Trade him faster than his head can spin and put that money into a a strong stay at home defenseman
Stay at home defenseman is outdated. What does that even mean? Don't pass your own blue line? Stand next to the goalie? Sometimes joining the rush or pinching to keep the puck in the offensive zone is the right play. Depends on the read. Hockey smarts.

Most teams wont be giving up a good D-men or prospect for him. Forwards are generally easier to find or replace than a good D-men. Nylander hasn't proven anything yet at this stage. He ain't even worth near $5M either. More like $4M at most short term.

I agree. The days of Ken Daneyko are over. Today's NHL has evolved, the game has more skill and speed, all NHL defensemen have to skate and make the first good pass out of the zone.

Think again. As the season wears on teams who lack scoring will need Nylander's services. Just as 30 other NHL teams will have needs to make the playoff push.

I understand that if he's not signed by Dec 1 he is not eligible to play in the NHL. Period. If the rumour is true,Nylander's father is driving a hard bargain here not Nylander,the son. If Nylander young career screw up in the near future,Nylander should blame everything on his father.

Brian Burke says that the Nylander family has business interests outside of hockey. That may explain why William hasn't signed yet. When you already have money you want more.

For example, Vincent Curatola ran his family's ceramics firm before he became Johnny Sack on The Sopranos

The new news is maybe the potential of being traded is what has Nylander worried.

The media still believes the deal will be done.

We've been hearing a lot of speculations, from Nylander wanting 8 mil to Leafs offering under 5, from Nylander worrying about getting traded to the Leafs wanting to trade him for d help, etc. etc. None of these are confirmed or denied and all the talking heads in media, radio and fans are purely SPECULATING.

While it's fun for us fans to discuss things like what he's worth in an extension, trade value, what the Leafs should do with him, etc., I don't think it's fair for fans to take sides or bash the team or Nylander, because we just DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF THESE SPECULATIONS IS TRUE. We're entitled to think what he's worth but it's within Nylader's right to negotiate for the best deal he can get. If you were in his shoes you'd be doing the same thing too.

True. But the reasonable speculation can be believed to a degree.

I think for sure the Leafs are sitting on around 6.5 and he wants more, probably 7. Not going to work.

Most fans would not be happy with 7 or think he is worth that. He obviously should get as much as he can up to the point where you’re not hurting yourself. The longer he sits, the more he does hurt himself.

He may be the first rfa in a post lockout cap to sit out the longest. That’s my bet anyways. I don’t know who the longest was before him.

I can see Nylander ending up in Carolina with Justin Faulk coming back in return. Or possibly Anaheim who are stocked with D men.

Dubas likely to go with someone slightly younger, with upside like Brett Pesce, he only makes $4mil per year. May even get a pick in return too.
