Though unrealistic, do you guys think this team is a contender?

no

Coyotes cant even pay a 75k bonus

Marner's cap hit is not going down, please stop with this. Also too much for Ovi, and too long.

what could possibly going wrong, paying ovi 12 million dollars till he's in his early 40s

Ya, even if it were possible to do that, Arizona would be the last team to accept that.

It's certainly a contender.

But that Ovechkin deal will look bad eventually, and obviously whatever is going on with Marner will never happen.

Didn’t ovechkin just say he won’t play for any team that isn’t the caps?

And ya you cant just magic marner’s cap number down.

What difference does it make if an unrealistic team can contend?

@MitchMarnerElite Would you mind taking me off the list of people you tag for these? I'm not a Leafs fan, and these don't really interest me.

NO WAY the leafs, or anybody, sign a 30something year old to a max term deal with a 12mil cap hit!

Stop living in the past man, Marner's contract is what it is and it will stay like that.

Arizona is in a financial mess, They can't afford a buyout on Matner eating 8 years of dead money. And it would cost far more then Dermott and a 2nd round pick to do it anyways. No team is helping out Toronto with Marner just so they can resign him cheaply. Dubas made this mess and has to learn to live with it.

Y'all ignoring the fact Vegas isn't dealing Theodore

This is insane. Ovechkin has already said he’ll never sign anywhere other than Washington in the NHL, but I’ll leave that for now.

You’re giving the Coyotes a 2nd + Dermott to take on $41 million in dead cap. That’s ridiculous.

And Theodore is one of the best D in the NHL, Vegas isn’t trading him, and especially not for Nylander.

Dermott + a 2nd for taking on $41 million in dead cap. 🤣

Why not?

Exactly, If i were Armstrong i'd be asking for 4 1st round picks to take on that much money. If not even more.

goalies

Isn’t a contract termination free? The Yotes can send him through unconditional waivers and it won’t cost them a penny.

Based on the Marleau trade, it would cost 6 and a half 1sts to move $41 million.

But Mitch needs to agree to terminate the contract. You can’t just terminate without a player’s permission, unless they broke a law or a team rule (like not showing up to training camp, or not reporting to the AHL).

I heard Ovi wants a 12x7 contract on his next deal so gave it to him. I understand that as he ages he may become more one dimensional, but his shot is not going to disappear. I think he has what it takes to score 50 for another decade.

Excellent point, I stand corrected 6 1st round picks it is.

Where on earth did you hear that? He’s not playing for 7 years, in a recent interview it seemed like the max. he would stay in the NHL is 5 more years. And again, he’s said he would never sign anywhere other than Washington.
