Ovechkin signed his contract 11 years ago, when 9.5 million was 21.59% of the cap. No ones contract in the league at the moment even comes close.

Paul marner says hold my beer

Mcdavid and Matthews both took less than they deserved...It is pretty sweet.

I can't wait for one of these Top level RFAs to say (frank) it I want my money I don't care about the team.

Marner?

While playing a Cap expert on HB i noticed CF does the work for you and puts the cap % in the contract details

https://www.capfriendly.com/players/alex-ovechkin

SIGNING DATE: January 10, 2008 - 16.82%

but ya, Matthews is 14.63%

I'm going to be sad when the CapFriendly guy gets picked up by an NHL team and we have to wait for the next CapGeek/CapFriendly to show up

Is it wrong that I don’t hate those combos?
- Atomic Wedgie

What happened to the PP last year? I remember in October and early November it was absolutely on fire. I definitely watched more Leafs games in the first half of the season so didn't really see what happened.

Marner?
- BestRapperAlive

Very well could be Marner.

If that is the case he will be gone in a few years.

nope. I don't really like them either.. but if Babcock has the last word.. that's how i see it...
- Delryk

You misread my post.

I don’t hate them.

Meaning I kinda like them.

I didn't actually do the math. I referenced spotrac. Can't trust everything on the interwebs, eh?

Became to predictable and they didn’t make any changes....like at all

Marner to Rielly
Rielly to marner
Marner back to Rielly
Marner fake shot and back to Rielly
Rielly fake shot then pass to Matthews
No shooting lane so pass back to Rielly
Rielly to marner
Marner fake slap shot and goes for the tip.

Pretty much the gist of it

you failed to mention that you can't win a cup with Kessel, so therefor you cant win one with Nylander
- senstroll

Kessel has won 2 cups....
And if you're referring to Kessel when he was a Leaf...
NONE would have helped bring a cup.
For the first time in many years, I have hope of maybe seeing the cup before my time is up!
Is Willy the answer? Not by himself
But the pieces are starting to line up nicely

But, like I said, Willy will certainly earn his pay cheque

Kadri forgot how to shoot. Marner and Rielly never shot and Matthews was swarmed every 3 seconds because he has no one timer.

That’s the $64,000 question.

Maybe too predictable?

Dont worry, Gary Buttman said the fans are not interested in that stuff, so they wont do that. cuz Garbutt always tells the truth

I don't like the way Cap Friendly calculates cap percentage. It bases it on the current year's salary cap even though that salary will not be paid out until the new cap is established. The negotiations, I would expect, are very much based off of cap projections and cap percentages.

If you sign after June xx when the new cap number is released, then the cap number is based on the adjusted cap value. So it's not always comparing apples to apples.

It got pretty stale...It ran through Marner but his shot is below average so other teams covered his limited passing options well

The Leafs will benefit pretty greatly from Barrie's one timer. It adds another weapon.

whats spotrac?
Is that like AOL?

Left out ...."and signed for 2 LESS years".

Very important.
- The Law

Someone pointed that out already and I gladly agreed with them...but then again is really signed for 2 years less? My math says 1.

That’s the $64,000 question.

- Atomic Wedgie

Very little player movement.

Marner doesn't shoot. Rielly doesn't shoot. Kadri was ignored.

Block the lanes to Matthews and Tavares.

- AdamFrench

I love Rielly but there was zero shooting threat from the entire right side.

And I think the CBA limits % to 20%, no?

Ove is the highest cap % contract (post 2005) but factor in that it covers 13 years.

My only beef with CF is that they use "% of cap on date of signing" rather than "% of cap at time deal kicks in". So when guys sign early (IMHO) they use the wrong cap number.

Idk I googled Ovi's contract and it came up as the first result on the google machine

Cause they did the same move over and over and over and over and over.

I think JT and Matthews are going to be very happy with this

I got the Spotrac 3.5” disk in my mail - wondering if I should install it on my 486.

- Monkeypunk

hmm yeah..so his is strange.
are you sure on that?

CF says SIGNING DATE: January 10, 2008 .. so the cap % on sportrac is probably more accurate as to when the contract was signed

wouldnt CF be higher if they used the current year and not when it started and the new established cap?
