He took less money than the San Jose offer and I think the Islanders offer was pretty close to the Leafs but he got money that was ballpark to what he was worth just like when Richards took the Randers deal over the Flames which was a little more. He obviously didn't take a big enough discount or the Leafs would have had this contract inked by now. Maybe this goes down to the last hour and Nylander caves in. For him though he has to know he's likely getting traded in the offseason so I don't see why he would accept less money than what his camp feels is market value seeing he's not long for the Leafs organization so giving them a discount doesn't make a lot of sense.
