Honestly I think the best idea for the leaf is wait until free agency and sign Willy and extend Mitch to matching 11.25 million dollar contracts on the same day July 1st
Mitch might be worth more but I honestly believe he has learned from his mistake with his last contract. He pressed the leafs for as much money as he could get and honestly been over payed for years now considering comparable wingers like Rantanen and tkachuk make 9.5.
He got a lot of hate from his home town and I think taking not much of a raise would help his image in Toronto.
With John I definitely think he’ll be smart and sign a long term low AAV to retire as a leaf. If he took and 7year 3mil contract he would be loved. Massive cap relief for the team but John still gets big bucks with a front loaded bonus structure and when he’s too old just slap him on LTIR and the cap hit won’t affect the team. Would be the best thing for his legacy in toronto
