Just had to start my car with booster cables.

FFS, it’s not that cold.

I’m a little pissed off.

I'm saying it's not even worth worrying about at all, because slightly overpaying elite talent in your core is so, so much better than actual legit dead money problems you could have. Slightly overpaying a Marner is a good problem to have. And I recall when Nylander's deal was awful too....lots of angst around that contract not so long ago...not sayin', just sayin'...

Yeah, but imagine if Marner was paid what he should've been paid. The Leafs would have a bonus $2M to work with.

Could easily make the trade for Chychrun work.

Yeah it's not that cold. Maybe you need a new battery.

It's just really hard for me to worry about the Marner contract, having witnessed the Phaneuf contract and the Clarkson contract. I'll take this contract 'problem' in stride.

I don't worry about it, either. I'm glad Marner is a Leaf. Doesn't change the fact that he's overpaid and the team would have an easier time improving the team with the CAP space that should be there but isn't.

Having an elite player being overpaid by $1M isn’t a problem.

Having a 4th-liner be overpaid by $1M is a problem (cough-Ritchie-cough).

My balcony door doesn't stop poop. So I'm (frank)ing cold sitting in my place.

Contract should've started with an 8, so $2M+. Added onto Ritchie's bad contract.

That money could easily be used to rid ourselves of Holl and get a much better player. I will never be told that that's not a good thing.

So, is Marner's nickname Tiger now?

Both lists are completely laughable. Fans are stupid.

Yes, I’m probably not stepping on the brake and pushing the button properly.

There's seriously far, far worse dead cap all around the league than Marner. Marner might be overpaid by a bag of chips and a couple of chocolate bars. Ritchie is a bigger problem.
- Zezel

Agree, 11th in league scoring over the last four seasons, and he's younger than almost every player ahead of him. He's over paid, but I'm glad he's a Leaf, wish nothing but success for him.

No Biggie, the Giant west coast Tsunami might be slightly bigger deal.

If Lou didn't sign Marleau to that ridiculous contract the Leafs could have had a another top prospect to deal for Chychrun

Dead cap is far worse than a tad overpaid star...the star can still be worth the deal, dead cap will never be and you have to use 1st and 2nd round picks to get rid of them.

Is it not strange that the "most underrated" player is always from Dallas or Florida?

by design?

I mean having guys like AM, Willy and JT will take a lot of the shot attempts up...but seems rather low.

Got me thinking back to the day when my friend had a worn out engine. He connected two 12v batteries in series to gain a longer cranking time. Honestly, it seemed like 20 straight minutes. One heck of a starter .

Put on a Leafs jersey and do some burpees!

Great day for a bike ride. ❤️
