<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Nhl_oilers</b></div><div>May not be a bad idea. Could learn a thing or two down there. Broberg too, as he’s bouncing back and fourth. Brown I hope can get better soon, but I would like to see Bourgault maybe get a chance in the NHL next year. See what he can do, and if Brown bounces back, maybe we can get him for cheap just in case. Bourgault is an interesting guy down there, that’s for sure, but he will be 22 next season. I could see him being just about ready for a top 9 position on the right wing. For Rodrigue, I like the guy, and I would like to see him get a chance, especially since he is doing well. I guess it depends on how well Skinner does. I believe Skinner can play well like he did last season, and if he does, then yes, bring Rodrigue up next year. If not, maybe he could learn from a veteran too.. Either way, it will be interesting to see if we keep Holland past this season, and what they do with the team. For defence, I wouldn’t mind a Connor Murphy, or Dylan DeMelo type guy on there with Nurse. Cheaper than Spurgeon, but also good players.</div></div>

Connor Murphy is a guy I've been interested in for a while, especially if Chicago would retain salary like they did for the McCabe trade.

I think with goaltending next season we need to do it by committee. Sign not just one guy, but a couple of fringe NHL Level goalies and whoever impresses gets to stay with the team. That's why I signed Comrie and Martin Spencer in this ACGM. Both are having poor seasons, but both have NHL experience and could bounce back

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Nylander hasn't done enough to get the "equivalent" of Pastrnak's deal by % while simultaneously becoming the highest-paid winger. It's worth noting that Panarin is still the highest-paid winger by salary and he got 14.29% of the salary cap vs Pastrnak's 13.64%.

I do think Nylander could argue that he's just as good as Pastrnak now, so he can get 11M. The difference between them in the last two years is Pasta's 113 pt last year vs Nylander's 80 pt season in 2021-22. That's a big difference but what plays into Nylander's favor perhaps is that he's improved every year going from 80 to 87 to being on pace for a 130 pt season along with Pastrnak.

As for Huberdeau, he has a long-track record of being a high-end producer who was much more productive than Nylander even more productive than Pastrnak (since 2016-17 when Pastrnak broke out). He signed that contract coming off of a 115 pt season, and the 10.5M in CGY was meant to be similar in net income (it's slightly less) to 9.5M in FLR.</div></div>

I wasn't arguing that Nylander should get the equivalent of Pastrnak though. If you bothered to read my previous posts I said I thought that a deal as high as 11.5 x 8 (less than Pastrnak by cap %) was a possibility if Nylander lead the team in scoring and put up 100+ points.

I agree with everything you said, I think we're on the same page dude...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingExLeafs</b></div><div>lol. He's not getting that.

Nylander is a fantastic player, who is clearly motivated, but that's not a serious contract.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kinger25</b></div><div>Leafs decline to pay him any more then 11</div></div>

This can't be that far off from what Nylander's agent will ask for if Willy has a 100+ point season and leads the team in scoring. If Pastrnak's 11.25 x 8 deal is considered a slight discount to stay with his team, then 11.5 x 8 for Nylander seems appropriate if he leads the Leafs in scoring right?

Lets not forget that the salary cap is getting a large jump this season now that escrow is paid off. The 13.64% of the cap that Pastrnak's deal was at the time would be approximately 12 million a year with the expected 88 million salary cap next season.

I understand that Pastrnak is without a doubt a better player than Nylander, but if Nylander gets over 100 points and leads the team in scoring, I would expect the contracts to not be too far apart, especially with the rise to the salary cap.
