Player Discussion Nylander After the Contract

[rumman]

I want to know if the ink has dried on that, yet another, egregious overpay. Talk about the team buying at the top of Willy's market. I dread the Marner negotiation. Seeing how the team played last night without Mitch, I would seriously consider letting him walk and get our salary cap back under control.

if there's going to be any hope of fixing this team they need to either trade 16 or let him walk, ditto for 91. That money is needed to be fairy spread throughout the roster..........

Um, no. You don't get a player like Nylander to sign with Toronto for 11 mil, but luckily we didn't have to go too far over that line to get it done.

he'll never live up to this contract, Shanahan and Tre are completely Pejorative Slured allowing this to happen..........

Look on the bright side, a few years from now, we might say that Nylander's contract actually looks pretty good ... when compared to Marner's contract.

It was one game. Those guys can play that way with Mitch in the lineup too.

1 game against a team that played like garbage to.

Even today, compared to Marner's and Tavares' current contracts, it looks pretty good. Compared to similar players on other teams, not so much.

BT failed to divorce himself from the pay schemes established by Dubas and Shanahan. Shanahan essentially assured them(Newskoka) supposedly that they would remain together... With Keefe i presume.

BT is a handcuffed GM essentially.

Doesn't Leon play with marner in the Muskokas?

Maybe just move him into the Tavares vacancy in 2025-2026 season?

Grebenkin-Matthews-marner
Cowan-Leon-Nylander

I think Nylander and Leon could work.

Maybe BT hitched his wagon to Willy and Matthews. Highly doubt that is the case.

Even if Tavares comea back at 5, and Mitch gets 12, they are in the same boat as today.

Easy way to shut all of us up about this would be to just win the Cup

Is this the 1st time this year that Nylander dropped out of the Team scoring lead?

Should be an interesting race to the finish.

What a rat - padding his stats with short handed goals instead of doing it the right way with empty net ones.

Matty with his hattricks had the early lead, but it's been a while.

Keeping JT away from Willy should help keep it close.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Nylander still in the top 10 scorers, so much for the talk of him disappearing as soon as the contract was signed. Good stuff Willy!

It would be great if Nylander can keep it up but I expect Marner to pass him by the end of the season.

I would never have guessed that William has had more GWG’s than Mathews. Go William Go

Yeah other than the plus/minus, he's having a fantastic year.

I saw it then. Then I got a message It timed out, then I got it back again. It is strange, lol!

Entirely possible, especially with Matty and Mitch together, and Willy by himself.

GWGs are to an extent random. The goal that is one more than the other team got. In baseball it's the run that gives you a lead you never relinquish.

A prefect example of the difference is the 2-1 win in the playoffs. Willy scored, then Mitch, then a Florida player scored late.

Mitch got the GWG. If the Panther hadn't scored, Willy would have it. In baseball, Willy would still have it.

In Thursday's game Matty had 3 goals, and would have had the GWG if not for the two late ones against.

Not sure but I think I have a vague memory of the NHL doing it this way at some point. But maybe it just made too much sense so it had to be changed but whatever, doing it this way always seemed like the only sensible way to me.

I don't recall the NHL doing it that way, but my memory isn't what it used to be, and never was.

I think the baseball way is a bit better, as a meaningless late goal in a 5-1 game changes nothing.

The first goal, game tying goals (especially late), and OT goals (which are often GWGs) are better indications that the technical GWG.

But that applies to goals and assists too.

Player A carries the puck from his own end, dekes two players, and takes a shot which bounces off player B's skate right to player C with a wide open net. Or A ices the puck but B beats it out and feeds C for a tip-ins. Or A and B each barely touch the puck before C goes end-to-end.

(C with a hat trick - must be Matty!)

So you’re saying another meaningless stat. Ok, I’m going to need a note book. Lol

I agree 100%. First time I heard of the goal that puts you ahead for good being the winning goal, it just made so much sense. It was a long time ago though, I thought it was the NHL but my memory isn't what it used to be either. And memory is a funny thing, probably nobody's memory is as good as they think it is.
