Back when the deal was signed, I said this had all the potential to be a Lucic-bad deal in the long term.
I'll tell you this, his shit-ass performance is surely pissing off a lot of young RFA's - guys like Rantanen, Point, Marner, Laine, Tkachuk, Boeser, Aho, Connor ... All guys having great seasons, but their holdout leverage has to be weakened the longer Nylander looks like shit. Just goes to show that a 2 month holdout is a major performance risk.
