Sujet: If the Big 3 wanna win together theyll take these contracts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>I kinda disagree with that logic of "trading Nylander". Aren't you telling other players, you can get a few more dollars elsewhere if you don't sign a RFA contract with the Leafs. To me it's more important to keep Nylander, and on the Leafs terms. Certainly doesn't like he is pushing the Leafs management around at all. Besides it's Nylander's right not to sign any contract he doesn't like. Really there is no reason that Leafs can't sign their RFAs at fair value.</div></div>

Initially I was under the impression that the Big 3 would all get signed to reasonable contracts, but this was before Tavares was signed. Before July 1st, I heard these numbers floating around by analysts, not commentators: 10M for Matthews, 7M for Marner, 6M for Nylander. When I heard Nylander was looking for 8M, I honestly thought it was a joke. Regardless, people have to realize that if Nylander doesn't drop his price by late November, he will either be traded or sit out the rest of the season, the latter of which will take away a pivotal year of development for Nylander.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>That's an ignorant statement and rude to villify a young man who wants to make sure he is compensated for his ability. He'll sign soon enough but he isn't wrong for exercising his rights as a player and a human being.</div></div>

I'm sorry, but being a 60-point scorer doesn't mean you deserve eight million dollars. The reason why he's asking for that kind of money is because Peter Chiarelli screwed the entire league by signing Draisaitl to an undeserved contract at the time, and Nylander thinks he can push around the Maple Leafs head office for what he wants. He's not an eight million dollar player, and I personally hope he gets traded as an example to Marner and Matthews that the individual is not above the team.
