I bet Arizona already has an offer sheet in place for that. And yes it is crazy - look at cap friendly, they could easily afford to do it, and it might fill their building. It would be good business for them.

Idk, just seems nuts. Arizona is the only team it might make sense but I don’t think they’d need to go as high as 16. Wouldn’t blame Matthews for taking such a deal though

Oh so he knew he was getting 119 million when he signed that deal with the Islanders. I am not really close with him so I didn't know that.

#NylanderWatch

You asked if they talked about if he regrets taking a team friendly deal. He ended up signing with his favorite childhood team and who is a cup contender and will have made over 119 million. So to answer your question he probably doesn't regret taking that contract. You suck at trolling.

You do know how regret works right? Why am I asking you obviously don't.

You don't have regret based on what the outcome of a totally different event occurs many years later. Regret is based on being in that same situation and doing things differently. You suck at thinking.

You're right life sucks for Tavares. He's made so many mistakes.

If you won the lottery would you regret turning down a high paying job early in your life.

It's crazy but possible, and shows why the cap is such bullsh!t for teams like the Leafs. It's also why neither Marner and Matthews should be allowed to get to July 1 without a deal.

The witching hour...

Leafs give Arizona money. Arizona takes that money and offers it to matthews.

Plenty of folks take a bit less early in their career in order to make more later.

Troll harder.

Yes, that is how regret works.

If you committed a crime, went to prison for 40 years then was released and won the lottery....you are saying you wouldn't have regret committing the crime? You are a special kind of loony.

So Marner should sign a 6 year contract worth 30 million then. It makes sense since he will be making 15 million per after the contract expires.

yes - welcome the salary cap world, where the mouch teams get all the benefits.

It could be done. The structure could already be in place.
- Fakepartofme

and it is likely uncomplicated, it not like there is nmc to be negotiated they could put together a deal pretty quickly I would think.

When is that genius knuckle dragging bag of puss Holmgren going to sign another piece of sh!t goalie for $7M X 7????????????????

P.S. Happy Trolls to you.... before we meet again..........

I'm not saying he deserves it coming out of entry level and with his position but I'm sure his agent will push the fact that he's more valuable to the leafs than Tavares. It's always Marner driving the play on that line.
- HealthyScratch6

I think it doesn't matter what the agent or his dad pushes.

IF he is asking for more than his comparables, then it is tough to side with him.
(nobody knows though what has really been discussed)


Also, Tavares is here, he took less to come here. I am not convinced the Leafs can afford Nylander anyway.

Not surprising.
- TrashPanda

I left 2 solid bites of a Big Mac in the bin last night. It might still be there!

Is Nylander eligible to play tonight after he signs?

If Matthews refuses to sign, there is nothing the Leafs can do. If he knows he can sign a max offersheet from AZ or MTL and he intends to do just that, then the Leafs are F'd.

So is this one different than the other 15 other threads I talk in?

Logic = trolling

Got it!

Doubt very much he wants to go elsewhere. He has a great situation here, I would think he will be captain of the team after he signs and winning a cup in TO would be not only monumental for Leaf Nation, the revenues would go through the roof.
