News Article: Paraphrased, If we do well Quote: "it’d be unreal to stay.”

[ULF_55]

Look forward to July 2, when we will have a clearer idea what's going on and we can get a break from all the crazy assumptions we see here daily.

Nothing could happen for weeks after July 1st.
Could be waiting out to see who, what, where and for how much.
Neither Nylander nor Matthews actually have to sign anything period.
Nylander can be moved, Matthews determines the direction of the team.

 

[ULF_55]

The good thing about this negotiation is that Nylander has to know that if they can’t get a deal done , he’s being traded.

And he still doesn't have to sign, so he'd likely be traded as a 1 year rental, but at least a one year 40 goal scoring rental. What Timo go for?

A lot of the speculation will disappear, IMO.

A lot of the speculation will disappear, IMO.

Only whether Matthews or/and marner are traded against their will.

Actually, that ends Midnight June 30th.

Unsigned July 2nd. would be best for the board!

Everyone loves watching the Titanic go down.

Johnston on potential Nylander extension: I believe William wants to stay in Toronto - TSN.ca

TSN hockey insider Chris Johnston joins First Up to look ahead to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Johnston shares his thoughts the number of injuries the Panthers are dealing with, why he believes William Nylander wants to stay in Toronto with a potential contract extension looming and more.

Four of the same type of player. Think about it this way, how often during regular 5v5 play could you have all four on the ice at the same time? Or even three of them?

They take up your top 2 lines .
It would be different if you had a Tkachuk or Wilson type of player instead of skilled and soft.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nylander should get the Reilly contract.

He doesn't score enough in the playoffs and doesn't play defence enough in the playoffs.

7.5m x 8 years or trade him if he doesn't agree.

 

[Nick034]

Have you seen him in the playoffs? 40pts in 50 games is not good enough? 17 goals out of those 40. 10pts this year in 11 games. Wow, just wow on some fans.

 

[Racer88]

Matthews has to agree to a new deal by July 1 or he has to be traded . They cannot allow him to walk away for nothing. If that happens everyone in management should none fired.

And since he has been our best forward in each of the last three playoffs this team must have some serious problems then..

 

[Go4soda]

Am I the only one whose not getting that from what he said?

i agree. to me, it sounds like he is a bit non-committal, but really just suggesting he’d like to return, but assuming the leafs don’t pull the plug entirely on the core.

 

[kevsh]

If he wasn't so set on squeezing every dollar out of the team I'd make re-signing him a priority, even more so than Marner.

He has his faults (inconsistency, streakiness) and I hate his avoidance of anything physical but he seems more mature than Mitch and therefore less prone to high-pressure choking.

They can, and probably will, you’ll know by July 1st whether this team will remain a President Trophy contender or a Stanley Cup contender by what they do or don’t do regarding 34………

With your matching screen name icons, I thought you were arguing with yourself for a second.......... which wouldn't surprise me, to be honest, after all these years on this Board......

 

[The Iceman]

Nylander shares the same agent as Johnny Gaudreau.
I think this will have a large bearing on how Treliving handles the negotiating.

Once bitten, twice shy.

It’s his job to squeeze whatever he can out of the team, one can only hope he lives up to whatever overpayment he recieves, if JT contract is a boat anchor imagine what a aging 34’s contract will become……..

One would hope…….

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Nylander wants to come back?

No.

I'm afraid it's too late.

 

[geo25]

Id rather just do Marner for Lindholm and Hanifin (extended) straight up and resign Nylander. If Calgary is willing.

Agreed....

Nylander was probably the honest 1 of the core 4 at the exit meetings
Marner is the problem .

What did WN say at the exit meeting?

 

[geo25]

It does not have to be by the Leafs.

This entire drama with Dubas, the core 4 & their greediness and the ineptitude of mgmt/ownership is going to bite Mlse in the ass big time. Many fans have already drifted way and I can imagine a huge turn off of their long term fan base. How can you support a team of whiners made up by a core of overpaid & under performing prima donnas. I am at the point of turning the page on them. The whole thing disgusts me. I am sick of Rogers, Bell & Shanahan.....I wish we had another GTA team I could root for.

 

[thewave]

Love it. Basically they all want top dollar and have nmc and have some of the most lucrative ad revenue and be a competitive team in a cap system.

Hilarious

I want it all too.

 

[jaric1862]

Honestly 9.5 for 8 years for Nylander is a very fair contract. I think it starts to get wonky if he asks for 10+

 

[Trapper]

Honestly 9.5 for 8 years for Nylander is a very fair contract. I think it starts to get wonky if he asks for 10+

If I’m Nylander I’m waiting until Matthews signs. If he gets 14 for 4/5 years, no way I’m accepting 9.5 x 8.

 

[AvroArrow]

9.5 is quite a bit for him. I think he's a star but that's a bit much. He'll probably ask for 10+ considering what Matthews/Marner are making though. I wouldn't mind around 8.5x8, but I think he asks for more.

Somebody tell that guy Matthews isn't even eligible to re-sign until July 1st

 

[Maple Leaf]

Sign nylander and trade tavares
it's basic science

 

[sxvnert]

Willy has earned the opportunity for another team to pay him 9-10m. Get what we can and move on.
