Dubey 1,035 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 exactly Also the same cap-circumventing structure that was widely speculated before the season. This was always coming right down to the wire. I’d be surprised if it was ever truly in danger of not happening. Link to post Share on other sites

This was always coming right down to the wire. I’d be surprised if it was ever truly in danger of not happening. Nylander only loses about $200K by not signing this before the season and that doesnt even account for taxes and escrow... plus he's well rested. Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't paid as much attention to all this as most have, so I'm not so sure....but wasn't that brought up as the best case scenario for both sides, as you said, months ago? Leafs could give him that much if they signed him so late? I wonder if this was all signed long before, what he would think now with all the fans that called him and his father greedy.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Im reading all this as you guys prob are, but ill just note this: If Nylander plays well next couple of years, with so much of the money being upfront, he sure is going to be a great trade chip to send to a team who cannot afford to spend to the cap. that of course is IF they felt like trading him Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I’m just glad I didnt invest much emotional energy into worrying whether he would sign or not. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Looks like a trade is pending. Dermott being loaned to the Marlies to free up a spot for Nylander. He is waiver exempt. He has played well and most likely will stay with the Leafs Looks like a bottom end forward will be traded. Speculations are it’s Leivo. Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,321 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Leivo to Vancouver for Carcone better than losing him for nothing in waivers Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 better than losing him for nothing in waivers Correct..Needed the roster spot for Nylander..We werent sending Dermott to Marlies..Holl and Marincin would of had to clear waivers..Which they would of been claimed probably Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Carcone looks like he is a GTA boy from Ajax..He scored a lot in the Q, but so do a lot of others. Probably an AHL guy with limited chance to make the big club. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am really confused as how this Nylander deal is legal under cap...Ton of the money is bonus and upfront..His base salary next year is like $700k Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Signing bonuses I think Exactly what it is. It’s an advantage to a team like the Leafs. I’ve read that Nylander will get close to $20 million in 18 months up front. Arizona can’t compete with that Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Auston Matthews after seeing Laine score his 100th goal in 179 games. "Hold my beer, I got this" He needs 14 goals in 23 games to beat him. Dont count him out. Hmm..This could still happen..needs 11 in 21 games.. Maybe its best Auston take like 10 game slots off and just tears it up the rest of the games. Link to post Share on other sites

It was exciting but I prefer to avoid that team in the playoffs...Fast, skill on both sides..Good goaltending makes it exciting. Link to post Share on other sites
