Quoting: Killa93
You a till have Muzzin on your team. All players count against the cap until the season starts. A player can only be put on LTIR till after the season starts.
Ryan Reeves won’t be playing much so you need another player to take his spot.
Robertson is a LW
If you think that the leafs are going to sign Nylander for 10 as long as he shaves off one year then you’re wrong. If they don’t sign him, he’s gone.
Starting the season with 4 rookies on your team makes you brain dead Leaf fan of the year.
People post on here for fun. Try enjoying it.
Muzzin’s contract can be move in this instance. I’m not too informed about the nuances of the cap but last year we started with Lilly on LTIR (we would’ve been over had he not been), so I’m not sure why that can’t be applied to muzzin.
Robertson played the right side a lot on the marlies and actually showed a lot of success there.
My point about Nylander is that if he wants 10, another team can only offer him a maximum of 7 years. So, he’d ultimately make less money than if he were to take a 9x8 with us.
You’re acting like I signed Ryan Reaves. If treliving thought that we had to sign another player because “Reaves won’t play much” , then it’s a terrible signing in of itself. We don’t have the luxury of handing out more money to another player to “fill in” his spot.
And playing four rookies is something that has to be done given the nature of our cap situation. It’s impossible to find value in guys that are that cheap. And just because they’re “rookies” doesn’t mean they’re not a better option than a player that has more experience (of being a bad NHLer).
