Leafs will never ever be able to sign any free agents because of the high tax rates. All free agents will be signing with Dallas, Nashville, Florida, Tampa Bay or Vegas. These 5 teams will be taking turns winning Stanley Cups for the next 20 years.

you forgot about Bruins as 6th team.
bc Boston are the bestest team ever

in the far fetched scenario that Tavares will not sign with Leafs, quite sure Kovalchuk will sign 2-3years with Leafs to replace JVR.

Tavares will sign a 7y @8million contract with Leafs.
Matthews 8y @8.5mln
Marner 8y @7mln
Nylander 6y @6mln
Fair deals if all get a NTC or NMC.

Kovy will get a one year deal like Radulov

And if he wants to maximize his dollars, and is confident in his ablilites than that's the right thing to do. He can make the most amount possible the first year and cash in the 2nd.

Now, in a world where the Leafs did sign Tavares....I think kovy would jump at the chance to sign a one year deal....to play on a winner and light it up with the Leafs fire power to get a good 2nd contract. And the leafs have the space.

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Kovalchuk-Tavares-Kapenen
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
Johnnson-UFA-Lievo

That just isn't fair

Agree.
Would play Marner with Tavares and Kovalchuk though.

NYR defied the laws of physics by getting the largest FA last season. Shattenkirk

With their high taxes I don't even know how this was possible

Kadri and Marner obviously works.

Part of the pitch is for Kovy to play with Tavares obviously. More balanced.

SHUT. THE. (frank). UP. ABOUT. TAXES.

Sent a shiver down my spine.

Obviously non of us really know but what would kovy be at this point? A 60 point player? He'd change Toronto's PP entirely though with his cannon from the point

Kovalchuk - Tavares - Marner line would be working as well for sure.

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Kovalchuk - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Brown
Johnsson - Komarov - Kapanen

Sent a shiver down my spine.

That's not a spine..

Book it female doges!

Sorry man I think you are dreaming.
If Matthews has a good agent, He'll be seeking a percentage of the cap for Matthews like other superstars got 15-17%.
Tavares will get north of 9.5 per
Agreed on nylander and marner 6-7 per max.
Forget kovalchuk. Too slow for our team.

Agree.
