   if Willy gets 11.5 it better not have a no trade clause…I'll give u 11.5 but I reserve the right to flip u / trade u as needed .

   Move on!!!! Too much money too long of a term.. If you for 1 second think one of our biggest floaters throughout the yrs can sustain this you're nuts!! .. Can maybe the wrong word cause skill wise he can but he WONT. Cause he wont want to or need to… Walk now !!!

   I think the leafs have really done well drafting assets and that statement goes back to Morgan Riley. Signing them all long term is the right move because you don’t lose the investment in development for nothing. Do you really let Willy go for nothing at this point?

   Its a contract year watch the drop off.For sure he wants 8 years

   Time for this bullsh!!t to stop. Make an example of one of the core four. 9.5 million is Leaf's maximum .Be prepared to let him walk. He will, because he don't care about the team. Either you are for the best interest of the team or either you are not. Option 1: Talk to him and ask him what team he wants to be traded to and give permission for him to talk to them. We get something back. Option 2: Let him walk and we free up 10 million for next season. We can get a good defender, another middle six forward and goalie.

   They should NOT give him 11m a year. Make an example of these grifters once and for all. Set a reasonable price to save to acquire defense. If they don't like it let him walk. Seriously. Enough of the bs paying them so much money

   Let him walk not worth the?money he is only playing for a contract. His production will drop once he signs a new deal guaranteed

   This has to be orders from MLSE and shanny. To keep this core four together until they retire? Make no mistake. Next summer Marner will get a raise. And JT will take a 'haircut' at like 10 million over 5 years or something. They seem adamant on quadrupling down on this idea that you could pay 4 players 50% of the cap and somehow win even though it's unheard of in the NHL.

   Woll was hurt last year sn went 16-1 before he got called up hopefully he can do the same when he comes back

    Lets be real the same people who are complaining about this proposed extension are the same ones bitching about how the leafs cant afford to let him walk a month ago. Leaf fans are the most bipolar fanbase in hockey.

    This isn't a negotiation, this is ransom demand. A negotiation would see the Leafs having the ability to trade this floater

12. @Julie-th4gh 6 months ago

    Dont sign Nylander more than four years .

13. @Julie-th4gh 6 months ago

    Another Huberdeau trap. Keep it to four years maximum.

    With the all star game, I’m with Pierre Lebrun, just get rid of it. It’s not really competitive. Players aren’t giving full effort. It’s an event that exists for marketing and ad revenue.

    You guys should be singing the praises of MARTIN JONES , look at his career duh

16. @fightgame321 6 months ago

    if we give willy that. Marner needs to go and Tavares net contract better start with a 6

17. @VangeliRock 6 months ago

    I'd be shocked if Nylander signs an 8 yr deal.

18. @John577 6 months ago

    Nylander sign and trade for Brady Tkachuck!

19. @morgangentle1515 6 months ago
