Either you think the hit was dangerous or not. Whether the player was injured shouldn't matter. Unless your contention is that the player wasn't injured and therefore it wasn't a dangerous hit, which would be preposterously poor reasoning. 

It was probably illegal, but it wasn't dangerous. I've seen legal hits that were way more dangerous. Like, every single McCabe hit.

The Nylander deadline has passed and with it Dubas has failed his first test 

[Scottysabres]

Bob McKenzie reporting Nylander signed, 6 yrs x 6.9 mil.

With Mathews and Marner due up this July, It looks like Toronto could have 45% + of their cap tied up in 4 players. Wow, just wow.

Uh. Sir. He re-signed for $6.9Mx6.

Nylander being reported done at 6x6.9M

I look forward to some Eastern conference GMs colluding to screw Toronto this summer. 

[Sabel79]

That's a... nice contract. 

I'll get my coat.

Max offersheet to Matthews followed by a big one to Marner would just make my day. 

 

Also, I'm very ignorant about contracts and cap stuff. But how was 6x6.9 not agreed to, like, months ago? That's completely reasonable for both..

I look forward to NHL GMs... doing absolutely nothing and letting them continue to build. I’ve seen nothing that makes believe NHL GMs would ever step up.

I look forward to this talk being all the rage...and not a single GM actually doing it.

Beat me by that much.

Is it possible Toronto ends up trading him anyway? That deal is pretty attractive.

Cap question: would you rather have one Willie Nylander or two Sam Reinharts?

I think that's quite a bit more likely than offer sheets screwing them. But really I expect they let Gardiner walk, find a taker for Marleau, and just top-load their roster.

Depends. Is Nylander going to have a Marner-like step forward this year? Before this season, they were statistical twins. If Nylander takes that kind of jump, I'd rather have one of him. 

[Hoss]

I would give eight of my ten fingers to beat Toronto in the first round

[Brawndo]

Right now they have 23 Million in Cap Space and 12 contracts signed. Kapanen, Kadri and Nylander are the ones most likely to be moved.

Do you keep one on each hand or a thumb and forefinger on one?

You could say the same about any young player.

Reinhart 2018 71/26/34/60

Nylander 2018 42/12/21/33

Reinhart’s November numbers 15/5/10/15

Pinkies only

[Scottysabres]

Toronto is looking unstoppable at this point. Obviously we'll know more after the Mathews and Marner situations get resolved this off season, but as of now, I have Toronto rated the best team in the league. And that takes in to consideration Pittsburgh, Washington and Tampa Bay. Toronto's young and just completely front end loaded. With Reilly starting to break through on defense I say they are on the cusp of a Dynasty IMO.

Toronto may have to.

This will be a GREAT question in April.  I want to see what W. Nylander does.

Gotta keep the two middle ones for when the final horn sounds.

Or the two thumbs for when they’ve won the Cup...
