Hard hard time reading it due to the deep reverberations here.

It will be interesting to see who gets kept for the forward ranks, unless the Leafs want to make some deep sacrifices on defence.

Marner gets 8.5+

Props to Matthews agent

That guy dominated Dubas in these negotiations.

give me a break rafi

well I guess since I was expecting 12...but its not like its uber cheap !

I can see Nylander on the way out, perhaps in June...

Why would he get cheap? He’s one of the top players in the league and dominant in almost every metric. He’s also only in his third year. He earned his money. This isn’t 2011 anymore.

Maybe earlier for Parayako?!

I'd say he took a bit of a discount. I figured he would get $12.5 and Marner would be around $11-$11.5

Kind of shocked on the term. I understand why Matthews would want that wit the cap going up but you'd think the leafs would have pushed for 8 years.

Gonna be interesting to see what Marner gets. I still think he gets around $11

Had to give poop for that.

Nylander and something for Parayako

10M will be considered cheap once the cap goes up even more bubs. Plus we arent cap strapped to the teets like you are. Like I said itll be fun to watch it all come crashing down on you, the rest of your guppies and the TSN blowhards like that powder puff eating Jeff ONeill better known as The Pillsbury O boy. You just better hope you win a cup so you can salvage your dignity

a Cup ? female dog please, let them win a round first !

If he can help get us a cup in the next 5 years, he can go play for the Habs after for all I care! I'll be happy. For years I didn't think we'd ever be good again! Were getting closer to being a really great team, still not quite there but itching closer! If we can land a cup between now and 2024, I'll be happy!

He won't get $11M, no way.

He will get between 9 and 10

Nylander and something for Parayako
- Glak18

Straight up deal is fair.

Nylander heating up too...6pts in last 5 games.

If he didn't miss anytime this year, would have probably been Parayko + for Nylander.

Nylander for Kronwall. Do it.

Cap hell? Ya mean we are in the same boat as tampa? I 'll take that. So many people on here talkin out thier arse. Go leafs go. Suck it haters

Nylander for Kronwall. Do it.
- RafiDRW

I wouldn't trade a retired Michael Nylander for Kronwall.

Good deal for Toronto.

Tavares has a lot of miles on him and probably will be in decline 6 years from now anyways. They have 5 more seasons after this one to try and win a Cup with 2 elite centres.

If they win a cup or 2, is anyone in Toronto going to be concerned about Matthews bolting at age 26? I doubt it.

Considering everyone thought he was signing an offer sheet with the Yotes in about 5 months, I can't imagine the fans being too concerned.

Good luck with the deffense

You know they trade Nylander and all this ordeal is settled.

How many NHL not named Tavares stars bolt their teams for UFA in the prime of their career? Chances of Matthews leaving at 26 are minuscule.

- RafiDRW

And I agree, but you are the one saying it was a good deal...

I think its just normal

He won't get $11M, no way.

He will get between 9 and 10
- Cooshie

He's an idiot if he takes anything less than $10M

Mark Stone should be about $9M-$9.5M (reportedly he was offered $9M x 8 years)
Matt Duchene should be about $8.5M -$9M (reportedly he was offered $8M x 8 years)

Marner is looking like he's going to be better than both and with the cap going up, He'd be crazy not too get over $10M
