I like Nylander and yeah you sign him rather than lose him, Leafs don't have the stones to do what they need to do now though. Team will get bounced in the playoffs early, say "we had a really good season" and bring back the same roster with less depth next year.
Its not much of a stretch to watch these guys and have major concerns about their playoff ability
they can't win in regulation and can't keep the puck out of the net. Top offensive players have been shut down in the playoffs.
This is also a classic contract season bump if I have ever seen one
Nylander has a career high of 87 Points and has been over 61 points TWICE in his career
He is being paid like a perennial 100+ scorer. He wouldn't be making this kinda money outside of a Canadian market IMO
They absolutely should be trading Marner but they won't, it should have been done already
Leafs won't win with that core 4, it's not gonna happen

Comparing the Leafs situation to the Flames is not a good idea. We don't have Matthews, Marner, Nylander and Reilly. We have Huberdeau and Kadri. It's not even close to the same.
Also, this summer there was not any news about what the projected revenue league wide is this year. That news came out, it was said projected to be $6.2 bil in revenue which is a $96 mil cap. That changes the value of contracts.
This summer most were saying sign Nylander $10.5 mil too, not $9 mil
Leafs might not win with this core, but if Treliving makes a good trade and they draft well, they have a chance.
Aren't you saying in this thread that McDavid is going to ask for $18 mil and settle for $16.5. How many players in the next 3 years will get $12 mil or more? There is going to be 30+ guys making 11 mil in the next 3 years.
