On Chris Johnston’s current podcast he acknowledged that issues will not be going nicely within the contract negotiations between the Toronto Maple Leafs and William Nylander.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are stated to need an eight-year deal within the mid $8 Million vary, whereas Nylander believes he’s within the $10+ Million space.

In a current article, I checked out what the 40-goal scorer’s truthful contract ought to appear to be and it seems because the membership is nearer to the truthful worth quantity than the participant is.  A pair truthful comparable contracts had been that of Mika Zibanejad and Dylan Larkin.

When evaluating the contracts most individuals have a look at the greenback contract, nevertheless it ought to be the share of the cap that was taken.  Should you do the cap proportion, Nylander ought to are available on an eight-year deal round $8.8 Million, so the Toronto Maple Leafs might cave slightly to winger and provides him $9.2 Million.

The discuss $10+ Million may be posturing by Nylander to deliver the deal into the mid $9M vary, nevertheless if he really believes that’s what his contract ought to be, it could be time to maneuver on from him.

The previous eighth total choice is coming off a profession season that noticed him register 40-goals for the primary time in his profession and reached 87-points.  The massive query is whether or not that is his peak or him simply unleashing what might be a number of years of excessive caliber aim scoring.

Nylander at all times will get his worth in comparison with teammate Mitch Marner and a few really feel he’s price greater than the Selke Trophy finalist.

It feels not way back that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nylander went proper right down to the wire the place the participant nearly missed a whole season of hockey in a maintain out for his present contract.

This time round, the group can’t go down the identical route and I’d argue that the membership can’t depart the summer season with Nylander on the crew and never signed to an extension.

If the 2 sides can’t come to a brand new contract that locks down the ahead long run, GM Brad Treliving has to have a look at transferring on from the very long time Maple Leaf.

Here’s a have a look at three potential areas for Nylander to finish up and in every case he could be signing an extension with the brand new crew as a part of the commerce.
