Why? That's the cost of doing business in the NHL these days and keeping your top young players. 960 plays Toronto radio on the weekends and they are fully prepared for a $7+ million contract. When you look at what Draisaitl and Eichel got and compare the offensive output, Nylander's agent can make a compelling case he's worth a contract in the $7 million range. Is he worth that much? It's debatable but that's the going rate and you can blame teams like Edmonton and Buffalo for blowing up the salary expectations for young RFA's.
