Player Discussion Nylander After the Contract

[34]

You said you're done with the Leafs, so get lost.

Post-Game Talk: - Leafs Blow Another Lead, Lose to Avs

From everything we've seen, Tavares is not really a leader whatsoever. He's like a respectable citizen who is bestowed certain honours, but I think he would be way more comfortable as an assistant. Just compare and contrast him and Ryan O'Reilly in his short time here. How one speaks, the energy...

Is Nylander now considered ‘greedy’ like the others?

Well he already was before so 100%
He held out last time
He hasn’t out produced 16 yet nor play defensive role that much like 16 yet he’s already making more then 16 lol

9.5-10 was the right amount.

He's overpaid by 1.5-2 million per year.

Bad luck for the Leafs that they collected multiple stars that have the same mindset. The only guy who doesn't is Rielly.

I dont see an option of me being OK with the deal

OP doesn't have the space in his brain to allow that type of thinking from other people.

Tells you all you need to know.

Do they hang out in Muskoka by any chance?

It's up to the GM to balance this shit out. These guys aren't going into the GM's office like "I will take a pay cut to stay a Leaf"

 

[Maplebeasts]

No option for the contract is ok? Wants to tell everyone he's already disappeared after only a couple of games post contract? Yeah OP is a hack with an agenda. Get lost.

Rielly did.

Other superstars around the league do.

There's a reason Toronto has 4 of the 11 highest-paid players in the game right now and it's not because they're that good.

I wouldn’t lump Tavares in there. His context matters - the other 3…

 

[Gary Nylund]

First half of the season Nylander is worth around 10-10.5 so about a mill. Lately it seems like Bert and JT are holding him back he doesn't have the same sizzle as 2023.

+1

Another hate thread.
Grow up!

LOL.

11+ is an option, doesn't that fit?

Yup.

The new big bad boss of everything is on vacation right now. When he gets back word is he's doing some major management re-arrangement.

I should walk right up to him and express my desire to stay with the "team" and take a pay cut if that's what it takes to stay with this team even though the grass may be greener elsewhere.................

Come on......no one is doing that in the real world?

Rielly should be and always should have been wearing the C.

 

[Drytoast]

3 games! No points!

IS ANYONE SURPRISED?!

WILLY STYLES! 11.5 mil 8 years starting next year!

Does Morgan side eye Darnell Nurse? "WTF?"

Enjoy it, he might have 1-2 season of sniffing PPG at most after this one. Will easily be one of the worst contracts in the league by year 8.

 

[Stephen]

Gotta say, Willie is letting me down here big time. Give him $92 million dollars and he turns into his 2019 self over night. Not cool.

Nylander fleeced the MLSE. He is a $7M player at best. Bottom 6 winger.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

It’s already garbage. Man hasn’t scored a goal since he put pen to paper. Guaranteed if he was still unsigned he’d have potted 3-4 this past week and his demands would be $12 million instead.

The way Nylander's spectacular season just abruptly got put on pause after that San Jose celebration 3 pointer is pretty disappointing. Instead of stepping up, continuing, asserting himself this weekend, he just turned into foot off the gas Willie. Not pleased.

Yup 100%.

$11.5M lazy floater

 

[thewave]

9-10 was what i put without thought. Looks like most agree.

I think Nylander can certainly be a PPG guy through most of his contract. Don't see why he couldn't with the talent he has. The only thing is that PPG shouldn't be worth 11.5 million. That should be reserved for players who put up at or near 100+ points a year and/or are good all around players.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Note to future GMs don't sign a player to a bit contract after vs the worst team in the league (and maybe do it in the offseason prior..)

 

[3blizzard4]

Willy not getting it done while getting the opposing team's second pairing D? Not good William.

Tells you all you need to know.

or you don’t have the space in your brain to know he is not worth anything close to that. Don’t throw insults out and not expect to get it right back. Knock it off.

What option should I knock off?

If you want an honest answer, you should make a poll that actually allows people to answer honestly.

You felt the need to put in an option for "Nothing, he should have been traded"

That's an option.

Another option that you omitted is "he was paid fairly"

However you feel about him and how much money he is being paid. You left that out. I didn't make the poll, you did.

I added that to the poll. I did not honestly think anyone was in agreement with that AAV. It was not a shot at anyone. Anyway, it is now an option.
