Mathews will be looking for 12.5


As per TSN

including players that signed contracts over 4 or 5 years ago is not fair.

Post what the % of the cap hit was when they signed it.
Example. Jamie benn signed for 5.2 when the cap was 65 mil. which is 8%

8% of the cap today is 6.4

Also Nylander has out produced Benn at the same age

Different circumstances...Benn was the best player/top 2 on his team...Willie is top 5?

I'd give Willie $6.5.....but the word is he wants $2m more then what the Leafs are offering...He's not worth $8m/yr IMO.

And if those guys were negotiating a long term deal now many would be getting a lot more money.

also good on the Avs for signing NM before he exploded

Start at 12.5.
End up at 8million

Not that I disagree with your claim Garnie but....

Should Nylander take a pay cut because he's playing on a stacked team?

If he was playing for.... let's say Ottawa or Montreal, he'd be their best young star player.

It’s better than having crappy players and 80$ million in cap space like Ottawa.

Yes, but he'd have to live in Ottawa or Montreal, so he'd probably end up killing himself by about the 4th year.

So getting paid less by Toronto still makes sense.

Wow.

I mean I agree about Ottawa.

But Montreal is a really fun city.

Oh...

You meant dying of cocaine abuse....

Right....

No, right, I agree then.

Carry on.

Yes, if he wants to play on a stacked team. If not we can't afford him and I'm just guessing...but he's gone before JT/Matthews or Marner.

JMO.

I don't think he's anywhere close to Benn when it comes to total package either.

Do the Kostitsyn brothers still live there then...?

God I hate people who ride bikes in Montreal.

- lumlums

I don't think it matters really.

You can take the Kostitsyn's out of Montreal, but you can't take the Montreal out of the Kostitsyn's.
