CarltonTheBear said:I really don't think these two guesses are that crazy. I wouldn't be surprised if both are signed to 1-year deals just so the team can get past the Marleau deal and then they'll get raises after that. The Leafs will actually be able to sort of use their lack of cap space in their favour in these negotiations. They can hold a strong stance and literally just say "this is all we can afford to give you right now, take it or leave it".
Yeah and unlike Nylander neither of those guys have done enough to warrant a big contract already so they don't have the hammer of sitting out and waiting. If they want to earn a significantly better deal, they'll have to be on the ice.
