Maybe that's why Melnyk is throwing forty-nine million bills at him; he thinks that the weight lost from that will help it keep floating

Bobby Ryan will walk, and Melnyk will cite the money he offered as a reason why he can't pay somebody else to stay.

That has nothing to do with it.

Players always think theyre worth more than they are. Dave Bolland turned down 4.9 million offer from Toronto

And got less on the open market? You're not very good at this.

No you don't, I will post a spreadsheet.

flowchart, please

Well, it all depends on who yah draft. What if the pick the Leafs used on Biggs ended up to be Boone Jenner?



Im just saying. Kadri, a first rounder and Franson for RJ is an overpayment imo.

Especially when Kadri is putting up similar numbers while playing on the 2nd line instead of the first.

either way it was an Oshawa General and i'd be happy

No you don't, I will post a spreadsheet.
- LeafMan

never enough Pie graphs and spreadsheets around here

He might of scored 30 goals, but kadri is more of a player maker.

Will he be better? Sure. By a lot? Probably not.

Kadri, a first, and Franson is an overpayment for him.


Imagine if that first ended up to be a prospect like Nylander?

That'd be Nylander, Kadri, and Franson for Johasen.

Is it worth it? I dont think so. imo

You missed the part that said players are worth more than they are..


And just because someone gave him 5.5, doesn mean he's worth it.

I'm pretty sure Nylander can just drive himself to the arena, if not the bus or cabs I imagine.

Likely within the next 2-3 years.

So he isnt a legit NHL center? Oh, ok. Because you asked me what my plan was to get an actual LEGIT first line center.

Not someone who is supposed to become one.

You missed the part that said players are worth more than they are..
- jbold

You missed the part where you said players THINK they're worth more than they are, then cited Bolland turning down a 4.9mill offer. You then conveniently left out the part where he was obviously right because another team offered him more.

I would suggest you google the definition of plan.

Was right?

Just because Bolland got 5.5, doesnt mean he's worth it..


Is Clarkson worth the contract he got?


Like I said, players usually think theyre worth more than they are. Which is why they're usually he ones to budge.

I think he is, which makes him better already than all our Cs

When did Johanssen turn into a legit first line center?
