Thread: Reasonable Nylander Trade BONUS 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>Nylander will likely land around $9 mil, and that's if he's lucky.

You can make up numbers to support your argument all you want but Willy would likely sign in LA for 9 or less. Lily has done nothing to earn 3+ and is an RFA. 28 year old D-men whose 3 x $3.125 contract is all they've made above league min are not the players that take team friendly deals. He will get at least 5 and even if he were to take 4 it would make no sense for the Kings to resign him with Clarke and Doughty down the right side. You can keep Lily to help Clarke transition or you can just trade him for assets. If you flip him then Clarke + Nylander come in at about 8 mil this year and probably 10 the following 2 years. Roy and Kempe come in at about 8.6 this year and at least 10.5 afterwards. The point is you can deal from what is a strong right side to upgrade your forward core and add needed offense.

Thinking their combined hits would be less than Willy would mean they'd reaaalllly have to suck in the near future.</div></div>

Kings have no use for Nylander when they have Kempe, Fiala, Dubois, Arvy, Kopi, Byfield, and Kaliyev.

Keep trying to convince Kings fans that it makes sense for LA lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>Like I said, Willy + Lily costs roughly the same as Roy + Kempe. If Kempe were to sign at the same time as Willy he'd be getting $2 mill less max, that's not MUCH MUCH LESS... Worse cap management would be signing Matt Roy to top 4 money with Clarke about to bump him to the third pair. Look at what you guys just traded to sign Dubois and Fiala. You gave away considerably more and got less cap value for roughly the same cap value, if not less. You're improving your team now and in the future without give any futures away AND the cap hit is still negligible.</div></div>

Having Doughty, Clarke, and Roy is comparable to having Hedman, Sergachev, and McDonagh. That blue line won Tampa 2 cups. Keep trying...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Affectionate_Side_64</b></div><div>He scored one more goal this year and one more the year before, prior to that it was Nylander by a landslide. That aside, I think the glaringly obvious answer here is that Nylander had 20 more points this year, 26 more the year prior, and considerably more working backwards from there. You actually save on the cap this year and get a cost-controlled replacement for Roy who should be cheaper for the next few years as well, while having more room to grow and potentially recoup assets later. If you take the cap you'd save by replacing Roy's next contract (which will include a raise) with 3 years of Brandt on his ELC then it's essentially a wash. If Kempe is truly still better than Nylander when it's time to resign Brandt than he would be making much more at that time with a rising cap. Kings deal from a position of strength (defense) to get better offensively, Leafs deal from a position of strength (offense) to get better defensively.</div></div>

Nylander is going to ask for 10M+ and Lily will likely ask for north of 3M, how does this help the Kings cap-wise?

Roy will most likely take a team friendly deal around 4M. Kemper and Roy's extension will probably be cheaper combined than Nylanders extension alone.
