I also heard Nylander is getting pushed by his dad to sign long term over a 2 yr bridge because of the looming lockout. If he signs a 2yr deal, he's and RFA and might not be able to play in Europe and get paid. But if he's under contract, he's likely pushing for a signing bonus for the lockout yr and get paid and go to Europe to play.
I'm not 100% sure on the details of "Can he play in Europe during a lockout without an NHL contract" but it sounds like the major reason why he wants a longterm deal is the lockout potential.
