I think from the Leafs side of things there's an issue with Saad's term putting the Leafs in a situation to need to resign him earlier than the Nylander contract. Having a solid contract signed until the league should be close to sorting out this mess is a valuable thing. In a non-pandemic era, you're really close to having something here but the pandemic definitely throws a wrench in things. I'm a steadfast believer in the abilities of the leafs top talent but outside the pandemic, it's not out of the question.
