If this prediction is correct, that would make four players on the Maple Leafs earning over $10 million per season, and given their talent up front, it would make 2023-24 Stanley Cup or bust for this team.
This year however, Nylander has tallied 48 points in just 34 games, and with his breakout year, it may be the difference that this team needs to make a deep playoff run, and if he can stay at this level, it's hard to say that he hasn't earned a deal like this.
