<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CheechYou</b></div><div>If you add Niemela to the deal (like the description says) and lower the cap hit retention to maybe 3-4mil (maybe throw in another pick for a 3rd team to retain), and <strong>SJ/TOR confirm that Nylander would resign with SJ to a long-term deal for 9mil or so, Sharks accept and it makes sense too</strong>.

A wild card here is the fact that Patty's helping Grier in the GM role, that Marner and Patty are father and son, that Marner has a super large cap hit like EK65, and so I think Marner to SJ is a possibility not many are discussing in a potential EK65 deal with all the focus on Nylander.</div></div>

2 very important arguments here:

1. If Nylander signs long term for $9m aav then it’s in Toronto. That’s right around where they’re hoping to get him so they wouldn’t trade him knowing that he’s sign for it.

2. Let’s say Nylander doesn’t want to be in Toronto and would sign $9m long term in San Jose instead.. that’s worth a hell of a lot more than Karlsson at $4m retained. At that point Toronto isn’t adding Niemela, or picks. San Jose is the team adding significant assets to make the deal happen.
