He's doing as he's told....sadly, ShannyCon pulls the strings. Wish he was canned..such incompetence. Chelios was sooo right in his public assessment of Shanahan.
A truly horrible post.
Willy is asking for $10.5 because of the ridiculous over-payment of the Marner contract by the former now fired GM. You can't really blame him because he was making $4 mil less annually now for years.
to Cap Armageddon territory with now 4 forwards eating up even more of a teams salary cap then previously, thus making the team even less Cup Competitive. & on to building a solid complete team 
with a rising Salary Cap and away from this core 4 forward top heavy nonsense.
I thought he was asking for $10, and I expect him to get $9-9.5, which I think is acceptable.Willy is asking for $10.5 because of the ridiculous over-payment of the Marner contract by the former now fired GM. You can't really blame him because he was making $4 mil less annually now for years.
However if we still had our former incompetent GM I firmly believe Willy would be signed for his asking price of $10.5 mil and rocking his new contract and Leafs would now have 4 X double digit contracts and 4 of the top 12 AAV highest players in the game if that were the case and Leafs would move from Cap Hell
However because BT is holding firm, I'm holding out hope that he gets Nylander re-signed for around $9m mil on term, or he trades him for a decent return preferably and top 2-3 Dman. He won't let him walk after what happened in Calgary where he believed in good faith his players would re-sign and then they ran and left the franchise hanging.
PS. Once Treliving can get out from under the boat anchor of the Tavares contract in 2 years time and either walk away or cut his next contract, then Leafs will only have 2 players with double digits AAV and mercifully finally getting out of Cap Hell
But Marner was overpaid and put us into cap hell at a similar salary...basically a cap dump...or so you've said.
Wait until this guy finds out Marner's playoff PPG the last two seasons is higher than MacKinnon.
Are you comparing Marner's contract that took effect in 2019 ago to Nylander's next contract that will take effect in 2024?
I'll take MacK's production over the last two playoffs and his SC over Marner's. No contest career playoff points. Mitch has 10 goals in 50 playoff games while MacK has 44 goals in 77 games. Yikes.
Well, for people like Ovy, you're comparing the career of someone in their late 30's to someone's all prime years. A more fair comparison is playoff ppg after their first 7 seasons (spoiler... it doesn't look good for matthews).

If you do $/Playoff Point, our guys should be at the top of the list.
One turns to a perimeter game bc of the lack of time and space in.the playoffs. That and he's built like a 16 year old
The successful one plays like a wrecking ball. That goal he scored in the SCF vs Tampa is all you need to see. But hey Marner is 1 for 1 and lethal on penalty shots.
What I am saying is make him happy, pay him 2024 25 year and trade him at the end of this year .he is 6.9 this year.
Right, don't give it up.
I don't think they can give up the M-NTC while signing an extension.
Not sure what you mean by 'don't give it up". It's there for the duration of the contract.
Why not, it's a quiet day at the office.

In his new contract do not include a no movement clause. If he wants 10, then we must have right to trade him.
