Well they won't be in cap hell. Cap hell is when you have too much salary buried, or bought out or retained or player next playing up their contracts. The Leafs have little of that. If nothing else if the Leafs need cap they do the ability to trade a good player for equal or near equal value.
Certainly you've paid Nylander too much....he will be signed this summer. Even Matthews and even Marner are too much also.
So why didn't you complete the lineup. Johnson, Grundstrom, Kapanen should be competent to good wingers on cheap contracts. Liljegren, still on ELC and a inexpensive Borgman could be Dmen. Sparks in net. There are seven NHLers making about 8m.
How can a sports fan say it" looks bad for Toronto", because they have too many good players. You're comparing them to the Hawks who have contracts that severely overpay a few players and even worse have NMCs.
