Sujet: Leafs arent CAP screwed
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>blowing_the_zone</b></div><div>Hype and hate come in eaual measures with the toronto media, and neither does much good for the team. You could be right, Marner might take them to the bank. I just don't see the case for how its justifiable to pay him more than Stone or Kuch.. that said, I could certainly see it happening :(</div></div>

stone should never be mentioned in the same sentence as kuch. I'd love to compare stone and Marner but Marner is more dynamic, more consistent, puts up more points and on a team with plenty of stars, out plays them all. Stone was over paid(for a understandable reason). I don't know if this hurts the leafs or helps them though. compare them as equal, then get marner for a cheap 9.5, consider marner a way better player(he is) then 10+ is expected.

Sujet: How To Fix The Oilers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OilersFan77</b></div><div>We're already fine at drafting. That's the only thing Chia did well. The guy who runs our amateur scouting is now at the helm so we're good there. It's the trading and FA signing that the new GM needs to be better at. The Chia hate stemmed mostly from losing trade after trade and the Lucic signing, a bright spot was him filling the pipeline with promising talent.</div></div>

Drafting is almost as bad as the trades he made. The oilers only have 4 guys drafted outside of the the 1st round since 2013(i don't have the stomach to go back further) to even play a game in the NHL and none of those have ever come close to a full season.

This is by far the biggest joke of a management team there ever was and T.Gretzky and his scouting team is a huge reason for such failures. Every single person in that organization needs to go.

Sujet: Nylander is worth way more than people think
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div> So how does it make sense to bridge a guy for 2-3 years (ages 22-25) and then give him a massive 8 year deal that is paying for the best 3 years of his career only to lose value as the player is in his early 30's? Why not lock them up for their best years at a fair price and then give yourself negotiating power on contract 3 since the player will be 30. At that age, he can't command a massive term and cap hit since there is a mountain of evidence showing this player's best hockey is in the rear view mirror.</div></div>

I agree with you, just not with what the fair price/value is.

Its best for Nylander to bridge then clean up(with someone else) on a contract in 2-3 years. Its best for the leafs to sign longer term so his contract is "cheap" in the final years. If news reports are true, willy's asking for more than the leafs can pay him( because 10 out of 10 times they are going to choose to pay marner first). His value is definitely debatable when you consider his place in the league, but not when you only consider his place on the leafs. He's their 4th best forward and will be considered 6th when it comes to long term planning(Reilly and Anderson before him). This is not only my opinion and not only based on stats. Even if he is only slightly behind Marner, the leafs still can't pay him. Thats why he has such a concern about being traded.

Honestly, even if Marner and Nylander were of equal value. The only difference being where they grew up. Who you gonna choose? This contract is not about his league wide value, its about his value to the leafs.

I just heard, Dubas is on his way to Switzerland to meet with Willy, lets see what comes of it.

Sujet: Nylander is worth way more than people think
I know you are a huge stats guy and we've had this debate before. There is more to hockey than stats. When the entire hockey community believe peak is in the 26-29 range then there is validity to it. its not just numbers either. Players play both ends of the ice as they get older. Ovi is the perfect example of this. 100+ points 4 out of 5 of his first seasons, then a drop to 80-90. Thats cause he started crossing his blueline and is WAY better for it. This is what i have found when quickly looking at some superstars stats.

And to your point, if Willy's gonna peak at 24, why would the leafs give him 7+ long term when during most of that contract he's going to be declining. Willy's better off signing a 2-3 bridge if he wants 7+ eventually. He's a really good damn player, but right now, no where near as good as he thinks he is going to be and won't be paid it.
