<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Nope, Nylander was paid right in the middle of his com parables. Matthews literally has no comparable for how he scores goals (IE the best player at it at even strength in the entire NHL), and the only close comparable is McDavid who decided on his own to take a massive discount so he really isnt a comparable at all.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JeffW</b></div><div>Only market value contract was tavares
Out of the big 4</div></div>

None of those contracts are market value unless you're comparing the bad contracts that are thrown around ruining cap for other teams. McDavid makes 12.5 and Edmonton is pushed against the cap ceiling unable to compete.

Same with SJS and LA with Karlson and Doughty. Did you notice that as soon as Kane and Toews both signed their Massive 10.5M extensions that Chicago started going out of their cap window?

Teams will have trouble competing with these massive contracts one, can be lived with but multiple is too rough. With the way the cap is now 10M is reasonable but when teams start pushing multiple players at 11M and 12M that's when the playoff picture becomes unattainable due to the inability to have role players on these teams.

Everybody makes the comparison to the percentage of Crosby and Malkins contracts to the cap back when they signed their deals to now with the new deals being signed. But the problem with that is that after signing those to contracts with the best 1-2 center punch in the league, a top 5 goalie and top end defenseman at the time they still went on a 7 year cup drought. Untill the cap went up and they were able to sign key role players like Nick Bonino Hornquist, ect. to replace the guys they couldn't afford after their first cup like Jordan Stall.

It's not that the contracts that are being signed are bad contracts, but its that teams with these massive are going to have to wait to compete on them until the cap goes up and they can get role players to be able to be fit in around them. It's one of the reasons Chicago was so good for so long, that they refused for a long time to give out big extensions, Keith and Seabrook used to be on great contracts. Toews and Kane waited for their massive contracts.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Nylander, Johnsson, Kapanen, Spezza, Kerfoot and Muzzin are all on 'team friendly' deals. They arnt steals, but they are not even remote over payments. Tavares took less money from toronto than offered by other markets and Matthews contract is fine. Marner is the only over pay. And the funny thing about having 4 elite scoring players is that you do need to pay them like that, especially when they all come due at the same time. The only one of those Dubas had any control over was Tavares.
Next year Tampa has the same issue only 9.5 million of theirs is taken up by a goalie who isnt worth that. They are also paying 3 guys 5+ million to play in their bottom 6 most games. I'd rather over pay Marner by 2 million than over pay Palat, Killorn, Mcdonagh and Tyler Johnson by 1.5 million each, or Jamie Benn and Joe Pavelski by 3 million each, or Bobrovski, Matheson Yandle and Straleman by 3 million each.
at least the leafs players are earning their money most nights</div></div>

Muzzin is signed at 5.6 until he is 35. That is not team friendly, Johnsson and Kappenen have bridge deals that are market value I.E not cap friendly. Spezza is a team friendly contract, and Kerfoote is an over payed 3C, Toronto can not afford to pay their 3C more than 3M when their top two make a combined 22M. So the only 'Team friendly' Contract was Spezza.

Toronto screwed them selves with Kadri they had a great 2C (50-60pt excellent two way center) on an amazing contract that they completely got screwed up when signing Tavares. As nice of a player Tavares was to come along he completely screwed up their cap situation. That is why you rarely see big name free agents moving in the offseason cause it either screws up teams or teams that are competing cant afford it, and when a lot of money is given to FA's it tends to back fire, look at Pavelski, Backes, Lucic, Neal, ect. Instead of Matthews wanting 10M like Eichel, he immediately wanted more than Tavares. Then instead of Marner wanting 9M like Rantenen or even lower he jumped up cause everyone else was payed more. Without Tavares Toronto Essentially would have saved roughly 15M on the cap and would be able to bolster their defense and have a much more complete lineup. Instead now with each season they become more top heavy, they still have no defense and no plan going forward with how too deal with upcoming UFA's, they only thing they can do is pray the Cap Jumps up significantly, WHICH it will not do with the economy the way it is right now.

