TSN saying Nylander still won’t budge from $8m+/year! The guy truly is an bumhole. No way is he worth that; hell even at around $7m would be pushing it. This goof’s gotta go, if he sticks around he’ll only encourage Marner and Matthews to do the same next year.

Sign him to whatever, trade him at the end of this season.

Hey it might still happen.

Then again after the whole "trading for Miller" failure, I understand their hesitation.

If Hart turns out like he should, I guess the new goalie "nightmare" is St. Louis. Even though the numbers are good, they just "suck."

It seems everyone is talking $8m....who knows for sure, but it seems to be the # everyone is throwing around.

When Anderson is dialed in, the Leafs really worry me.

If you have a better source please let me know...

Honest question,
Can you see Arizona offering and Mathews signing an offer sheet next year for 14 per?
Would you match or take the 5 first rounders? I assume you match.


...Arizona wont survive the next few years to make that happen..this franchise needs to move and soon

this is one of Bettmans many mistakes

They all wannna get paid.

Well no. Cause the money he makes per year could be higher.
Instead 6-6.5 it could be 7-7.5
- Fakepartofme

If he makes 7 million a year, his cap hit would come in around 6.something on subsequent years

- Fakepartofme

Is there a market for him at, say, 8 million?

I like the idea, but it is pretty risky.

It's a lot to ask a GM/Coach/Captain to carry the load.

That's why the Leafs should sign some girls for the roster.

'cause girls just wanna have fun.

8M is alot.

At 7M, definetely.

...obviously not, but when the same thing gets said a number of times, it does start to ring true.

IIRC, $8 million would make him the 22nd or 25th highest paid player in the league.

I'm going to need .HoHo.'s hat to fully demonstrate what I think of that.

Lebrun is one of the few guys I trust. He's saying the same thing.

He’ll have to pull up his big boy jorts and get serious.

1st - have to be really bad to not achieve that
2nd - relatively easy to win a Calder with Marlies with the financial resources Leafs' org has. (it's a great thing, but not that big of an achievement).
try do it with the Tucson Roadrunners
- plantheparade

Making alternative facts fit your already decided opinion.
None of those things are true facts. For one, the Marlies would win every year and with other GMs and they haven’t.

GM Doobie for PM!!!

- Scabeh

It sounds like he is trying to "future-proof" his contract, because the cap may go up or Matthews and Marner may ask for more.

As one of the media guys said, this makes it pretty easy for the Leafs to dig in.

Which of the 3 pairs?
