Speculation: Nylander XXI - all Nylander discussion here (MOD WARNING IN OP)

[Deadly Dogma]

Funny... on the Canes board we're saying it's not the 30 other NHL team's job to solve Toronto's cap problems. I guess we'll have some resolution in just over 24 hours....

yup he is gonna sign, either that 3x5.4 or the 7 yr 6.9 deal. Its been obvious for some time that they are waiting till tomorrow to lessen the cap hit.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Is the deadline 12 tonight or noon tomorrow?

 

[that is unfortunate]

100%.
He's one of the most underrated players right now imo.
One of the only good things I think MB has done.
Yet, Habs fans still crap all over him. No idea why.
We'll take him...what's the ask tho?

Very few do and those people should be ignored

 

[TheDoldrums]

Is the deadline 12 tonight or noon tomorrow?

I seriously doubt he's signing a bridge. It would have been done already. Long term around $7mil AAV I could see, but signing a bridge at this point is WN admitting defeat. My guess is he'd rather stand his ground and sit out (which is a lose/lose scenario for all involved).

 

[Nizdizzle]

If they trade him the team will also need to build a contract in the next few hours... so if he’s traded it’s very soon...

Any team trading for him will have a deal worked out before the trade is made.

 

[Honest M]

Hope he signs and trade, like Nylander he is clutch and really fun to watch, look forward on seeing him playing and kicking the Leafs ass. Can't bare having to follow him on the leafs board.

He has an agent working on his behalf to stop him from making such a childish decision such as missing and entire year of salary for the sake of pride.

 

[FrozenJagrt]

6 years, 7 mil per. You heard it here first. Well, more like thirtieth. We will see.

 

[alg363636]

Dubas is probably waiting to see if anyone ups their trade offers. But I don't think anyone will give up much for an unsigned winger who wants 7mil+ (assuming that is the ask). And he could very will sit out a year if a team he doesn't like gets his rights.

I'm assuming they will put a long term deal around 6.7 and a bridge for 3 years AAV 5.5 on the table as the final offer once they've exhausted the trade route. It's up to Nylander. Obviously as a Bruins fan I would love to see Leafs lose out here but I don't see why Nylander wouldn't cave and at least sign a bridge. It's money or no money at this point. Leafs aren't going to budge.

Deadline is really around early tomorrow morning so the contract can get processed.

If a trade is to happen, if needs to be done by the end of the day today

[nihlify]

like OJ's glove maybe

So he'd fit well while people pretending he wouldn't?

Isn't it less about pride and more about being in control of his own destiny? If he signs a bridge, he has a looming lockout to be concerned about, a new CBA that will be in effect for his next negotiation (that could be more restrictive), and no real protections against being dealt somewhere he has no desire to play. I don't see how a bridge protects him from these things. My opinion is that he knows he is no more than a bargaining chip at this point (trade bait) and is playing the only card he has (hold out).

nylander would get vouchers in Russia if he signed there this year he would make about the same as what he would get on a bridge deal. so no he wouldn't lose a years salary.

 

[HOPE]

of course... it's a deal nylander needs to accepts too, if it's the case how many team is talking contract with nylnader AS we speak.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Maybe the Leafs have had this plan all along... drag out the Nylander signing as long as possible in order to get the maximum cap savings in future years

 

[gabeliscious]

Guy on reddit who "called" the Ennis signing saying Nylander 6yrs/$7m

that would put the cap in the ~$6.7 range? i think that put leafs in good position to keep or trade if they need to. hard to be upset for either party. big contract for nylander but leafs get cap hit that they need.
