<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Thanks for seeing my point. I don't disagree with your thought about the Leafs getting a good player back with a lesser cap as being a good option for the Leafs. But as I indicated, I think there is something more important, and that is not to give up unreasonable contracts to RFAs. (at least in the minds of Leafs management). I'm not sure if other teams really want to overpay for salary for Nylander as parachuted RFA, after all other GMS have upcoming RFAs to sign. I betcha most GMs agree with the Leafs an there approach with Nylander. Not that it isn't Nylander's to not sign any contract he doesn't like. Looking at long term comparables, 6.5m seems about right. If Nylander wants more, he just might have to sign a cheaper short term contract and then hope for a greater payday in a few years.</div></div>

Yeah I really get your point. I mean, in my opinion Nylander=Pastrnak. They have the same value and need the same contracts. ~6.5M. But in the last years I saw some overpayment contracts from "bad" franchises. I look at (and maybe Nylander as well) the Draisaitl contract (8.5M) in Edmonton. Ok he is a Center, but in my opinion he has the same value as Pastrnak/Nylander. Maybe Nylander demands something like that?!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>"That makes the Re-signing of Matthews and Marner a bit easier." I'll disagree with that statement. So you are telling future Leaf RFAs, don't sign with the Leafs, cause you will get traded and can get a few dollars more.
It's for the the reason I just gave, IMO, there is no way the Leafs can trade Nylander. He's just going to have to go through the process of being a RFA in this league. So what if he wants 8m, he can flex his leverage when he is a UFA. Gee, why would it bother Nylander what Marner makes? If it really bothers Nylander just sign a one year deal and then next year he can compare himself to Marner.</div></div>

Thank you for your opinion. I just think with the big Tavares contract and the Matthews/Marner contracts in the next year, the Leafs have a problem. To me it seems like Marner and Matthews have a higher priority than Nylander for Toronto. I mean, i tried something with Radulov here... But getting a good, young D (like Heiskanen, Sergachev, McAvoy to name a few) would really help the Leafs. They have the "Big 4" (Tavares, Matthews, Marner, Nylander) in their offence, giving away one of them for a D seems legit. I used Radulov because he is a RW and Heiskanen seems untouchable for Dallas, and I saw a little coincidence with the Carrick deal...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>It's not just health. Players slow as they get older. The decline happens fast in a lot of players. One season and your like yeah he's still good, next season you are like man what happened oh that's right he's 34. You could see it already last year. I know people will talk about stas, but he was clearly not the same player he was when he was younger. Age takes it's effect. All good players age out. They extend that career playing on lower lines. This is why I keep saying Boston needs to find a 1C. They can't just expect him to be there playing at a high level at 34 keeping up with 20 some players at their physical peek. It's just asking for the wheel to fall off the wagon. the legs slow, injuries happen more, wear and tear over years catches up and you can't keep up. No matter what the sport is you look at. Only the really top of the crop extend into their 30s playing at the same high level. But even they slow down. Jordan was not the same Jordan at 34 as he was at 26. You got a player like Chara here who gets away with it because he's 6'9. If he was 6'3 he'd be retired. He's just a freak at his position.
Bergy slows down this year and the team takes a step back.</div></div>

Yeah we definitely need a young Center who can play in the 1st line spot. Of course age gets all of us and I agree with all you say, I just hope that my favorite player can play at his best level. I mean, I can't imagine a Bruins team without #37.
But to get guys like MacKinnon, McDavid or Matthews you also need luck and/or at least one very bad season. I mean, most of the Atlantic division teams are rebuilding and I don't see them do better than us. But yeah.. we could have Seguin but.........
