It's obvious why, isn't it? Dubas is upset, because he beat Kasperi Kapanen at NHL '19 and William Nylander didn't even congratulate him. Just said that Lou built that video game team.

Guys...200 full size chocolate bars hidden somewhere in this house...I pretty much can't take it anymore.

Leafs finally have a team where the no facial hair thingy wouldn't apply to the majority of the players, and Lou is gone.

Oh wait..now I get it. They have no facial hair, so Lou became feckless and was shown the door. Can't intimidate and despotize players with his ancient, autocratic, senile rules.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Pay his dad $2m a year to be a swedish scout but never require him to do any actual work. Get pops on their side lol

the youtube page should have a "share" button. Click the embed button. And cop paste it into here. Highlight it, and click the code button. You may need to alter the width button in the url you copy.

Wouldn"t have made a difference anyway.

Dubas is trying to much to be buddies with the young guys. He’s having them over to play video games and sit in the basement smoking weed while his mom makes meatloaf. He’s just trying to piggy back off them and score some girls.

He’s forgetting that he’s the gm and has to to sign them to contracts still. He might not even know that he only has till dec 1 or nylander can’t play this year. I haven’t seen it brought up once.
- bryant

Do you really believe that??? Or are you trolling???
The dec 1 deadline has been talked about as nauseum.

You can get a 40 year old veteran "mentor" for 1 million dollars as a UFA. Marleau always was and still is overpaid. Rather have that 6 million free to pay Nylander. It was a short term move. Hopefully he decides to retire so he can be traded to Arizona next year and free up that cap space.

Even if Kapanen can't do (even though he can), it doesn't really matter as long as Nylander gets moved for a legit defenseman. The Leafs have no problem scoring goals. Tavares, Matthews and Marner are fully capable of taking a young ELC player with a bit of talent and turning them into a top-six forward. Tavares did it for years in Long Island. Turned nobodies into 30 goal scorers.

Nylander is surplus, Nylander is expendable.
- Unholy_Goalie

This again.
There is no young RHD with his potential available for trade. It just doesn’t make sense unless you know of a candidate to target that hasn’t been mentioned. The ones that have and are at all available just aren’t a good enough return. Dubas isn’t the dumbass Chiapet is.

and there you have it...

Nylander - by any objective measure is not worth more than Pastrnak. Pastrnak signed for 5 or 6 years at 6.66

therefore all the blathering that Lebrun(in particular) and Dreger, yadda yadda yadda have done, Button saying he would sign him if he was still a GM to an 8x8 contract is all just noise.

I hope that GM HarryPotter will now offer 4 years at 5M and let Nylander stew. Give him one or possibly (at most) two offers, one shorter term and then a mid-range offer, and if he isn't signed by November 9th... start the auction.

For 4 yr bridge 5 mill is too high.
No auction. Threaten him with no NHL for the year. No big $$. No closer to UFA. Let him sit. Don’t blink.

You rock, thanks!

Cap space is like the most important thing for a contender though. Get him on a good deal and he's virtually untouchable for the leafs. The higher the deal the more likely he will have to be moved. Same with a bridge deal. If he signs a bridge deal and dominates he's as good as gone once it's done.

Edit: Imo of course. Not being UG here and saying I'm definitely right lol
- daeth

I see it that way too. The more cost effective the contract the less incentive to trade a player. Given he can’t be offered a NMC at this point, this would seem like the best insurance against getting traded if that really is important to him.

HOW ELSE WILL WE GET AN UPGRADE?
