Thorny Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Edited September 13, 2019 by Thorny Just shy of 11 per, they say. Making Jack’s deal look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think the Leafs leaking that he turned down 11 did the job. 2 minutes ago, Brawndo said: 10.983 AAV for Marner 10.893, but who’s counting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great to hear at least. I wonder if he is just thinking about stepping out and retiring. I sure hope not. Trouba, Buff and Myers was our right side last season. I was expecting Poolman to make the third pair this year but holy, this isn't good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right. They're going to be desperate They should be desperate now. They consider themselves contenders and their 3-4-5 guys are a guy who barely made the Rangers and two who couldn’t make the Sabres? Ouch. If the Leafs don’t win this year, or if one of their big three falls short of elite, they are ***** for the next 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Going in to the summer I thought Marner would be at $10m. I ended up being convinced he would sign closer to $12m. $11m seems about right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 I hope tavares marner and Matthews are all healthy for the next 5 years. If one of them goes down for any time that team is fuuuuuuuuuuuuucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repster Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 When Hyman returns in November, they will be $2.25 over the cap. They now have to do something before that...bottom line is that I hope they choke in the playoffs again this year. Boston always seems to take care of business, but Tampa better be there as a back-up this time if needed. Another first round exit might be the end for Babcock. I can only hope. I wish it was the Sabres that would be their kryptonite but reality is that I hope we get in as a wild card at best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveoath Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 (edited) I'm hesitant wish ill on the Leafs when we consider that we will be paying Dahlin in a couple of seasons. 9, 53 + 26 will be making a huge chunk of our cap too, no?

LGR4GM Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Botterill should be on the phone trying to trade for Point or trying to get him to sign an offer sheet at 8.4million. Actually I'd go up to 10.5 on an offer sheet. Sadly we don't have our 3rd round pick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'd go up to 10.5 on an offer sheet. Sadly we don't have our 3rd round pick. This is why I don't like Botterill's offseason. I think if he had capspace, he could make a trade with Tampa, instead he spent his capspace until he ran out. I've been thinking about how the cap affects what I call the development sine wave. Before the cap, when you're good (at the top of the sine wave), you trade your futures to increase you present value, which inevitably leads to having a bad team (the bottom of the sine wave) 5 years out. With a cap, Tampa will be trading some of their present for futures to fit under their cap, thus making them better in 5 years, so eliminating the development sine wave. Does this make any sense? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Sounds like Laine is headed to Switzerland to train while he doesn't have a contract. 3 minutes ago, #freejame said: How does Spurgeon compare to Reinhart? I am expecting Sam to sign for a higher AAV than that. I was going to say it's very hard to compare a 29yo defenseman to a 23/24 yo forward, but when I think about it, Spurgeon is basically the Reinhart of defensemen. Forgettable to the rest of the league, quietly very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
