Sujet: Why is Aho not a comparable
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div><strong>Personally I think TO's cap situation will soon be the envy of the league.</strong> The one thing everyone seems to not notice, or are willfully ignoring is that TO is still young. They are just entering their window of contention and have zero bad contracts left on the team. Tampa can say our stars make less all they want but they have several 5 M dollar contracts given to depth guys and half of their stars are approaching or are over 30 and could start declining before too long. Stars making star money is never a problem, depth guys who can be replaced with just as good cheaper options are a problem.

Guys like Palat, Gourde, Johnson etc make too much and in some cases are getting a tad old and this is where Tampa could get into trouble. TO does not have that problem at all.</div></div>

Every team has bad contracts. They come and go just as the Leafs had to find ways to get out from under them this off season. That came at a cost. The bad teams are the ones who keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

I think the envy of the league is a bit rich. Eventually when the team will start having to cut cost to keep those big name players so the depth will take a hit. Reilly is up for contract soon, so is Andersen. Barrie and Muzzin are gone this off season unless an (Normal UFA) overpay happens. Considering this team hasn't won a round yet, I think it'll be the envy once they show they're all worth that money together.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>That isn't correct, what is also not mentioned or known is how bonus money is paid. For all we know they are paid these bonuses in stock options or several other ways that would provide big tax savings. Also having money up front allows investment of funds that will see much larger gains than having less paid over a longer period. Fans on here like to pretend they know it all but the reality is 95% of what goes into contracts isn't at all known by the fans, media or even players. Agents are essentially lawyers and contracts are filled with information that is way too complex for the media to report on so fans just go off about 5% of the story.

Anyways all this is moot, in any other market, Marner asking for what he is asking would be met with universal scorn. But he is in TO and half of the fans who drive attention to TO actively hate the team. Its such a weird microcosm in the NHL.</div></div>

That is correct. They are facts, facts means they are factual they cannot be challenged

You get taxed on bonuses, and you get taxed more on the big lump sums than you do if you take it in smaller incriments. Have you ever seen a written NHL contract? There REALLY isn't much to it, you're trying to make it out to be this big 300 page thing, but it REALLY isn't. It's quite simple to get a hold of. Anyway I digress.

Marner is asking for what he is because his agent wants to get as much money as he can for his player, the agent is just doing his job, Marner probably doesn't give a shiny sh*t about what he makes, he just wants to get on the ice somewhere, hence he's in Norway or Denmark or somewhere right now. It's the agent doing what he does, and Marner getting the stick for it

Sujet: How much is Rantanen worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBJ4CUP</b></div><div>Sure, I agree that this isnt out of the norm..

but no player, no coach, no gm likes when a player misses training camp as it feels like they set him back... so unless it gets signed this week or early next i cant see it being as close as some may imagine</div></div>

oh for sure, its inexcusable if he misses a day of training camp but that isnt always on the management side of things for a stall in a contract. The player takes a risk by doing that if they think sitting out will put the fear into the team and meet more of their demands jsut to get him in camp.

If he isnt signed a few days before camp I can agree with that, then something majorly wrong happened and I would expect a longer hold out. From Sakics presser a couple weeks ago and from the info BSN Denver was hinting around about things are close...I would be shocked and disappointed since all the signs are there that this thing was almost done.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CBJ4CUP</b></div><div>Im not saying he wont sign with the avs I do think he will..

But training camp is what 2 weeks away? The time is ticking... rantenens camp is waiting for someone else to sign to do a comparable.

But its not unrealistic to think they should be trying to work on the contract through out the summer, and not take vacation... thats like having a huge project at work and you taking a vacation... thatd be unacceptable</div></div>

framework cant be done earlier, they dont need to be hammering things out every day during the summer if they have the general parameters in place, thats my point. If they have already have some good bones to a new deal already set early in the summer, they probably can just shelf things and pick them up before camp starts.

Dont get me wrong I would love to have him sign his contract today but I dont think this is out of the norm, before the offseason even started, we were warned that dont be suprised if this drags out into September, it happens every year that a group of RFAs do this.
