Cap is facked. Matthews is getting mcdavid money and nylander and marner are now worth 10+. Can't keep em all now.

Nope no chance. History repeats itself. Malkin Crosby had to go. Kane and Toews had to go. Doughty Kopitar same. Even now McDavid has forced the Oilers to lose Draisitl. Always happens. Stars go b listers stay.

So twitter is telling me that marleau is a 3rd liner at best that got 1st line minutes and not to worry about yr 3, worry more about yr1. Compares to clowe and clarkson and other trash contracts that didn't live up to their billing.

Called it instantly the worst contract in the league. Lol

I've never really seen a team truly (frank)ed by the cap. Chicago I guess, but then they reupped Panik. Rangers, Wild, Blues, Kings, Caps all been said to be in Cap hell. Doesn't look like they're affected at all. Rangers added Shattenkirk and the Caps gave Oshie a monster deal. I'm sure Pridham was called about the Marleau addition.

So, if I am doing this correctly, depth chart on LW is:

JVR
Marleau
Komarov
Martin
Hyman
Leivo
Rychel

Not enough spots on the bench.

So burke and nonis are back with the leafs?
Back to signing old guys.
A 37 year old making over 8 million. Oh boy.
Well marleau seems like hes durable. We'll see.
Maximus should be happy.

Marleau replaces JVR's production and what JVR would expect on a new deal. JVR becomes an asset, with one year left at a good cap hit, with an opportunity to flip him for a top 4 defender.

There will be injuries and trades. And a spot on the Marlies for the last two if need be.

He had less points than Bozak last year.

And this year, he will be a year older than last year.

Good line from the Toronto Star:

"Marleau, one of coach Mike Babcock’s favourites from their days together with Team Canada, could very well be the left winger for Auston Matthews, who was 14 days old when Marleau played his first NHL game."

The new internet fad hot takes for the NHL are pretty much just instant hatred of every single contract signed ever because:

a) they could totally do better in Be a GM mode in NHL 17
b) hockey is a sport played by horses that be statically analyzed by math
c) leadership and team dynamic can't be graphed so they can't exist

Really getting tired.
