have been traded now but don't think any teams that would want willy would be able to afford his first year cap hit this season.

may be they trade him in the offseason depending on how the deals workout with mitch and matthews; and how things go for kappy/johnsson/sparks (other RFAs).

to be seen I guess

 

[HomerJLeafs]

Lol. Im loving that we are checking out flights again. JT Babcock William Nylander.

 

[Christ]

Jesus Christ, this is going to go the distance, isn't it.

Looks like it.

 

[PromisedLand]

Eight and a half hours flight time between Stockholm and JFK.

so a million an hour eh?

is that why the ask was 8.5M AAV?
