Dahlin might be making more than $10M per starting next season.
- kingcong39

I was hoping to see him at 10 or less but I agree.

The longer it goes on the more expensive he gets too

RFA, of course.

This time, he was going to be a UFA.

What do you think Tage was signing for if he had waited until after this past season?

Much more than $7M per would've been my guess.

Overall, Adams hit the timing right, which means every season you are getting more value out of a contract then the AAV is a wasted season if you don't win the cup, and especially if you don't even make the playoffs.

He is a year away from it. Its semantics at this point. Matthews has now signed two contracts that are not team friendly

I dont think its a good contract untill the cap goes up significantly, by that time he will be a year away from another extension

Another contract they are wasting.

They wasted four contracts last season.

Oh yea he would gave been paid more for sure. No one can take away the tage or cozens contracts from adams.

Time is running out to hit a home run with dahlin

Unless levi is a star, as it stands theres a good chance they are wasting them this year too

That's something that should be unacceptable.

Auston Matthews = $13.25 million AAV

Tage Thompson + Dylan Cozens = $14.24 million AAV

He did a hell of a job, truly.

Now he needs to finish it

- ieetbred

Well I don't think he needs to be a star right of the bat. It's up to this coaching staff to put a system in place to help him. He just needs to be good, let's hope the Coaching and teammates help him become that Star.

Skinner still showing up elitely 5-on-5

He doesn't make over 10? Or do I not have this right

Why in the fück would he sign a "team friendly" deal?

Would you go to your boss and say "hey, you know what? I'm making too much money, here's some back, and going forward I'll take a 20% pay cut."? No that's fücking stupid.

I didnt say he should ffs. I hate the leafs and I dont give a poop really I wanted him to walk so I could laugh at them

Hes great. Its a contract that will continue to make it harder for them to fill out their roster

Tavares deal is up in 2 seasons, and like every other good team, they can hide as much money as needed on LTIR.

Weird we haven't heard even a peep on that. Whatever is going on is being kept very quiet.

Adams is too busy wondering if Krebs will ever be good enough to be a 3rd line center to focus on signing Dahlin

Krebs has more to give. He was held down being on the 4th line. He’s not a grinder but got valuable playing minutes.

Adams and granato rather have him play then sit in the press box
- Sabretooth9

Wait, so ypo u g players can gain valuable experience playing lighter minutes pn the 4th line without being knuckle draggers?
Holy shot, next you'll tell me that Kane had some kind of surgery keeping him from signing as a FA.
Radical stuffing coming out of here.

Because he wants the team around him to be better? Contenders get guys to take less to help the team all the time.

Its not a hot take its a stat. Whether it will continue to be one will be determined. I assume when the cap goes up it might change
- ieetbred

Would this take be better off if the Cap% was used?
Especially when Joe ushered in the Inflation Growth Act

Rather trade Krebs and keep all our prospects and I like Krebs

Is there actual proof of that?

It would seem so, yeah. Here's a quote from a guy who took less and won the whole thing:

“We have guys that we wouldn’t (otherwise) be able to bring in,” MacKinnon said. “On my next deal, I’ll take less again. Because I want to win with this group.”

His cap hit is 12.6 per year. The highest cap hit In The league and is making 16 mil a year for the first three years of that deal.

I call BS.
