2023 Offseason Trades & Signings

[bustaheims]

Hagel's signing should definitely drive down Nylander's ask. Hagel has similar numbers to Nylander at that age and brings more heart to the game.

Why? They're not in the same performance tier. Similar role though.

23yr old Nylander put up 59pts
24yr old Hagel put up 64pts

Equals = Same tier

If only the Leafs were negotiating with a 23 year old Nylander and not one who's been a point a game player for the last two seasons.

Also, at 23, Nylander put up those 59 points in 68 games. Hagel put up 64 in 81.

I can't tell if you're being facetious lol

I'm having the same struggle.

Man, I did not think that this would be the shape of his second contract.

I think we have to also take into account the heart the player brings to the rink

Nylander also has a perfectly functioning heart. So, that's moot.

Good point. I take back everything I said.

Is he that good?  If he is, Chabot Chychrun Sanderson Zub is a nice top-4 d-man collection.

Eventually Ottawa will be good, yeah?

He has good potential, but it's a big commitment to a guy who had a good rookie year. As of right now, that number represents the 14th highest cap hit for a defenceman for the 24/25 season.

[OldTimeHockey]

That's a crazy contract for a guy with one year of NHL experience

[AtomicMapleLeaf]

They signed Jeff Finger?

That was basically my take. It's not like he came out and set the league on fire - and there was no need to get an extension done this summer, as he still has a year on his ELC. He had a strong, promising rookie season and showed promise, but, even if he has a great year this season, he wasn't going to get much more than this on whatever contract he signed. And, if he doesn't take that leap, they almost certainly signed him for cheaper, even if that meant shorter term.

Morgan Rielly's flaws aside, it's crazy to think that Sanderson is making more than him after one NHL season.
