With the Toronto Maple Leafs still on their break from the trip to Sweden, William Nylander’s contract situation remains the dominant topic of discussion. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their thoughts on how the situation is playing and how much of a commitment the Leafs should be looking to give Nylander. Mike and Dave discuss some comparable contracts being brought up when it comes to determining a value for Nylander and the maximum the Leafs should consider paying him. To end the show, Mike and Dave look ahead to potential roster moves Toronto could consider depending on John Klingberg’s situation.

Dr Evil voice 👉😗 '1 billion dollars'
Unfortunately Marner is making 11. Willy is a better player. There is no way he is taking less than Marner and pasternak.
The only comparable that matters is Marner. Willy deserves to make more than him and he knows this. Nylander home town discount might be 11.5 to 12. Mike is high if he thinks $10.5 is fair 😂
Can't keep giving these guys every dollar.
10 or let him walk
10.5 max
This is the attitude that ended up with him playing without an extension, and will result in him walking. Negotiation means you listen to what Willy wants, and then negotiate from there. Do you think Willy has even given them a number, or just let them come to him every week with their new comparable and then not respond?
These guys think Geaudreau and Huberdeau are comparables for Nylander, he must be glad they aren't his agent
Do you guys consider yourselves credible analysts or shills for MLSE? You don't seem like fans of the players on your team, when Willy scores do you go way to go MLSE! I love hearing you slag your players and then wonder when they don't want to resign with your team
Don't get stuck with Willy trade him
Don't worry nobody wants Willy he won't get offers, great analysts SMH
We need defense. Listen 2 trade options. I'm sure the phone will ring. Negotiate with Willie but money 💰 counts.
Lol you are saying Marner is worth more then Willy. Hmm I wonder what you say when Marner is negotiating
I'd take Marner's all round game over Willy any day of the week…. But we can afford both.
I'm not understanding how our best player last year, namely Mitch Marner is taking flak… For somebody else's financial decision.
Be nice if he can throw a hit…
All of these insiders and reporters are absolute clowns with their Nyllander comparable's. Yes, based on THIS year you could maybe make those comparable's, but when you compare on a CAREER basis, all of these talks of him making over 11m are ridiculous. He's worth 9 and that's the reality. Anyone else who says otherwise is getting caught up in the Toronto hype and not seeing things from a birds eye view
it's 10 mill or its a trade am not willing to let him walk. If Brad messes this up the broad will fire him and Shanahan
Good Video Clicked Like . This team is still to SOFT and will get bounced again come play off time unless the PINT size players like KAMPH are given the boot .
Great.. just what leaf nation.needs.. more bearded overweight critics that just spit out what TSN ESPN say on those shows.. just what we need. Golf leafs golf nylander is worth 6 at most has won 1 round in what 7 years all the leaf players are well overpaid. Core four can be fun to watch but we all know they do not have a winners mentality and are content with just being average at best inconsistent. Weak while becoming better golfers since they routinely get bitched slapped off playoff ice… Year after year 1 playoff win for 40 million.. just think let that sink in.. be nice to actually have one of the overpaid players hit 100 points for once all these other teams with champion players that play both ends making half these clowns playing hard every shift. They stand up for there team an themselves. While going deep runs in the playoffs… How many goals for the core 4 in second round? Think 2 … Was that worth 40 million? Only way to correct this is to renegotiate all these over paid players no team wants these contracts.. prove me wrong leafs players
