Just means he’s not ready for extension yet. Not a bug really
Why wouldn’t he be ready for an extension? He should just be an RFA who needs to sign to play this 18/19 season. And even if there was one year left on his entry-level contract, giving him offers should be possible.
I haven’t checked what happens at the end of the season, but the point is still that he shouldn’t be able to play the season with a 895k cap hit, because he doesn’t have a cap hit.
All players who have one year left should have a Yes or No about their interest. That Nylander (and I assume other players in the same situation) doesn’t have that can’t be because ”he’s not ready”. Given the right offer he should be ready... but when the only option is to ”Trade for asset”, it just makes him play a contract he doesn’t have. If Nylander plays this season without a contract, I would be very surprised!
