Son of a female dog.

Dubas could have turned that into so many 3rd and 4th rounders!

So, if you had a choice of which player that you wanted on your team, you'd pick Nylander, French Fry Kingfisher?

MacKinnon when it matters - an absolute beast. Nylander. Still not in shape yet. Contracts aren't all about stats only. But your right they are exactly the same player.

What Wedgie said makes sense.

Let him talk to other teams. When the offers are poop, offer him 5 x 5.

If he doesn't like it, he can go play in Sweden and the Leafs can enjoy the cap space until he wants to come back to the table.

Even if he sat out 2 years, at least it allows Marleau's contract to disappear and the Leafs cap situation to clear up. Give the ice-time to Johnsson and Kapanen. Nylander only hurts himself by not playing in the NHL.

negotiations of this sort should be a win-win. nylander won and dubas lost.

5x5 is a win-loss in the other direction. doesn't help if you're trying to be a cohesive team.

there was a middle ground that could have been a win-win.

Holy (frank) dude, you must be having a bad day.
On your period?
Seagull is actually right in all of this.

And yes, during negotiations players are compared to other players points wise... otherwise where the (frank) do you think they get a starting point from?
Birth weight? Eye Color? Body checks?
Jesus dude.

What they should have done with both AM & WN is played them like superstars right from the get go, instead of soft starts and soft comp. The Leafs killed their own payroll, it's not AM or WN's fault IMO. They wouldn't have put up the #'s they did and we wouldn't be in so deep so quick. JMO
