Jack Eichel gets 10 million per without a single 60 point season, Nylander gets 6.9 million(With a much bigger cap) with 2 60 point seasons and Sabres fans are complaining. LOL.

People hate on trump because he says stupid things. ALl the time. But he has increased our economy like crazy. Look at the Exchange rate and GDP. I like money>

I can't tell if this is a direct quote from Trump.

But, but, but he was draft 2nd overall so he has to be worth that right?

Stop watching FOX news. Trump's economy is actually DOWN from the final 2 years under Obama.
And Trump has shockingly increased the National debt in under 2 years that has never been seen in history. Republicans use to rant about debt under the Dems, now they don't care.
Trump is treating the U.S like his businesses: Borrow, borrow, borrow then go bankrupt.

That's being reported EVERYWHERE.


We'll enjoy Nylander, you enjoy your big UFA signing, Kyle Okposo.

- RogerRoeper


Not to go all Leaf fanboy here, but these analytic and cap crunching nerds know what they're doing and holding out to the last possible minute was more and more beneficial for the cap hit going forward. They still got Nylander to a reasonable number and are better prepared for our other big RFA signings. I really don't see how there is any fault here ad I think they did a great job.

That said, I do not believe Nylander will still be a Leaf by the end of the contract as management will simply try to avoid going through this again.

He’s at it again. Oh boy

Value at his highest? Huh? .....

He’s locked up for 6 years and now has a chance to prove how good he can be. His value is far from his highest.

I love how much you hate the Leafs. You can try and tell me you are just talking hockey like every troll but for all of us here it’s extrmely obvious that you say what you “hope” because you can’t stand the leafs being good.

But keep commenting because we could use some comedy in here this morning

His value was higher in the summer then it is now. Can he have a crazy season and increase value yes. But with this contract holdout hurt his value. Also teams would think if they trade for him in summer they could get better contract. Could they prolly not but GMs have big EGOs. Also, I think the leafs being good is good for hockey. Bigger salary cap and it is fun to watch sabres and leafs being good at the same time. Cant wait for Sabres to put a smoke the leafs Tomorrow.

Sabres have a good chance of winning the December 4th cup tomorrow night. Probably don't even need to bother playing the rest of the season.

Hard to disagree with you, but two factors will mitigate this. One the salary cap can go up, possibly significantly - good news for the Leafs, bad news for welfare teams. The other factor is the CBA - owners will be looking to make some changes - allowing every team one buyout as suggested by Wedgie might be a possiblility. Creating a special franchise player designation - with at least some cap relief has also been mentioned.

1 jack had 64 point in 67 games last year.
2 Jack plays center
3 jack is top 10 in point this year
4 Jack plays against the other teams best line every night, While Nylander plays against other teams 3.
5 Jack makes players around him into super stars.
6 Besides his rookie year. This is his first year healthy and not having to play with high ankle sprain. Which is the worst injury to have. last all season.

Yeah teams dont care about cancers in the locker room. He will have to work on changing his image first to increase his value.
