Nylander is not happy about this, but he's not holding out for 8M. That just won't happen. If he got traded to Calgary and they offered him 7 years 6M per, I'd bet he signs.

It has been widely reported that Nylander wants something in the range of what Draisaitl got in the $8MM on a long-term deal and the Leafs want to sign him around $6MM/season long-term. I agree he's not worth $8MM, but that is what he is asking for. So if you are going to trade for him, be prepared to pay. As things drag out, they might be looking at a bridge deal.
