Its crazy how hockey players are shamed for getting contracts like his. Most NHL players are grossly underpaid for the punishment they take and the amount of games played. Happy he got paid
Blame the hard cap. I still remember the days when we could just talk about how good a player was, not their AAV, market value, comparables, whether the contract is front or back loaded, and the state tax rate. I'm here for hockey, not finance and accounting!
@@stevendchu furthermore, big contracts are sexy and prestigious from a general populace's standpoint, and it will draw more attention to the game. That, and the cap being raised progressively is inevitable, anyways, it's just the NHL manages their markets so terribly. The game has an optics problem and not just in the business sphere, but also in the media. There're basically no good hockey shows. The Hockey Guy on UA-cam is the only one I can tolerate and he's literally running it out of his closet. There's a huge gap there and the translation onto social media is killer as well, as without proper viral moments-aided by expert broadcasters and pundits, in this day and age, you're lagging behind aggressively in the marketing department. The NBA, for example, has had an incredible marketing team, at least relatively speaking, over the last two decades. The NHL is a very frustrating organization.
@@andrew1250 Who cares, the hard cap is what makes this sport great. Nobody wants team buying their championships. The cap ensures there's more parity.
Is no one talking about the fact he didn't even tie his laces up and was about to play a light game with the kids? 5:00 Still a great dude, happy to have him in Toronto!
All the original 6 teams if you win you get immortalized by the city and fans. I'm a Hawks fan so if Bedard can win here just like Kane and Toews he will be hockey royalty in Chicago. Same with all the other teams but more so with the original 6 it's religion
Just finished watching the first 2 episodes. Really liking it so far. I gotta say, though, that first episode really brought back some bad memories, lol.
No player should sign with the Leafs if they're not willing to carry the burden of 1967 and are not dedicated to ending the drought. That should be the first thing the GM should ask.
I was very excited for this and to be honest , a little let down. I think it's great that we are finally getting NHL docuseries. Been wanting to watch something like this for a long time. However, I wish there was more coverage of each player. Instead, of covering 10-11 players, they should have done less players and more to get more content through the season for each. There was so much hype about this. People, like the guys on spittin chiclets, saying we might see things that we weren't supposed to see.... There was nothing here that was shocking or groundbreaking. Nothing unexpected. Maybe Amazon isn't the right provider to do this. I think Netflix does are far better job with sports docuseries. This one fell short, IMO.
Because most tickets go to rich corporate businesses while the real fans who can’t afford the tickets watch at home. Even if you know nothing about hockey or the leafs, if your employer offers you tickets, chances are you’ll still go.
Real leaf home games are at Ottawa, Buffalo, Florida etc., youll hear leaf chants there, where tickets are cheaper. There's no fanbase in the NHL that travels as well as leaf fans.
Stupidest thing I’ve heard maybe in my lifetime. Do you now how many people have hated being here. And you get a guy who not only loves the city but has the perfect personality for it. Willys an absolute beauty and I hope he retires a leaf
@andrewmartin6374 The only thing Nylander can do, and not always, is score. He is completely useless outside of that. Of his time in Toronto, Nylander has 1 season that he had more points then Marner for 2nd place, and it was his contract year. Nylander also sits 3rd for most goals and points by the core 4 in the playoffs. He wants to stay because no other team would be stupid enough to offer him what the Leafs have. Of the core 4, all can score but Nylander is the only one that doesn't help defensively, doesn't do corners, doesn't back check, etc. He rarely even skates past their own blue line hoping for a pass up. Not a team player. He's also sat half a season and several games in the playoffs. Like I said, he can score when he wants to but so can everyone else. For what he brings, not worth his contract, especially for 8 years and with a NMC. I hope he plays different going forward but up to now, definitely not worth it
@@modernhistory8978 Cause of the fans and media. Look at guys like Phil Kessel who was our best player for 6 years and absolutely hated the Toronto media
Leafs fan or not... you gotta admit it was wholesome when he got on the ice with the kids - and they went easy on him. Great kids.
How can you not love this guy?
ready for season 57 without a cup?......
Frrrrrrr
Willy showed up on boxing day at one of the outdoor rinks and played with the kids in a peacoat, this was.in his early days. Guys a good man.
I'm not a Leafs fan at all, but all respect to William Nylander. His dad was a great player and so is he. Also, seems like a great human being.
Always shows up in the play-offs too... god love him
let's just pause and talk about those dogs. Those are such cute puppies! They seem so friendly too!
the fact that they just wait for nylander at the rink is so cute
I’m a blues fan , aw the dogssss. Also nylander is such a great person. ❤❤
Love this kid
Imagine being one of those kids! Must be so cool!
What a show
Bit of a let down in my opinion. Could have been better.
Lol wow Debbie over here. How could you complain about it. It was amazing @joea1683
This guy delivers. So many Leafs fans are too dumb to realize it.
Nylander will gain Leaf Nations love with this short documentary... GoLeafsGo
Go! Leafs Go! This is our year! o7
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 again? 😂😂😂😂
He's got the Passion™️