Either way back to the original topic of this conversation, Mikheyev the same as Zaitsev when he came over as a 24 year old will be getting a reasonable contract for 3 years similar but slightly less than Danton Heinen or he will take 1 year at roughly 1.5M to prove him self before another big jump. Otherwise he will go back to the KHL.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Dubois and strome aren’t in the same conversation. Without panarin, strome is a replacement level player. Dubois isn’t elite , but he’s an average 1C.

Lindgren is ok. He’s better suited for a 3rd pairing role right now , but it is possible he can be a solid 2nd pairing Dman in a few years.

The rangers have a few elite pieces and they’re exciting to watch, but without panarin they are a bottom 5 team. He has played a role in 41 % of Rangers goals. That is insane. In order to make it past the 1st rd , they’ll need to get a top pairing LD that is solid defensively and a 2C. Signing panarin and kreider indicates that they want to win now, so these moves should be made sooner than later. If not, the rangers will continue to be an exciting bubble team</div></div>

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Strome and Dubois are on the same level but they are in terms of offensive ability, and your argument was that it was because Strome is playing with Panarin that he was getting these points, well that's what they said about Dubois as well and Strome has roughly the same numbers with Panarin.

The difference between Strome and Dubois is that Dubois IMO will be one of the best 2-Way centers in the game within the next 3 years.

Their defense is just fine with one of Trouba or DeAngelo playing their off side on the top pair and Lindgren on the second. Their biggest issue with them being a bubble team is keeping Zibanejad healthy, when he's healthy they are by and large a playoff team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SammyT_51</b></div><div>They have 4.5M in cap space + additional 2.5-3.5 depending on who and what for they trade from forward group. Dermott would take max 2.5, Mikheyev too, rest is below 1M contracts. Thats doable pretty nicely. As for defense.. thats an issue for sure. (I think they trade Marner for D and similar forward, but they might not). Dermott and Muzzin has been great. Holl has been very meh after he signed his contract but solid before, Sandin and Liljegren are developing still but they are promising. Rielly is what Rielly is.. offensive machine. They showed flashes that they can be defensively responsible team in tight games. Consistency in it? LOL far away. I think they would be able to get a D help this summer (dunno how) and IMO they would get Freddie signed in summer to deal similar to what Fleury signed with Vegas 7-7.5 for 3 years. Not a Bobrovsky/Price contract for sure. Campbell has been solid since joining Leafs. They also didnt jeopardized their future (but that Marner contract would sting a lot).</div></div>

Just to be clear. What you are suggesting gives the leafs about 8M in cap space. They have to replace 6 players in there lineup. 4 Forwards and 2 Dmen. If the replace all 6 with an average of 1M per player that is 6M leaving them with 2M in cap space. First of all they won't be able to replace them all at that little of value. Second of all their defense just got one heck of a lot worst. and lastly in the following years (1-2) they have to resign Andersson, Reilly, Lindgren and Sandin. They cannot do it, the leafs cannot magically have entry level contracts on their terrible blue line forever.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Strome is a product of panarin. Panarin is a top 3 winger in the game and he has the rare ability to carry average players. Only other players that have that ability are McDavid, Tavares , and Crosby. Strome’s underlying numbers are terrible - he can’t drive a line and he’s one of the worst defensive centers in the NHL. The rangers should have traded him before the deadline, but if they plan to keep him around as a stopgap, they’d be crazy to give him anything more than a 1 year deal.

I’m not sure chytil will develop into a 2C. I see him as a very solid 3. The rangers best bet is trading for a 2C like Dylan strome or max domi.

The only rangers defenseman that is solid defensively is Adam fox. He’s a stud and he’ll be a top pairing D sooner than later - trouba was a replacement level defenseman this season and while deangelo is elite offensively, he’s clueless in his own zone. The rangers do not have anyone in their left side that is top 4 caliber and no one in their system is changing that for next season.</div></div>

people said the same about Dubois with Panarin but he is doing the exact same without him, and Strome doesn't even play full time with Panarin they've had him at 2C the majority of the season. IMO they have a good 1-2 punch with Zibanejad and Strome right now as Andersson , Chytil and Howden develop.

As for their defense. trouba , fox, and DeAngelo are all solid top 4 defenseman. and IMO Lindgren has been solid as well, plays physical, responsible in his own zone and very rarely coughs up the puck.
