Always nice to keep the players you draft and develop long-term. After Matthews and Marner's contract Nylander deserved to try and get as much money as he could. I think he would have gotten more on the open market, but probably not much more. Overall ok with this but Woll needs to continue his strong play after injury for this to work next season. Then the Leafs can save a lot of money in net. 24-25 is going to be the tight year, after that Tavares' contract comes off the books (he likely signs for a lot cheaper) and things will get easier.
