Thread: Leafs Realistic
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>All they have to do is manage next year and giving Nylander a bridge deal isn't the way to do it. It causes too many bigger problems later on. Its pretty clear now that a point a game pace gets you close to 10 million on an 8 year deal. Inflation keeps pushing that number higher. So if you bridge Nylander (which the market currently just doesn't do), you're opening yourself up to having to pay him way more on an 8 year deal 2-3 seasons from now. That's poor planning. That would make it almost impossible to keep Reilly, Kadri and Anderson in 3 years when they need new deals. Long term cost certainty for a core in their early 20's is the only smart path forward.

The defence will be fine and the forward depth will be insane.</div></div>

To each their own... You disagree with me and I disagree with you. This could go on all day so I'm just gonna end it here. Nobody knows what Nylander, his agent, and the leafs are thinking and all we're doing is making assumptions

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>Yeah there is now way he signs a deal like this. If you want to give him a 4 year deal, it'll be 6 million and after those 4 years you'll be looking at an 8 year deal well over 10 million a season. The guy is going to score close to a point a game for the next 4-5 years for sure, likely even longer. Get him locked up for 8 now and then he'll be 30 and looking for his next deal. At that time, there will be so much supporting data showing the impending decline in his 30's that the team will be able to negotiate a high cap hit low term deal or a longer term but much reduced cap hit.</div></div>

It's only a 3 year deal, and you can definitely up it to 3x$5mill if he's willing to do a bridge deal. His next contract would likely be much higher than it would be if he signs an 8 year deal this summer

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doug7004</b></div><div>Sorry but I just don't see this management team giving in to stupidity like Edmonton did so I wonder what Nylander might actually be signed for!
Comparibles (IMO) (Age, performance, most are proven centers, inc.)
Trochek: $4.75, Atkinson: $5.75 Barkov: $5.9, Turris: $6.0, Forsberg: $6.0, Scheiffle: $6.125, McKinnon: $6.3, Stephan: $6.5, Pasternak: $6.7
Each and every one of the above, have as good as or better performance than Nylander, so why do so many feel that he should be in the $7M+ range!
I am a Leafs fan and love Willie, but can't see the reasoning! (MY BELIEF: 8 X $6.5M IS FAIR)!

PS: Beleaf, this is not a criticism of your above post, but a commentary on the many posts on here with what I think is unreasonable contract $!</div></div>

I totally agree with you that he shouldn't be getting that much, I was just going with what most people on here are saying to avoid getting tons of comments about how I'm way underpaying him. I also believe at 8 X 6.5M is fair!
