Sujet: CJ says Nylander is going to get north of 11M
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>JT was not an overpay. It was the market at the time. Matthews and Marner were never overpaid either. They are and have always been valuable contracts because of what they can do. What hurt the Leafs was the pandemic keeping the cap down. To deny that is basically being a flat earther. Had the cap gone up the way it was supposed to the leafs would have been able to add more depth in FA. They could have kept Hyman and others. No one saw it coming and the fact that TO remained competitive was a testament to the management of the team not an indictment. Also calculator boy was Pridham who is still with the team. We all get it, you hate Dubas more than you like hockey but this constant attacking him while he's not even with the organization and blaming him for Treliving's bad decisions is silly.</div></div>

I'm not taking the other guys side here. But since when is it not an overpayment to pay 11mil per to a barely ppg center who is ofc going to be the teams 2nd line C, I mean come on.
And to sign both Marner and Matthews at close to 11 the year after, no those two contracts in a vacuum aren't as over the top as Tavares, but it doesn't take Nostradamus to figure that it's going to be hard to fill out the roster when you're giving out all these deals.
It would have been a tough job even if the cap had gone up as expected.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NYR1983</b></div><div>1st, 2nd, 3rd is probably enough as is. Jones and Korczak is overkill adding both. 1 of them as a sweetener would do. Horvat and Meier were on pace for 50 goals last year. Horvat got a mid 1st, a mid 1st prospect who doesn’t look like he’s going to be anything special, and beau who’s now a cap dump. Personally I wouldn’t go after Lind myself, we need a 3C if Chytil is done. I’m looking at Kevin Hayes for a low pick.</div></div>

Well ok, but it isn't 1st, 2nd and 3rd though, the Rangers get a likely better 3rd back plus Gilbert who cancels out one of the prospects.
So it essentially is 50% retained Lindholm for a probably late 2025 1st, 2nd and two prospects who don't look like much now. That feels meager to me.
Going after Hayes is an interesting thought, would be alot cheaper and likely a good idea. I'd like Hayes on the Rangers again(?).
