There are backups out there that can fit under the cap. Dubas probably just doesn't want to give up a prospect but he may have to....again I'd rather lose a B prospect over my 1D and 1G in 2 years.

Just give up Johnnson already, he's overpaid and I don't know about everyone else but i'm sick of small wingers on Mathews line.

Well at the time of the signing Draisaitl was horribly overpaid. That's the entire point. Have it look good as the stats, salaries and cap goes up.
- RogerRoeper

Ya willie is no drysaddle.
And he was coming off a 77pt, 29 goal season.

Hey Max, can you please cut out the homophobic remarks in your posts?

Some of us don't work in caves.

Thanks

Might be hard to trade him before the holiday trade freeze.

They paid him because he went on a hot streak during the playoffs NOT playing with McD and then he scored 50 after that...plus he had put up a good reg season too.

you honestly think a moronic repetitive response like that is going to bother me?
you seem to be the epitome of a soyboy.
- MaximusAurelius

ok max

FFS tired of Roger sucking Nylander and Dubas' cocks..



Nylander is overpaid because he is a 'me first' guy that will avoid any physical contact and that will never help any team to actually win a Stanley Cup.

Keller >> Nylander.
Hayes >> Nylander.
100s of players are better than Nylander.
Nylander friggin sucks.

Marner and MAtthews are slightly overpaid.
Nylander is hugely overpaid, since he is a net negative for the Leafs.
- MaximusAurelius

Willie is soft...no doubt and you'll always be disappointed if you expect him to go after a puck, play with effort all the time or win a puck battle.
But if he gets 60 pts each year.....contract is not so bad at all.

Edit: Sorry I once did see Willie chase down a puck and somewhat touch the opposing player with his shoulder which resulted in him getting the puck back. So that was nice to see, maybe things are changing?

but you're speculating that I'm speculating......when in reality I'm speaking fact.


how many different ways can I say speculating? speculate, speculation, speculating, assuming, there's gotta be more.....I'm sure you'll find them and change things up a bit
- haywoodjablome

Ok now you are speculating

It's safe to assume it won't go up for the 1st time in it's history.
- RogerRoeper

I didn’t say it wouldn’t go up...we were talking about a few topics at the same time...it’s going to go up...but it was supposed to go to 83.5 this year and it didn’t. Averages about $3m/year the last 7-8 years...so hopefully that’s enough for all the raises. 1 guy can take 2 years worth of Cap raises...if you have 3-4 guys 🤷🏻‍♂️

stop making things up please.

- bobbyisno1

While I disagree he is overpaid.....Because 50 point wingers go for 4+ million these days. Even more if your name is Charlie Coyle...but I'd hand Mikheyev Johnnsons contract today and trade him for D.

The Wings just put Madison Bowey on waivers?

Maybe we can put a claim in for him?

24 years old, a big body, and an RHD.
- PatC80

If the wings do not want him....why do we?

Coming from you?

Seattle won't have great playoff revenues like Vegas, but they will still sell-out every sinlel game and it won't be cheap tickets.

you're amazing.
you can see into the future.

I think it was the sucking cock post maybe

Derp

When we look at things that will significantly impact the cap in the near future. Adding a successful team will help to a certain extent. The new US TV deal though is expected to make a paradigm shift in revenue. The normal $4 - $5 million increase in cap (with the exception of the voluntary slow play of the past two years) should see a healthy increase with that TV deal, combined with the gambling deal and a new team that is expected to be very successful. A $10 to $12 million hop, not this coming year, but the following year would not surprise me.
- winsix

I believe the cap only went up by 2 - 3millie the past couple of years.

I could be wrong....and it could easily be searched.
But Im lazy.

you're amazing.

So last year it was Marner is leaving by offersheet Leafs are screwed. Now it's he signed 6 years with the Leafs, they are screwed.



HAHA


I am so worried about that Travis Dermott offersheet...
- RogerRoeper

the consensus was at a $10.5M offersheet, the leafs should take the 4 1sts over marner; cause 10.5M was too much.

but 10.9M is not too much.

Associated with the alt-right, soyboy is an insult used online for men seen as effeminate liberals. It comes from the myth that consuming soy products lowers testerone levels in a man.

IMO, the only overpay was Marner by about $1/$1.5M over what he should have gotten.
- PatC80

matthews is overpaid as well.
Specially for the term.

but oh well.....who needs to save money?

Ih, when was that? LOL. Dreger reported he was going to get 13-14 million per.
