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

Treliving is more about the here and now. Interesting to see how he patches things if they continue to come up short in the playoffs.
