Not only that, but NHL Player Safety would have made an announcement already.... so it isn't going to happen.

It wasn’t a good outcome but I don’t have a problem with that penalty. I hope he brings a bit more of this actually

Best part is he is showing it's true by playing the way he is after getting paid. Turning into a real Captain material type of guy.
another thing to remember about willie, not only does he WANT to be here, he went on record saying he would take a team friendly deal if others would as well ... then auston promptly signed his big $ deal for short term ....

If he took a team friendly deal while the others took all they could, he would be a fool. If Matthews had taken a team friendly deal, and Nylander still took his current one. Then you could say, Talk is cheap.
Now its just, told u so...

Yep and Willy was paid significantly less on his last deal than the other two. For the back half of his deal he was underpaid by a solid 2-3M while Marner was overpaid by 1.5-2.5M for the majority of his deal. Funny how that worked out.

It only takes a couple greedy stars to destroy your chances of winning. The domino effect is real.

Personally, I'm not going to give him credit for something he didn't do. But I'm with you, Matthews is the leader of these losers.

I will not give Nylander credit or blame for his contract.

I would also like to stay in the place where they guarantee me 11.5 million dollars a year!

More from that article:
"These fans, they’re crazy. They’re the most passionate fans in the world. I know how much those losses hurt, especially to Boston. But I hope they know it kills me, too. f***, man. It really does."

Right now i would settle with 1mill. Would make me one of riches in my small town, if not the riches.
If they aren’t worth their deals, blame the GM, he’s the one handing out the deals. If he signs Robertson to 4 years at 7 per are we going to cry about Robertson?

Scoreboard doesn't show his contribution to this game.
Very good game, without recording a lot of points.
Created one goal, and pick-pocketed a slot shot near end of game.

Clutch goal on the empty net. He just keeps racking up the goals. He should be a shoe in for 40, hopefully tops out over 50.

A couple of great defensive plays by Willie tonight, and then iced the game after the ref made it close.

Guys like Matthews/Marner became superstars relatively early (in AM34's case it was immediately), but it's been extremely satisfying watching Nylander's rise to superstardom
He just kept getting better and looks unreal at this point

He was always the one out of the three who got the most criticism and wasn't given the prime minutes early on.
He never complained and I have never once heard any teammates or coaches call his dedication into question.
He has just continually improved when many others players would have folded and made excuses.
He will never be a extremely tough player and will frustrate sometimes but he's a world class player who seems like a great teammate.

Amazing player, perfect attitude to thrive in this market and doesn’t shy away from the big moments.
Grateful we locked him up for the next 8 years.
