"Short Nylander Extension w/ Leafs "in the works""

Bobby Mac tweeted this today

"I am, quite frankly, surprised there hasn’t been a lot more talk of the 3 year or even 2 year bridge deal"

Wonder who has the inside track and who is full of crap???

The league office is waiting to be notified.

Told Nylander is staying. Done deal 6 yrs.

Nylander signed 6 years

Exactly. They’re only getting half a regular season use out of him now. Greedy soft players don’t care about the playoffs.

Nucker, you're better than this even though I know you're joking

He Stays!! 6 year deal! wow!

6.25 - 6.75 max I hope

6 x 6.9 according to Bob McKenzie

God damn you Dubas YOU GENIUS

Meh

Yikes, apparently due to proration, his cap hit for this season is $10.2M.

That's a good thing - means the cap hit in the other years will be lower

10.2 year one, 6.9 the rest of the years.

Willy in under 7m.

That's a good thing - means the cap hit in the other years will be lower

No, still $6.9. Just higher this year because it's divided over # of days in the season, and he missed nearly 60.

So if the Leafs let all their UFAs walk without re-signing them.
Lindholm
Gardiner
Hainsey
Marincin

That means they have around 23-24* million
*yeah the cap may go up, but can't say what until it happens)

All they have to do is sign the following or trade:
Matthews
Marner
Kapanen
Johnsson
Leivo
Ozhiganov
Backup goalie

now trade his ass to St Louis for Paryako....

but don't tell him until the flight has taken off for Toronto.

uniforms are more or less the same colors

and he can look forward to playing with ORielly or Bozak as opposed to Matthews.

Would love Ozhiganov on the Flyers

How bad has Parayko been playing? IMO hes worth a ton more than Nylander.
- eNDSo

Parayko is hugely overrated in my opinion. During his rookie season, he looked like he may develop into one of the best in the league. Then he got paid. He turned into a marshmallow and that massive shot of his couldn’t hit a docked cruise ship.

23 + 5.3(hortons LTIR) + raise in cap = ~30MM.

should be fine. If you want to have a look at tough cap situations. I'd look at winnipeg or tampa.

I'm old enough to remember when he used to actually drive hard and power to the net. Ah, the good ol' days.
