Leafs can manage paying four forwards 10 million plus for one year. After that, JT's contract will be half of what it is, plus the cap will continue to go up.
Knies, Robertson, Minten and Cowan have all proven they can contribute in a top 9 role. And there's still plenty of cap left to address the blueline.
I never said either of those things. For me to suggest that IF a player stays going at the same pace as he is now would command higher money is not illogical. You're just being a troll and being rude.
Go pound sand big guy.
Matthews has won the Hart & Rocket, scored 60 goals and had pretty much led the league in actual and expected goals per min since he became a pro. He’s a big, skilled #1 centre and arguably 2nd best player in the world. Willy has scored 40 one time and never finished top 20 in points. Willy is a great player - I love him - but to publicly state he might ask and deserve Matthews money is reprehensible and deserves criticism. Sorry bud.

So Willy is on pace for 57 goals and 72 assists for 129 pts. Will he get that? doubt it. I said if he continues on that pace, he would be asking for closer to what matthews is making, which is 11.6m. Saying he would ask for closer to 11.6 vs 10.5 if he puts up those numbers this year is not illogical at all. You can disagree but no need to be rude.

Sorry if I was rude, but thercis just mco reasonable way Nylander gets into Matthews territory. It’s frustrating to see Leafs fans buy into the hype (often from rival fans who love nothing more than to stir up sh$t for Leafs fans, #rentfree) - Nylander is great player (we are lucky to have him) but 17 games is not enough to move a player from great to superstar

That's a you problem if you're frustrated with Leafs fans. I am not arguing that he should get paid after 17 games, I'm saying if he stays at this pace.
