Agree totally, Toronto faces the task of signing both Matthews and Marner next June and that will be a tall order particularly with Marner having a banner year. #3 for the NHL scoring lead.The Leafs have no choice but to trade Nylander in my opinion if they want to keep the rest of the team intact. The Hawks were in the same situation and made trades they probably didn't want to make.
Love the name calling Del Gottago, mind if I share it?
I didn’t invent that name, just found it appropriate. I, like most Canuck fans were horrified when they started the season with the same defense and goaltending but I think maybe the team didn’t want to do too well so they can be in the running for the other Hughes brother or a least another draft high for at least another year before their young guts start jelling.
Yeah that was the beginning of the end.
Hey what about them Leafs
Well Tavares makes $11M, and the young stars all need to be signed next year with the experts thinking that they will be in the same range.
Agree but knowing how the league is influenced they will undoubtably increase the cap just in time for the Leafs to fit everyone in.Similar as the Oilers and the lottery draft. I almost would bet money on it.
19-8-0 without their best player for most of it and now signed another future all star. Ive got for some plans for that $100.Well Tavares makes $11M, and the young stars all need to be signed next year with the experts thinking that they will be in the same range.
Nylander is probably the 6th best player on the team at 7...the math doesn't add up.
They still won't win the Cup this year without some major improvement on the back end. My $100 is looking good
Hell no we won't insult them and pay them like a herring fisherman, we are going to pay them big bucks like a Tofino Guide
Stizzla no just dropping in once in awhile or you will get banned and i think FishT already spent your money on some fine Tofino bud. Nucks are making a drive for another top pick again by the looks of it.
Yup, the Canucks are going to get another piece to the puzzle with a high pick the next draft.Hell no we won't insult them and pay them like a herring fisherman, we are going to pay them big bucks like a Tofino Guide
WHATYup, the Canucks are going to get another piece to the puzzle with a high pick the next draft.
FYI, Jackel and Stizzla.... $100 doesn't go far in the medicinal world anymore
Anything to help the Leafs win a cup is much appreciated
With the Oilers I was referring only to the draft lottery not the cap. Unfortunate Hall was traded as you are right it was directly related to the cap. That's my point only in Toronto.
Your welcome and if any Canadian team is in a position to win the cup I will be happy with that.Anything to help the Leafs win a cup is much appreciated
Is Marner, Matthews and Reilly worth more than Nylander? Probably, with Tavares making 11m that looks like cap hell. There is already talk they are going to lose Gardiner this summer because they won’t be able to re sign him.
Still think they have structured the Nylander deal to trade him to a team like Carolina in the summer. Nylander is just a $20 million rental for the leafs this year! Carolina needs scoring, after this year with all the up front money Nylanders gets, his cap hit is 6.9, but Carolina is a budget team and doesn't care about that, they only care what they are on the hook to have to actually pay him, which is less than 5 million for 5 more years. Replaces the scoring they lost when they traded Skinner because they knew they would lose him as a UFA this year, and they can afford to part with a top 4 defenceman like Pesce. Leafs can still probably sign Marner, Mathews, Kapanen and add a defenseman from Carolina which they desperately need. Once they shed Marleau's salary (trade) and Hainsey's (UFA) that frees up 9.2 Million.yeah they might only have 4 young superstars for the next 6 years. Not 5
