This is based on the Nylander talk on the Leafs talk side. Lets say the Leafs win a couple of rounds, but not the Cup. Lets also say Willy has a very good playoff and during discussion prior to the draft, he is looking for around $10M per on a new extension. Lets also assume that the Leafs already have an extension in mind for Matthews and have identified Marner as their other forward to build around and feel they can't afford all 3 over $10M per.

At the draft

Nash
Nylander $6.96M

Tor
Tomasino $.863M
Wilsby $.842
2023 1st (assuming pick is outside top 10)

Nash gets the scoring help they need and a year to negotiate an extension.

Leafs get a 21 year old local boy who is already solid on the PP and cost controlled RW. Top 6 potential. Wilsby is a 22 year old puck moving D who is progressing constantly. Should be a mid 1st round pick as well.

Nylander can’t ask more than pastrenek Boston so it’s 9 million max. Salaries are actually falling a bit. Maybe not enough teams have cap money.

It doesn’t seem like much of a return for a player (Nylander) who is on track for a 40+ goal, 90+ point season.

@DM. You know Pasta got $11.25M per right? How is Nylander wanting $10M more than Pastrnak?

@DM what are you on about? MacKinnon signed for 12.6 and pasta just got over 11.

WB. This isn't a sign and trade scenario. If he is wanting in the $10M range, what do you think he will be worth when to sign him by the acquiring team it will cost $10M?

I think some are comparing willy to a Tkachuk type return. RFA vs UFA is a big difference though.

@LL. Plus, the Tkachuk deal was a sign and trade. The Flames actually signed him to the 8X$9.5M deal and then sent him the same day to Florida. So Florida already knew well in advance what the contract would be and likely before Tkachuk signed it, the Panthers knew all the details and OK'd them so the trade could then go through.

David mackin.

Pastranak got $11.25 so there is little doubt that Nylander will get $10 from someone.
