Speculation: Nylander XI - All rumors, proposals, discussion, etc. HERE

[Jaleel619]

I completely understand wanting to get paid and having a long term contract incase a severe injury occurs. What I don't understand is in the same off season of getting John Tavares for free, and having sat across Marleau in the dressing room who is 40 and still without a cup, I just don't get that part. Doesn't he see he's in a fortunate situation and winning a cup isn't easy? Losing Matthews for a month isn't good, and if it ends up they sort out a contract, but end up missing an important seed or home ice by a couple points and lose. That's not something you want permeating in the locker room, because they'll all point to Nylander. But I am a sharks fan, so I really have to applaud DW for being aware of this years off season and not re-signing Marleau to that contract. It also makes me wonder if Toronto had any idea about Tavares or if Lou was aware but since he wasn't going to be there long term decided to handcuff the leafs considering their young stars will be needing contracts.


Am I missing something or am I on the money?

Leafs should try and shop Nylander then. No way he can get 8m with the Matthews and Marner deals coming up too. You would be looking at 30m+ tied up in 4 players.... which is just insane.

Trade Nylander for a stud dman on cheap deal... both sides win. Nylander gets paid and the Leafs get a good dman back and can sign MM and AM next year. Someone mentioned Hampus Lindholm as an example, not sure who else they could target though. Maybe one of the Minny dmen?

Umm try closer to 40M

Tavares = 11
Matthews = 11 at least
Marner = 9 at least
Nylander = 6 at the very least
TOTAL = 37 at least but most likely 40M

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

We don't really need him right now considering our first two lines are buzzing and defense is a bigger priority but I wish the Islanders would offer him a contract. That being said we're going to have a hard enough time resigning our own players.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Tavares = 11
Matthews = 10
Marner = 8
Nylander = 6.5
Rielly = 5
Andersen = 5
Kadri = 4.5

Sweet..

 

[Scott Stevens]

Which Dman?
Hampus lindholm maybe? Anaheim wont want him, he was a hold out and doesnt that hint at something bad? I highly doubt he was getting low balled, they wont want a dman just playing for $$$$$.

Lindholm would require Matthews
Nylander is more in the Manson or Montour range

You know that isnt true, and youre basing it off of an obviously sarcastic reply to a posters hot take.

Why would Anaheim accept less than Matthews for Lindholm? He’s a relatively inexpensive number one D with room to grow. Nylander isn’t worth that. Neither is Marner. JT probably has a no trade. Next up?
Yeah. What doesn’t make sense here?

 

[93gilmour93]

Key word is “believes” He is not worth Pasta $

Oh he's worth Pasta money. It's Pasta who doesn't deserve Pasta money. He's worth way more.....

Its like it goes in one ear and out the other with you.

I’m sorry but did someone not propose Nylander for Lindholm? My apologies if I imagined it.

It was a sarcastic reply to a dumb hot take. It was not a real proposal, it was used to demonstrate how dumb their hot take was.

Lol gtfo! All I’ve heard since game 1 is how close Matthews is to Connor if not better and then here you short him 2.5M. Also Marner is getting more and I’d say nylander would take more too. If nylander would take 6.5, I think it would be done already. So probably at minimum 2M for AM and MM each and another 0.5M for nylander...TOTAL becomes 54-55M not 50M as you stated for 7 players. 30M left for 16 players. Gardiner will have to get 6 minimum if he is to stay. Marleau gets 6, so now you are left with 18M for 14 players. KK is getting more so good luck folks....leaf fans becoming capologists over the summer were on another planet thinking it could all work....

No art ross, no hart, no 70 points, no chance its even close to 12.5m per

 

[trellaine201]

Trade Nylander for a pair of shoulders.

 

[OVO16]

Get him a 6ix side ting and he'll sign

Can't be from Brampton doe. Gotta be a sauga ting

Do YOU think Matthews is close to McDavid, and/or deserves the same money as him?

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Ristolainen and Reinhart <----> Nylander and ???

 

[Gsh]

Trade the soft Swedish boy who only cares about his hair for a gritty Canadian who developed in the OHL that Don watched play in minor hockey. North American kids have heart and are willing to sign for league minimum.

 

[TheMadHatTrick]

Tavares = 11
Matthews = 10
Marner = 8
Nylander = 6.5
Rielly = 5
Andersen = 5
Kadri = 4.5

Sweet..

I think Matthews gets the same as Tavares and Marner takes a slight haircut to stay in his home town (7.5M).

What doesn't make sense is your evaluation of Matthews worth.

 

[Harhis]

The problem for the Leafs with trading him is they have to find a team who is willing to give Nylander what he wants. IF the rumored 8M a year is true and he doesn't want to sign for less it might be hard to find that team.

 

[Svencouver]

Matthews being out will make things a little more interesting. If the leafs start stuggling to put wins together it'll put a lot of pressure on the front office to shop him. I really, really doubt they can afford what he's asking if they want to keep the core together. It's not worth sacrificing potential depth on D.

 

[Scott Stevens]

I’m not saying Lindholm is worth Matthews. I’m saying he’s likely the only single asset Anaheim would be interested in for Lindholm.
