Not sure how this deal gives Nylander that kind of leverage….Aho is the better player.

If anything, this solidifies that Willy is worth 8.5-9 in most markets. He also plays on a much more offensively minded team than AHO.

Whatever puts the screws to the Leafs most, I’m for.

This will be used as a baseline for Elias Pettersson as well then. I’d say this guarantees EP $10M+

If anything this gives Nylander less leverage. He’s not a #1 center.. the highest paid position in hockey. 8.8 x 8 for #88 sounds good to me.

Aho>Willy any day of the week.

So no … it doesn’t
Also this is an overpay of an extension anyway, even if he is only 25z

I hope this is satire. Aho is a center and far better defensively.

I’d take Aho over Nylander any day

JFC, people should have to pay some sort of fine when they post pure stupidity.

I would say this hives him less leverage since Aho is a better player. Nylander might want to go for 10, but realistically he’ll get 9-9.5.

lol Thought this was r/hockeycirclejerk for a second.

It’s wild seeing hockey contracts after a week of what Messi got paid, Mbappe got offered by blood money, a bunch of NFL extensions and what NFL RBs are complaining about, and the new Jaylen Brown deal

You know who doesn’t ask for the most money possible? Guys who want to win the cup… there is a reason why crosby is not the highest payed player in the league, he takes the hometown discount in order to win. The leafs stars seem to go in the opposite direction it seems. Why tf is Matthews, Marner and Nylander paid so much. I guess a sinking ship gets robbed the most…

Lol. Found Willy’s agents burner… lmfao
Semprovictus
no, this gives petterrson leverage, not Nylander lol

This is an absolutely deserved contract. Btw he earned it without having to whine and complain

Larkin got $8.7×8 – I feel like these two are somewhat comparable?
