Rumor: Nylander like Matthews unextended. Nothing to see here.

[notDatsyuk]

Canes have won more "rounds" than the Leafs and have been one of the top team in the league.

Dubas philosophy needs to get outta here. NO MORE BS.

TEAM FIRST!

His team was ok despite his sucking, so he must be great?

Got it.

An important thing to consider when comparing Nylander and Aho's raw production is how inflated Aho is by empty net goals and points.
Also, lol @ people trying to compare Aho to Matthews/Marner. Completely different tiers.

Which years is Aho's production being "inflated" by EN points? Him also getitng those EN points happen to coincide with the role he plays on the team.

Matthews and Marner being on a different tier is obvious, and they're paid as such, and are going to be paid extraordinarily more in the near future as well.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Relative to Nylander? Every single year.

Exactly. Better players get bigger contracts. Seems pretty straightforward.

LOL @ people trying to think of players before the team. That name on the back matters more than logo on teh front. ANd they call themselves "Fans"

Dubas is fired right? Asking for a friend

I don't think so.

Honestly, based on some interactions I've had on the main boards, I'm convinced some of these fans actually are fans of the players and their brands and don't actually care about winning.

I too find it disturbing when people's idea of fun is to tune-in to the NHL awards to see who won the Lady Bing.

I also don't understand the fascination with keeping the core of players that has so far collectively won 1 playoff series in 7 years.

You can change it up at this point.

My guess is in the leafs 100 years plus history they’ve generated the most revenue during the Matthews , Marner era. Shanny is a puppet to the board, they don’t wanna disrupt the cash cow.

Unfortunately Shanny is a major issue and it was not JUST dubas

Shanahan is in love with this core, we may lose out on severla 1sts, good young NHLers and a blue chip prispect or two for 1 more failed year of 88 and 34

He is fine letting them set the contracts and take us to the cleaners

 

[ULF_55]

Projected Cap: 87.7
Meier Cap Hit: 10.54%

87.7 * 10.54% = $9.24mm

The question is term of course ... and no RFA years in Nylander's deal.

Minimum $9.25mm

He is fired the but the negative effects of his flawed roster construction will be felt for a few more years at least

Because they're elite players in their mid 20's ?

That has accomplished nothing from a team perspective.

I guess that's because his coach trusts him to be on ice when his team is defending a lead in a close game and he is able to help seal the win?

Location does impact compensation.

About $1mm difference in uncomplicated net income.

Sure but players earn USD which also goes further in CAN.

Looks exactly like my tax return except for a few decimal points.

Quite likely, but how about in relation to cost of living or average salary?

True, but about all the team can do is try to hold onto the elite players until the albatross leaves, so they'll have a chance to accomplish something.

Absolutely.

Aho just signed 8 years X 9.75M with a 2M signing bonus every year.

We know centres get paid more than wingers. Aho is also younger with less games played and more points on a lower scoring team with less offensive talent around him.

The cap on Nylander should be 9M with no bonus money, less if he wants his salary upfront every year.

I agree but I hope at some point they actually learn to be elite when it really matters and the games get tougher

You can try to make lobbing a puck into an empty net sound as flattering as you want, but it doesn't change that it's a result of team-dependent unique situations and opportunities, is not a representation of a player's quality and offensive impact, and it's not what teams are paying for.
