oh sweet summer child, the league is full of ####

its amazing teams sign players to 80M contracts 2 mins into free agency with no tampering

and I think you missed the 4 year part...Nylander is retiring at 32?? lol
I would rather overpay a star by 4M to ensure you get them for a few years then spend that extra money on 3rd and 4th liner

I don't think any of this will happen just saying...his agent will be out there trying to gauge the market, if I'm the Flames I imply the market is looking pretty damn good

The rumored Lindholm and Hanifin deals were what 7.5 and 8.5?

That's 16M

I would rather have Nylander and say troy Stetcher...but that's just me. I know its a ridiculous overpay but that is the price to come here on a short deal...it probably doesn't work but the Leafs or whoever end up paying more which is a win anyway.

This is all a hypothetical to the poster saying "they won't trade him to anyone, especially Calgary" I don't think it would actually happen. If I ran the Flames a team like the Leafs wouldn't be pushing me around...they are the team in the desperate situation, not us.
