I love seeing fellow fans work out their projections for the Leafs in 2019-20.
Here's a few of my thoughts:
- they can save money by avoiding possible ELC performance bonuses (eg Borgman, Rosen, Ozhiganov) in favour of straight low cost (Holl)
- option to sign Sparks less than Pickard and save some $
- I think Johnsson will cost more (think Hyman/Brown)
- I think we'll see Auston's value at 11M+, so I'd plug in $11M assuming he compromises
- realistic cap = $81.5
- I'd add the 23rd player to the roster to make the projection more bullet-proof
- I like Grund's potential too but I think AJ is a player that is better suited to a top 9 offensive role right now.
- I hate to say it, but with JT as a centre, Marner's agent is going to tell him to go have a breakout year then go for $8M+ next summer. It could be a tough negotiation.
