That was just great GMing. Dumbass is an inexperience dweeb that overpays.

Having too many good players sucks

It's so much easier being 20 million under the cap talking about how good all your prospects will be.

(frank) actually having good players to pay

4th most goals in the league since his 2nd season

not an elite scoring center

Matthews?

Marner for Tanev has got to be in the works as we speak.

Yep, the 8th year bs isn't even that important to players. In 8 years Tavares won't have a problem getting close to 10 mil. The cap will go up
- Santo_44

a team spending to the cap is paying each player 3.5 million on average next year lol. jeff finger wouldn't even be overpaid in 2018-19!

Matthews?
- Aussiepenguin

yeah he's even better

Matthews?
- Aussiepenguin

Why don't you (frank) off and worry about how much Jack Johnson is going to suck?

If Toews/Kane get 10.5, Tavares gets 11.
- Steven_Seagull

Toews shouldn't have got 10.5. Tavares?

yeah he's even better
- daeth

And they’re both ours, daeth. OURS! Hahahahahahahaha

we cant catch any breaks

used to have no good players, and now that the leafs do have good players they have to pay them what they are worth. it sucks man

Tavares should get 11. It’s fine. Not an overpayment.

Tavares has been top 5 In goals for C maybe twice since 12/13 or 13/14. A couple of those seasons he's been well out of the 5 if my memory serve so me. So he said not consistent year in year out. He's not elite.

I read that old news in the Pens blog every day......every.....(frank)ing.......day!

Yeah because we all know that Josh Bailey is a legit 71 point player...

11m is an underpayment.

And if he played with Barzal (i forget) then pick any of the other chumps he's dragged around on his line and put up great numbers.

So you have Ovechkin and Stamkos as the only elite goal scorers in the league I guess?

11m is an underpayment.
- PinkSock

Agreed - We know other teams offered him more money.

Laine is too ugly to qualify.

In the past 6 seasons he's 7th in scoring....

Players have down years. Ovi is a perfect example of that.

Take your sour grapes somewhere else

Tavares is 6th amongst active players in goals/game. (Minimum 200 goals).


1. Ovechkin
2. Stamkos
3. Crosby
4. Malkin
5. Nash
6. Tavares

I don't know if you think this is a safe place where anything goes, but it's not hon.

Hey guys. First of all, I would gladly take either player or both on my team. Do you really think that Marner should or would take less money than Matthews. Marner was your leader in scoring and was very effective in the playoffs for you guys. Any thoughts?
