I was hoping the " home town discount " would be between 8-9m

Would have been great, for sure.

What have the leafs won lol

Leafs are holding the all the cards. Like all of them. I think a bridge deal is assured and because his point totals will almost certainly increase, he gets dealt some time in the interim.

Just talked to a source who said that the Leafs and Nylander are talking for thenext day or so.....and if nothing gets done it could be “silent for weeks”. More to come

Not the same situation, Doughty - UFA and was a significant piece in two cup wins. He would have received that money from several teams. Kings would have received nothing if he signed elsewhere. Nylander is not free to sign elsewhere, if a team is stupid enough to sign him to an offer sheet, if its more than 8.2 million (Leafs get 2 firsts, a second and a third) if its between 6 and 8.1 million (Leafs get a first a second and a third) Leafs will match the latter type deal - unless it is a high lottery pick. He gets bridged unless he signs a reasonable deal - likely less than $7 million.

With that kind of information, you can actually run a hockey-site!

Nylander is not selfish and will not be traded. Thank god. All you guys in here are (frank)ing nuts.
And although a bridge deal makes sense, I think he'll sign a long term deal.
I want this done so people can shut up and move on.

A drunk Swede just told me Leafs offered 8x 6.875. Apparently Willie's dad told him...
Swedes can only be trusted if poopfaced, so I 100% believe him!

A lot of players held out before (and currently are), but because it’s the Leafs it’s a huge problem.

The only reason the Leafs would trade Nylander is if someone like Bracco or Korshkov is ready to play a top-6 role. That isn’t happening yet...but trade Nylander anyway! lol

He's not going anywhere, $6.5 Mil x 8 plus Kyle gets him a 5 yr gig as chief spokesman for Dove Shampoo for men.

Nylander is pretty good at hockey. I hope he doesn't miss too much of the preseason.

It's sad that we have fans (Bullot) that eat this media driven horsepoop all up, too.

Meeh. He's practically already traded in my mind. He's a waste of skin to me.. A waste of silky smooth, beautiful skin.

Might be good for team morale to trade him. No more handsome elephant in the room, so to speak.

I suppose that means we gotta trade him for someone real ugly.
Guess we'll have to settle on Ovechkin. Darn. Washington would be ecstatic for such a trade.

Doubt he’d do that salary at 8 years.. that’s buying a lot of UFA years.

I think he'll either sign a 2 yr bridge deal or a 5 year deal. Personally, I hope he signs a 7-8 year deal.

This, times 67

Liljegren looks like he's gained about 20lb's. Marner looks bigger too. Leivo was the 1st star in todays scrimmage - guess he's had enough sushi.

I wonder what the ridiculous non-story after Nylander signs will be. I'm going with line combo drama. Matthews doesn't score for five games, massive line combo angst. Then he scores ten in ten games.

Oh yeah and Freddy drama out of the gate.

Also if the Leafs go 4-3-3 in their first ten people are gonna be shrieking in tongues and pissing their panties.

Kapanen looks even faster than last year...guys a freakin beast of a skater.

You are right, more likely to be a 6 or 7 year deal. But the $ value should be close based on this.

Crazy to think no matter how good this team is, fans will find something to female dog about.
Atherial will come in and tell us how crap Matthews is if he only gets 5 points in 6 games.
Garnie will tell us that Zaitsev should be slaughtered if he's a minus 4 after the first 4 games.
"If we had more grit we would be 10-0-0 instead of only 7-1-2 to start the season."
It never ends.
