Over under on the Jays wins this season - 82.5

Go!

Should use this number for the number of games that Tulo plays this season.

Salaries are going up across the league. That's why a third/fourth liner makes more now than before. Salary calculators also don't count for inflation.

Tavares has to walk no?
what a waste of 9 years

still hard to compare to pre-cap days.

big market teams were running huge payrolls back then.

so might as well be on a good team and get paid

On their big ticket guys. Sakic was at like 16mil, Fedorov famously (as posted before) 28mil, but the lower tier guys didn't get the money. That's why they upped the league minimum and set the cap in play.

I'm guessing you already have half of your goal covered.

Put a big asterisk on that Fedorov salary, though - it was one year, and only because of ego wars.

I have to agree here. Unless JVR gets signed at 5 million or less per year it won't work in Toronto. I suspect he wants 7/year and he will get it somewhere else to be a fairly 1 dimensional player. (The only reason he doesn't get crapped on by media and fans is because his deal is so good right now)
- Aaron_85

Should offer him $6M X 5 and front-load the contract. Use him for next year, then trade him when it's time to pay Matthews and Marner. The team taking him would have a $6 million cap hit but would pay significantly less in real dollars. Might perk some interest in places like Carolina or New Jersey.

If the starters are healthy then I take the over.

Mark Recchi

$50,943,000

Matthews will get nothing short of 10m+ per year for the next 8 years.

I simply do not see any other alternatives
- Scabeh

I think that's it's the correct price point. The Leafs can round up some large endorsements for him to get him a few more millions to round up his earnings without maxing out the cap. If they can get Marner and Nylander for about 6.25 each X 8, then they'll be able to stay competitive for years.

i was just looking at selanne, mogilny, leclair, jagr and a few others.

looks like gm's started to get out of control circa 1998. poop hit the fan with the lockout.

10 million same as Eichel is fair

Well the salaries "start" at 2mil on some of these guys scoring 70 goals during the year. Seems a bit odd when others doing the same are making 5 mil. Does it include bonuses I wonder.

5-1 Leafs. Kadri, JVR, Nylander, Kadri, Johnsson.

Marner with 3 assists.

simpler times back then. owners could just cut a check whenever they please.

nowadays the leafs get scotiabank to launder their money.
