Neither are taking less than 10 mil

Yikes lol. Not only is the value nowhere close, but you’ve also put the Blues significantly over the cap.

Read first, write second.

My bad lol

I stopped looking at this the second I saw Marner getting 6 million and Matthews getting 9. Honestly, don't feel bad for not reading it, it's a total waste of time.

Yeah but that’s your MO

Jesus **** that team would destroy... but could never happen. This is what the leafs could do if there were no cap.

I can always count on you to have your blinders on.

Everyone throws up 8 year deals for M and M, options open up when you look at different terms.

Drunk already?

Yes and a lot of doors close... like the ability to re sign and the price to re sign. 8 year terms are thrown up because in the case of M&M they need to be locked down to the longest term possible. The amount you save doesn’t warrant losing these players to ufa.

Oh and to clarify one thing I do like the idea of staggering their contracts. I think marner at 6-7yrs and Matthews at 8yrs would be a good idea and I think is very possible.

Good luck getting Skinner buddy, he’s staying in Buffalo

So marner, matthews and kapanen are all grossly underpaid. Try 4.25 for kap, 10 for marner, 13 for matthews. Add whatever you want to st.louis trade they dont just want cap dumps and low level players to also retain on peitro. Now adding skinner and retaining Gardiner. No way this could fit not close

Leafs are worse with those expensive signings.....Sure you got Skinner and one year of Pietangelo but to give up regulars, Zaitsev, Brown and Hyman. Having Holl in the lineup. And some of those RFA could walk as UFA if they didn't want those pay cuts.

Quick, name a key player other than Tavares to walk via free agency. You can't. Teams aren't run on fear.

Everyone stays in Buffalo.

Nooooooo.....not Holl in the lineup. Burn it down.
Replacing depth can be a good thing. JVR, Bozak, Komarov...

If anyone wanted to leave after winning so much year after year, we don't want them.

This one is clearly above you.

Chara, gaborik and rafalski off the top of my head.... but I’m sure there are more...

Might be a few more from Ottawa this year but most players that can’t be signed are rented out at TDL.

So few.

Signing marner to 4 and Matthews to 6 isn’t kicking the can down the road it’s catapulting a barrel of gasoline down to the next block. It certainly isn’t out of the realm of possibilities but is definitely not optimal. The 8m or so you lose signing those two later could help the team dramatically.

I bet Tampa really wishes they signed kucherov for the 7m He was looking for.... 2.5m would go a long way for them next year...

At no point in what you just said did one single thing resemble a logical thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having seen this. I award you no stars, and may god gave mercy on your brainless little soul.

How is it above me? This is completely ridiculous with the signings of all sorts. 0 aspects will happen on this. If I could give a 0/5 I would
