bad return for nylander

How much more?

rather over pay him by 500k then get underpaid in a trade

Not taking both of those contracts to move up like 20 spots in the draft

How much more draft capital for it to make sense?

William Nylander > Alex DeBrincat, Bad return for Toronto. Great return for Ottawa.

100% not market value but the Ducks (bad team that needs to reach cap floor) should pounce on moving up in draft for one year of taking guys like this on. Not like it’s your $.

Gotta love these bottom dweller teams negotiating how much garbage is too much garbage. I mean it’s the same owner that paid Klingberg $7M when everyone knew they had no chance of making the playoffs and ended up flipping for a 4th + add ons. I mean flipping a 1st for a 2nd seems generous

Ottawa isn't giving up so much for one year of Nylander......even if they had the cap.

Pay more attention

30 million in cap space and have to pay a couple RFA’s lol. Laughable if you don’t want some 1 year deals to move up in the draft.

You guys don’t have room to negotiate being above the ceiling so pipe down a little bit there bud

Zegras 8 million — Terry 7 million — Drysdale 2.5 million — Dostal 1.5 million — BOG 1 million = 20 million

Then we need 2 more NHL defensemen which will cost anywhere from 5-10 million leaving us nearing the ceiling so figure it out a little more before you try and be all big man

Lol I guess you got it all figured out, you’re doing great Mr. Verbeek.

What? this was a pretty bad return for Ottawa
