Speculation: XLIV - Nylander's Wednesday or Thursday Discussion

[Nineteen67]

What thread number is this?

Anytime I see letters configured in this manner I get the urge to drink beer, eat fried finger foods and look for funny new commercials on TV.

 

[AuraSphere]

The fact that he's still in Stockholm is scary

 

[willmma]

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

Willy's golden locks are making the whole plane shine on that tracker.

Come home WILLY!

 

[glue]

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

We're a passionate (whisper*obsessive*) fanbase

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.

This literally makes no sense considering the time frame were in.

 

[Carltons Cup]

I think that is misinformation. Even when Willy was practicing in Austria he had his leafs gear on

He probably didn't have enough money to buy his own gear...

 

[ULF_55]

Proof ? I thought the MOD post said proof of info

It was quoted in the last thread ... you can still browse the previous thread.

What makes no sense???
Maximizing every cap dollar makes sense when they have Marner and Matthews up ....

 

[rumman]

sounds like a typical Dubas response since he managed to say process a number of times

man your hate for Dubas is undeniable.

Need about 8 mil?

 

[BlueForever75]

Always with white helmet but never in full socks, pants and helmet!!!! Maybe that's what he had packed for his flight!

As many have said in the past, and Dubas recently stated in a management meeting, there is no cap benefit in waiting that they can’t achieve signing him today.

so what you are saying is that Dubas met with Willy in Zurich to hand him cash to be stashed in swiss banks with no way of tracking by the NHL; for the money he is supposed to have forfeit because of signing Dec. 1st + other dollars he would have to forego because of matthews/marner contracts

i can seriously see that happening

Maybe he's not as selfish as some make us to believe and took one for the team, losing 3M

 

[Deadly Dogma]

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

What if they only offer the bonus in the 2 yrs that can be affected by the strike/lock out

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Why wouldn’t he just sign that $3m cheaper contract before the season?

Waiting until Saturday is literally pointless at this time. What are we saving? 5k? Get real, if there was an agreement in place the deal would be done, and Nylander would be signed.

 

[TDK67]

Hes reporting 6.85 x 6. Let's see

I "reported" that too in the last thread...by using logic to guess that's where they'd end up based on Friedman's and Johnston's articles.

This guy also retweeted a rumor that PHI & TOR had "a deal in place" of Giroux++ for Nylander+ that got nixed at the last second by PHI ownership.

Sounds like a hack to me...

 

[PromisedLand]

am not too sure how the semantics work then;

that said there is a rule in CBA that the salary paid (not cap) from one year to the next has to follow two rules:

1. salary change from one year to the next cannot be more than +/- 35% in variation
2. salary in any year cannot be less than 50% of salary paid in a given year

 

[taurine330]

Who ?

 

[jaric1862]

I think it'll be 6 years 41 million, 650k as base salary,the rest as signing bonus.

but i want it to be true so much...

For calculating how much Nylander loses/cap reduction, only thing that matters is Nylanders base salary.

For the cap variability rules, it includes signing bonus. And I think it’s 30%
