I'm not sure I asked earlier as well. But they just did 50% with Vatrano. That's a lot of wiggle room.
50% is quite a bit.
If Marner wants 13mil and willing to do 50% deferred payments, his cap hit could be 7.5mil or so.
This is a game changer for a lot of teams.
You have to compensate Marner to defer payments (in Vatranos case it was 10 years) with a higher than 'wanted' price point. I'm not sure it's even possible to get to a 7.5M cap hit with a max contract. He's probably just take the 8x13M.
Would it? Half the Vatrano money is deferred and yet the cap hit only went down by a quarter

Especially since a big portion of his contract will be in annual bonuses rather than salary. I think this structure will work very well for a Tavares contract, but not a Marner contract.

Tampa will overtake Boston eventually, right? They keep losing games, but still have 5 games in hand on Boston

I'm not sure it matters much. Neither of those teams is going anywhere this season.

Tampa is damn good, they have the best goal differential in the division. I don’t want to face them in the playoffs.
It's crazy that Bos has the worst. How are they worse than Det, Mon and Buf?

The goal differential is because they had a handful of lopsided wins earlier in the season. I would be thrilled to see the Leafs play Tampa in the first (or second) round. Toronto would dispatch them easily.

You're forgetting to add back in the present value of the 50% that is deferred.
They don't get to write off the whole 50%. They have to calculate what that money would be worth in today's dollars and that is added back on to determine overall AAV. Depending on factors like what rate of interest and inflation they use and the number of years it's deferred over it is still likely to be a pretty large number.
Probably closer to 75% than 50% of the AAV without deferral.
Say they wanted to do 3 x 18 for JT
Could they not just do million differed to a full sb July 1 of the 4th year?

Anyone else think it's stupid Grubauer is allowed Native American artwork on his helmet but Fleury wasn't.
The NHL itself is stupid. I know this because they do a lot of stupid things. The list is too lengthy to include here.
But rest assured you won't have to wait long before they make another head scratching decision of some sort.
It's all Bettman's fault. At one point I thought growing the game at all costs was the right way to go too. I even gave consideration to Bettman's wet dream of league parity before dismissing it as the nonsense it is.
Free markets prove winners will always win and losers will always lose.
The ECHL has seen over a hundred teams come and go. They average a churn rate of three teams a year. They're still a going concern.
The NHL won't go broke cause a couple unprofitable loser organizations fold.

Have a drink, and then have a great summer with the family.

I guess I should have add, "if you were the Leafs". Summer can't come soon enough.

Oh, I can tell you why they're failing. Because they're putting together Winter Classic combinations that either involve terrible teams (who wants to watch Chicago right now? Even with Bedard, they're terrible) or involve low-key rivalries rather than big ones.
The league needs to pick at least one team that is currently winning and has a decent to large fanbase to draw interest. No one cares about Chicago-St. Louis.
Chicago was expecting Bedard to have a Kane-like impact on them, but the situation is very different; Chicago drafted Kane as the finishing piece of a years-long rebuild, and they had multiple young pieces ready to jump in at the same time (Keith, Seabrook, Toews). OTOH, this time they have Bedard and...

The world goes on. If you are over the age of 16 and you live and die by this stuff, you aren't doing life correctly.
You tinker around the edges and try again. Like it or not, there is no other path. They are wed to this group until Matthews' contract expires.I guess I should have add, "if you were the Leafs". Summer can't come soon enough.

Everytime I see the Habs playing OT, they're on the PP. Must be nice.
