Bob McKenzie on TSN690 says he expects Jack Johnson to get in the neighbourhood of 6M per year, give or take a million. Expects the Canadiens to be interested.

Breaking: Leafs to sign Jack Johnson, multi year deal expected...

McBackup's stats were at the top of the league last year.

GAA and SV%.

- Atomic Wedgie


Sparks should be the backup if they are forced to make a decision.

Trade McElhinney..assuming you can anything for him. 35 yo goalie with a career .909 sv%. He was good last season but does he do that again? doubtful

The Leafs drafted sparks and have put a ton of time and development into him. Would seem odd to just bail, especially after putting up some alltime numbers in the AHL this season. The Leafs have to also think past Andersen. Mcbakcup wont be around then

You won't get a bucket of pucks for Sparks.

You won't get an empty puck bucket for McElhinney.

It's just the nature of the market - those goalies have no value.

The smart, safe move would be to dumb McElhinney and go with Sparks.

But I don't know - I realize I'm being completely irrational here, but to me, McElhinney was the better goalie last year. Hell yes, apples and oranges, but still...

So OEL is also going to play 20+ seasons with the same franchise and not win anything?

Not sure why anyone else would want to do that..

Lousy hockey players, they are loyal af.

Why can't they be more like basketball players and switch teams every couple of years?

- PatC80

I doubt its about loyalty.
Complacency and he likes the area.
No expectations or pressure.

you are probably right on the trade value. unless they could package them with another low end prospect and get another 7th. Teams do need cheap reliable backups.

So Marner - who finished 39th in the league in scoring last year - is going to become top 5 in salary this year - on a bridge deal?

Yeah.

OK.

10million for mathews.
8.75million for marner.

i don't expect there will be more than 5% difference on those numbers

No guarantees he's staying in Arizona.

Does he like Houston? Quebec City?

I dont see it. I assume Marner and Nylander come in around 7 each
Matthews 10-11.

Love Marner but he is not in Matthews league
