You can’t simply throw random bridge contracts to players, Nylander would ask for the bridge to end after that Marleau contract expires and almost certainly Kapanen would ask for very similar numbers.

i think the bridge is fine. Doesn't matter what Nylander would want in terms of term on a bridge, the leafs are a part of the negotiating too, and on a bridge the discount goes to the team.

I think Kap, Marner, Matthews, Lindholm all get a bit more, especially if they keep this pace, which means no room for Myers. I think our defense is good enough and even better when Gardiners liability is gone.
