Ya.. even 7x7 I'm happy..

Who knows what he'll command tho

- Arctic_AARDVARK

Other than teams that are poop who will have the cap space for that? He's not worth 7. Even though he'd make them better you can't win a cup if you overpay for guys.

7x7 is pretty much my cut off. Not because I don't think that he deserves a contract like that, but due to our own internal cap management. If we had fewer rookies then I'd be more flexible.

Matthews is getting max..

Marner a tad less..

Nylander bridge deal..

I think the Leafs an afford to take on a huge contract for a #1D, the only question is, is Shats the guy you want?

I honestly don't see any reasonable way to get anybody else.


And Shats really is better than most seem to give him credit for

Over the last four seasons he's 4th in PPG (behind Burns, Karlsson, Letang; minimum 150 games played). I honestly don't think that the Leafs will ever be a D-first team with this set-up, but he suppresses shots against well also. If they could somehow snag Josh Manson also that'd be super

And Hamhuis for Nylander!

Wily vet, good in the room, calms down the rookies, gets the booth near the pinball machines at Chuck E. Cheese...

Sometimes he has flashes where he looks so good, other times he looks like Michael Grabner circa Sept 2015
