The Wings just signed Larkin for 6.1 million per long-term.
I am confidant they are offering him minimum 6-6.5 million per.

And he believes he is worth more than that....and when you look around the league at comparables and build in some inflation from when some other deals were signed...he has a pretty good case.
The Leafs are in cap hell and have 12 million to play with...its a fascinating dynamic.

"Right now, I do not know more than all the rest of you," Nylander said, per Google Translate. "I have not received any message and have no contact with Toronto. It's my agent who takes care of everything."
"Yes, it is clear that there is a lot of money, but in the end I have to take care of myself and do it myself and my agent thinks is right," Nylander said. "Especially if it's about several years to come. I have to think long-term. It's my own future it's about."
"No, but I saw highlights from the match in the morning," Nylander said. "Those were great goals. I want to play, but now it's the way it is.
"But I want to stay in Toronto."
