Isles aren't doing this....stop...No more Nylander deals. He wants a big contract at 10M per year. Not happening on Long Island.

isles aren't in a position to give Nylander the contract he wants

No from Sharks, big time. #1 we like Sturm a lot and expect big things from him this year leadership wise. Would not be shocked if he got an A. #2 we better be getting something much better than a 3rd rounder for our last retention slot, especially since it's for 2 more years.

The trade aside, if Nylander went elsewhere the ask wouldn't be 10M, I can promise you that. That ask is based on the Canadian tax that all agents ask for due to the higher income tax in this country and the pay scale of the Leafs. If he were on the Isles he's either match or come in just below Barzal. My guess would be they'd match his jersey number, 8.8Mx8 years.

Value is good

NSH is not in the market to give up assets for veteran pieces that aren't going to be on the team long term. Clutterbuck would also just take up a spot that could be used for a young guy like Kemell or L'Heuruex who NSH would want to get experience.
