Leafs would be better off just signing Tavares and not signing Carlson and Bailey as a UFA and keeping Matthews. Though I don't disagree with a bridge deal, that 2.6m for Nylander is not ideal. Leafs would have to go higher than 2.6m, cause other teams would offer money, much more.
And what don't people understand about Horton's contract and his LTIR. It's the reason the rich Leafs could dump Clarkson for Horton. Horton's contract is uninsured, Starting next year the Leafs are out of pocket 10.5m. Arizona isn't going to pay that for a minor draft pick.
And if Tavares really want to "come home" sure looks like the Leafs aren't getting a hometown discount at 12.5m.
