They see a Lindros-type deal (only better).
There is also some fears:
- he gets an offer-sheet of $12-13 per that the Laffs won't match and all they get is draft picks
- Or they match and are in cap hell for years (they still feel the sting of the muskoka 5)
- he is injury prone and misses chunks of games (Laff fan perception).
- Nylander won't return what they really need

Just the messenger on this, repeating what a few Laff fans have speculated on.
