Description

So the more i think about this the more i realize that in nylanders situation a bridge is the best for both parties. The reason is that the leafs want nylander back at less than 7 million and nylander is worried that if he signs long term this year he might start putting up 80-90 pts and be significantly underpaid. Also Matthews and marner contracts will make him look stupid if he signs for his market value. Now yes over the next 2 years he will be paid fairly compaired to similar players (reinhart just got 2×3.75 i belive) this will allow him develop into a better player and may get a bigger AAV and allows the leafs to get rid of Hortons contract and have more capspace to make a better offer. It's a bit of a gamble but at the end of the day its the only chance he has to get an 8 mill AAV.

Not in the best interest for the leafs moving forward but certainly works with our cap and gives nylander the shot at some bigger money. I think he would be very motivated over the next two seasons.

with the depth the leafs have in forward it more likely he will put up 80+ seeing they will see less talanted dman more often.

you say it isn't in the leafs interest, but then if that's the case shouldn't the leafs just pay him the big money? not saying that nylander is 7 m worthy. it is apparent the two sides can't agree on long term deal so there are many options left. even if the leafs up the offer on a two year deal closer to about 5.75m, the Leafs have the cap for those two year and likely more, saying nylander would be motivated for two years, just what the leafs and Nylander need. puck pal, you and me say take this offer to to dubas.

If you are paying Nylander 5.75 you are getting minimum 4 years out of him, maybe even 5.

The reason it not is though they have tremendous prospects comming up if they planed to go after a top pair shutdown d that plan will have to probable nixed. But yeah it will probably be a csp hit of 8 AAV but if you look at the cap situation it may help if a team tries to offersheet Marner or Matthews by giving 2 million additional capspace next year to get them locked. Also allows Nylander to see how they get the structure their contracts.
