My Take On Next Season

Toews at $7m aav seems quite optimistic. Anything less than $8m would be a win for the Avs.

Olausson still has a long way to go before making the top 9 on the Avs.

Doubt the leafs do that

And yes it’s 8M X 6 for toews

7x7 is pretty fair for a guy on the wrong side of 30 imo. He could get more, but he wants to stay and may trade some dollars for familiarity and trade protection.

Olausson has work to do, but I think one of him of JLF will take a spot. He has taken some steps, so it's not inconceivable he'll be knocking on the door next year.

I like the sprinkling of youngsters throughout this lineup. Still mostly a veteran team but with an eye toward the future.

Why wouldn't the Leafs do that? They may need some dmen, and Manson is good when healthy. If he has a decent year, then that's a good deal for Toronto imo.

$48M on 8Mx6 vs $49m on 7Mx7. I don't see much reason why Toews would insist on the former.
