But they won't give up that pick, it's lottery protected.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is it's stupid to say that you don't want to win against Columbus, because you'd rather have the first overall pick.

It's not happening.

This is exactly how the current system works.
- Atomic Wedgie

It actually doesn't. Matthews gets 11+ million no matter what. I'm saying his cap hit should be 10% of the cap. If the cap goes up to 100 million, he makes 10 million. If it goes down to 60 million, he makes 6 million.

I'm on the fence though, I think they got screwed with this 24 team format.

It's funny, I just had this exact conversation with my daughter. She seems to think Boston got screwed in this format.

My hot take: the world is upside down. The NHL had to do something, and if fans don't like it, they can go suck an egg.

Matthews does not get 11+ no matter what.

Google "escrow."

If the Leafs lose to the Columbus Blue Jackets, they have a 1.1% chance of getting the first pick.

Put it all on Red 11.

So nylander + 3rd liner + a prospect "could" get a rhd?
This better be the best rhd in the league and is under 25.

Doughty would suffice.

Kerfoot and Johnsson coming off not good seasons, prospect pool one of the worst in the league
- TheMussel

Should still be enough.

I'm talking cap hits, not real dollars.

One word. Robertson.
- bobbyisno1

roberston will be better than Laf?

Should still be enough.
- JohnFergusonJr

I don't think so

The bolts lame no mask video doesnt compare to what their rivals did decades ago.

Marco Rossi.

Belfour looking like he's already 42 drinks into retirement.

I don't think so
- TheMussel

For Doughty with salary retained, yeah, it's enough.

Jesus no.
- Fakepartofme

Definitely yes.

The Leafs 1.1% at winning the lottery is better than their odds of winning the Cup.

Still can't believe Stammer wouldn't give up the stupid sun and unbearable heat and terribly inefficient jetskis in order to play hockey in toronto

And a cup contending team.

Marco Rossi.

Rossi will be better than Ceci?

For Doughty with salary retained, yeah, it's enough.

The question was which would you prefer,#1 pick or a 3rd round appearance.
Not the validity of either.

At the poker table of course.