blame the salary cap. If there was no cap no one would give a shit how much they make yearly.

if i was playing shinny and willy showed up id probably faint in excitement lol
It’s pretty funny, he asked his dad “How many goals have you scored this year?” And his dad responded “That’s not a good question to ask”😂
We love you Willy 💙💙💙
❤willy❤
Oh to randomly play stick and puck with nylander. What a dream!
1:08 insanity
Willy's awesome 🙂
this is your captain !
His episode was good. I appreciate Willie more now than I did before. Still drives ya nuts sometimes, though.
Is no one talking about the fact he didn't even tie his laces up and was about to play a light game with the kids? 5:00 Still a great dude, happy to have him in Toronto!
You sure love to nit pick, huh?

Go Leafs!
Great video . GO LEAFS GO.
Willy: the only gamer in Toronto
Willy should have an A on his jersey, not Marner
my goat
King Willy!
Go Leafs Go!!
Biz with the Analyst/Leafs fan tag, not former NHL player, haha
Matthews, nylander , JT, and Marner
GO LEAFS GO!!!
4:13 William: "How many goals did you score this year?" Dad: "You were not supposed to say that..."
bro eating at SUGO then rocking the SUGO hat
Willy's the man.
Just finished watching the first 2 episodes. Really liking it so far. I gotta say, though, that first episode really brought back some bad memories, lol.
It can go with the already long stack that you have already.
Anyone else crying in the end?

insanely dumb to just instantly put that pressure on players.
@@andrew1250 and this attitude is why we'll never win one again. And, who else but the players are responsible for winning the cup?
We’ll win one? Hahaha
5:50
he broke that poor child's ankle XD
How SWEEDE it IS. This guy is the best.

Nylander should be captain…..
I agree. He is the captain alongside JT. Think they put the C on Mattews for the kids
5:01 🙏🥹
leafs are the dallas cowboys of the NHL.
They should make a video of all the first round exits :3
I already know what the comments are gonna say. Yall ain’t clever
If they are SO diehard WHY is it the most boring building in ALL of sport? It's like a library at the ACC.

Scotiabank Arena*
Only leaf who actually shows up in the playoffs…
Jackie has quietly become hockey royalty.
To bad the hobnobes who own the leafs weren’t as passionate
Marner jealous 😊
Boycott Amazon
Save your country
Doing real good at that boycott while commenting on their UA-cam channel 😂
Toronta ehhh
Willy please walk your dogs with a leash for there safety
lol the media wears suits
lol Nylander is cool and mega rich… so why does he dress like my dad did back in 1989? 🤔🤣
because he's so cool? 😄
@@BodyAndSol96 lol Nylander might be cool, but my dad wasn’t…. 🤣
ah if ur rich u gotta wear suits everywhere u go? didnt know that
@@tangofett4065 Nylander is relatable and grounded. That's why he's so likeable. Marner on the other hand...
i think biz wants to date nylander
Idk why but me and Willy should be friends
All that talent and money and literally nothing attained,
Trade Mathew’s please he’s such a crybaby
Being a leafs fan sucks.
Shut your butt up now! Never lose hope!
yea having a guy like willy on our team is fukin awful. I miss Aki Berg
Love the players, love the team but Id be happy if the City of Toronto went another 57 years without a cup.
Guy from Brampton straight YAPPING
You obviously don't love the team or players if they're failure would make you happy. Why bother lying?
So you have some vendetta against the city? Kinda weird but ok
You're a clown
Dude came to a leafs video to hate. Rent free
4 generational talents? Lol, 1st round exit.
Q
Should have traded him when they had the chance
