Do the Isles want Frans Nielsen back at 50% retained?

Lee was more of a certainty to return than Nelson so methinks you're going to be disappointed on that one.

Eberle will be out there though.

Not a great deal for a 27 year old who had a career year last year of 53 points IMO.

lol what? Which UFA would've signed for that AAV and been a better choice? Kevin Hayes is probably going to get $7M on the open market and he's got a career high of.........55pts.

He's a 2C so I think that is a fair deal. Once Nylander is on our team we should be good to go....lol....just being Salty. But seriously, Nelson is a guy that thrives in the Trotz system and wants to be here. That goes a long way.

Lou is bad with contracts.

Is anyone going to defend it that knocked the Nylander deal?

And when Nylander gets 6.9 people freak out. He has 2 61 point seasons in only 2 full seasons at age 22.

Double-standard.

6 million is the new 5 million. Eberle Hall and RNH each got 6 like 5 years ago. Nylander is at just under 7 Turris is at 6 and Duchene likely gets 9-10. so its a fair deal

Not great and not bad but fair

Calling this Nelson deal bad is laughable. He's locked up through the remainder of his prime and maybe a year past it at a completely reasonable number. Nylander's deal has absolutely nothing to do with it.

You are comparing it to deals signed years ago when 6 million was a lot.

Looking forward to hearing why Brock Nelson is worth 6 x $6 but William Nylander at 6 x $6.9 is a bad contract and the player stinks.

No I am not. He's just not talented enough for 6 million.

Lou is bad signing vets. Real bad.

What is this, your 8th post trying to trying relate Nelson to Nylander in the last 5 minutes? Change your diaper

No it's not Roeper you're just not intellectually able to understand the criticism. With Tavares Mathews and Kadri already at center paying Nylander near 7 when you still have to sign Marner is short sighted.

At best Nylander is a 3C in that situation. And near 7M for a 3C is not smart.

Just because you don't have the mental acuity to grasp that doesn't mean it's not true
