  1. My impression is that the fact the Matthews' deal got done first is a bad sign for Nylander staying. I take that as a signal that the organization is giving up on Nylander and I look for him to be traded before the deadline. Not saying he's not worth what he is asking, but that's the the financial reality.

  2. Nylander needs to go, the guy’s not a superstar, he’s just a good player.

  3. If nylander wants more, then he has to earn it! Willy HAS to be a 200 foot player who back checks and goes in the corners and actually battles for the puck. Andrew Willy is NOT under paid, he is only one dimensional and he HAS to prove it or trade him.

  4. Good then if Nylander wants to stay he should prove it take the max at eight years 9 mill a year TIME TO PROVE IT stop the talk and PROVE IT

  5. A short term 2 yr deal is possible.Then JT's ripple effect contract has expired.

  6. I think the leafs best bet is to see how Domi and Bertuzzi perform. If those guys have 30 to 40 goal seasons, resigning them might be the better play. Nylander is worth every penny of 10M if he comes up with a better season than the last one. It’s a great problem to have. Worse case scenario they should sign him for whatever he wants and go bargain bin shopping until the Tavares money becomes available.

  7. At this point – trading Nylander for upgrades to Leaf Defence Men is likely the best way to improve Leaf Playoff performances. The Leaf Core 4 was always poorly designed with two smallish wingers who don’t thrive in the playoffs.

  8. Trade him , points win ya games but defence wins ya championships. I’d trade him to Anaheim for Fowler or Gibson . Both players can play a ton of games and are consistent. Yes we will miss his points but Gibson can steal games or Fowler is that steady D guy in the back they need .

  9. He will sign. probably around 9M…hes worth that..remember hes the only one who didnt get his money on last contract and only one who shows up in big games..If Im treliving I do my best to make it work…once Tavares comes off the books we will get more flexibility; gotta maoeuvre the next couple seasons..

  10. If your moving Willie for a top 4 d-man, than you have to move a d-man with him. Brodie M-NTC contract, Rielly NMC, Gio not much value, McCabe great contract. That leafs RFA Liljegren and Timmins. Lilly is maybe the most underrated leaf on the roster and Timmins doesn't have a lot of real value. So who would the leafs move out with a big Willie trade? Hard decision on who should go.

  11. He says he wants to stay so he can pass the blame onto the organization

    I want to stay if they pay me 15 a year for 8 years

  12. Taxes aren't a real consideration when playing for the leafs. Leafs players get a cut of jersey sales so all the leafs players are making way more playing in Toronto than anywhere else. End of story

  13. Get the AAV as low as possible for a 3 or even a 2 year deal. 9 or just shy of that. Makes sense , he has his flaws but his speed with the puck and goals will be missed and we just get slower as a team without him to.

  14. He will sign we want let him walk for nothing I hope Brad learn his lesson from Calgary days.I also noticed Patterson from Vancouver saying the same thing maybe they are planning to try to pick a team to sign together who knows

  15. By Nylander saying well what’s the big deal with being so rushed I got a year left yeah but when a certain deadline passes and you don’t sign, then the leafs will absolutely get zero for you because of all your no trade clause bullshit, so yeah, there is an essence of do it now because leaf players want to know they don’t want you to linger three months into the season going. Is he going to sign because that’s a bunch of bullshit so fucking sign or get the fuck out of Dodge it’s simple. If you don’t sign by a certain deadline and the lease then have zero trading options of sending you anywhere for any type of return then you’re an ass you’re a mat son Dean 2.0 we don’t need that crap again and that’s exactly what you’re doing and if the fans don’t remember that just go back and take a look of Mats Sundin’s last year and what Toronto Maple Leafs got for him which was absolutely fucking nothing. He walked away they couldn’t trade him. It was fucking sad, and it will happen again with Mr. Nylander. I’m calling it now MARK MY WORDS!

  16. Another great video Andrew! Also, enjoy your perspective. Keep working on your dream and you will achieve it. Stay focused and don't listen to the neigh sayers.
