I believe that management stops at 11.5 million. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Pettersson signs at 10.5-11 million, or Pettersson gets traded. You never know what’s going to happen in the league these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettersson isn't getting traded, unless it's for Bedard, but I personally think 11 Million for 8 years is the magic number, 88 million deal.

I think Petey signs before the trade deadline. Gives management an idea of how much they can spend entering into it. I think the team probably needs one more top four defenseman and a top six forward. One of those is going to probably get filled at the deadline, the other, in the off-season. Allvin has a lot of work ahead of him this off-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Willie is worth that in another market. but we all know that there is a crazy GM out there that will offer him that deal. If Toronto isn't going to pay it, someone else will.

Elias Pettersson Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Nylander is on the verge of signing for 8 years at $11.25 million. That puts Petey right around $12 million. I say he will sign at $11.875 million for 8 years and he will sign prior to the all-star break. That's $95 million in total money...

Just because Treliving is willing to make another terrible deal it doesn't mean we need to follow him. Nylander isn't worth that price. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of their big four are going to win, because they don't have room for anything else on the roster. Their defense is horrible, and that's the one thing a team needs to progress through the playoffs, and win championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so. no gaurantee he'll sign before the all-star break even. he hasn't signed up to this point, not sure why he would sign at the break.

This is what Petey’s agent will propose, but Nylander is entering UFA this summer, so he has the Leafs more by the balls. Those Leafs are single-handedly inflating NHL salaries simply through their brutal bending to their fancy four. Shame on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think with all these good old Ontario boys (Tavares?) wanting to play for them, you'd think they'd get a few more UFAs at a reasonable price. Instead they have to wait until they are past their due date (Thornton/Spezza...who used to be their enemy) and sign these guys to really expensive deals. Can't be easy for the GMs that's for sure. Dubas and Chakya were the supposed advanced stat big brains, both of them screwed up, with all their big math problems. I highly doubt Nylander is getting that deal somewhere else.

Tavares stuck it to them when he came home. When he signed he became the 2nd highest paid player in the league (1.5 less than mcdavid). No hometown discount for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look at the bottom line or net pay. Not very often anyways. NYI is also a high tax team. Crazy as it seems, Stamkos signed almost the exact same overall money deal, as was offered by SJ and TO. Which was reported at even more money - over 12. But the take home, with the extra year, was virtually identical, did he really take a discount then?

They can live their lives away from the rink and just be a regular Joe. Up here that’s not the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's ok to have a discussion on cap issues, it doesn't make someone a wet blanket or bad fan. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you're right again in that it isn't a terrible idea as compared to the comp. And ... spot on about the wet blankets.
