What exactly is it about Nylander that everyone wants him bad enough to upset the Flames salary structure and give up multiple assets (depleting our depth)???
The comparisons I have seen put him in the middle of that group (Pasternak, Elhers), not so far above that he is a superstar. If anything he benefited from playing with a generational player (Matthews).
The only real question you should be asking is - Is Nylander good enough to be the highest paid Flames Player? (If he was willing to sign for less than $7 mil he would have by now.)
I see this as a lot of Flames fans buying into the Toronto hype and hoping to make an Oiler move.
