He's worth as much as Mathews in my opinion. If he shows better performance at centre than Tavares, he'll be worth much more than $9M, I assure you. He tends to have his best performances when the pressure is on, whereas Matthews doesn't seem to – at least thus far in his career.
Leafs have 1 yr to sign Nylander.,so take the time to work out a contract-$8.5-$9 Million should be good on a 3 yr deal then he can go back!
