Leafs are going to lose a skilled player one way or another. Tough spot to be in.

I think they've probably already tried to trade Nylander, but they're going to have to take a lesser return because of the contract after the season he had last year than they would have liked.

Do they even have their 1st rounders?

When it’s 4 1sts, they can be dispersed over 5 drafts

How could they sign Panarin when he doesn't want to play there?

They tried

If Marner won't go more than four years on a deal then he has no leverage and this has all been bad kabuki theater.

 

Nobody is giving 4 1sts for 4 years.

Elliotte Friedman made the exact same point on the 31 thoughts pod.

It simply won’t happen if that’s what he’s looking for.

Really fucking himself over if thats what he wants.

[josh]

That’s after the new cba and expected tv deal. Salaries will increase dramatically.

 

And he’s not signing to play in Columbus with Torts. Come on.

Not really, because he wants to stay with the Leafs imo.

He’ll get a nice contract with term in the end.
