<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>If Nylander is asking for less than 9, he's definitely signed. In Toronto, I could see him ask for anywhere between 9-11M, I don't think he goes much less in Vancouver but if Pettersen is getting 10M, maybe he goes for 9M.

If the Leafs just do this to make a change, I don't think the results will be favourable, not in the short term, nor in the long-term.</div></div>

My argument would be that Nylander should be valued at at least 2 million below Pettersson. I believe that an 8.5 x 8 deal is what he deserves based on his career up to this point. He is definitely a comparable to Timo Meier in my mind. This deal would be a panic move from Treliving in hopes of shaking up the core while still being a top team in a competitive division.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>This trade would be terrible for the Leafs because once Miller falls off or starts getting injured, they won't have much talent that will supplement that. They also already have Tavares as their 2C, and while putting him on the wing might help them get more out of him, that probably doesn't happen without Nylander or Marner on the other wing. Tavares-Miller-Järnkrok is probably going to kead into a dip in production for all 3.

This trade for Vancouver would be great, especially if they can retain Nylander. Personally, I don't think it's the end if Miller's contract becomes an albatross in Vancouver, as long as it's after year 3 and that Pettersen is getting paid like 10M and not 12M+. However, I think Nylander in an elevated role could produce 90+ consistently, the caveat is that he probably costs Vancouver 10M.

It may be manageable even if the core ends up being Pettersen 10M, Nylander 10M, Hughes 10M, Kuzmenko 8M, Boeser 7M, Hronek 6.5M Demko/goaltending 8M (~65% of the cap on 7/8 players)</div></div>

Miller and Tavares Would def need to be separate since they play fairly similar styles. I’d estimate that Nylander would sign under 9. As long as Miller does not fall off a cliff and continues to be at least a decent 2nd liner, his contract will be manageable. By the end of his contract, the cap will have gone up substantially, and 8 will likely be the standard for quality 2nd line players. Boeser will either walk or take a significant pay cut, so that will give the Canucks a little more breathing room. I like the idea for both teams because it seems necessary to shake up the core, whilst also maintaining a competitive roster. I think a Miller + Mcdonough + a 3rd for Nylander with an extension could be a fine move if Treliving gets desperate.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CM_Insane</b></div><div>Miller is worth more and does bring more to the table then Nylander. You have 3 very similar players in kuzy, Nylander and Boeser. Is Nylander a better scorer than the other two i think its debatable between him and Kuz. Also I'm not a big fan of Compher I think his offensive ability is getting looked on favorably when he's been in a mostly protected spot in Colorado at 5m I think whoever signs him is going to regret it.</div></div>

There is no world where Miller is worth more than Nylander. Nylander is younger, similar offensively, much better defensively, and will be on a much better contract. Nylander adds much needed speed into the top six, and you can never have too many guys who can put the puck in the net. I agree that Compher is not worth 5 million, but I believe that a combination of him and Rodrigues and provide apt secondary scoring and positive defensive results.
