I think for there to be some sort of honest exploration of McDavid to Toronto you want to see the Leafs decisively outperform Oilers over the next two years. The worse the better for Edmonton and if they return to severe dysfunction that's perfect - he's gone to chase a legacy and everybody understands. I don't see it happening if he's cup(s) chasing.

Although if Marner is retained with an nmc then that honest exploration is probably short lived - maybe we lay low on nmc's altogether for a bit.

Yeah I would agree with that. Back around 2021-ish in the Canadian Division is the kind of competitive balance between Toronto and Edmonton that would favour us and pave the way for a McDavid pursuit… We shut down the Oilers every time we play them and are ahead in the pursuit of a championship. Since then they’ve really crept out and built a big lead. At first glance I don’t know if we have the pieces on D to close the gap again. But you never know.

McDavid to the Leafs in his prime would definitely be the dream and Draisaitl re-signing would seem to indicate they plan on sticking together in Edmonton at first glance, but so much could happen too. Edmonton wins a cup and it's mission accomplished, going home. Or Edmonton takes a step or two back and all bets are off. And the dark horse question is what kind of cap flexibility does Toronto carry into the offseason two years from now? They will have had to make a commitment or walk away from Marner by then, clouding the picture or leaving a big gap in the Toronto roster. Tavares could be gone or on a deep discount. Woll and Knies will be post current deals.

Lots of interesting questions to say the least .I'd imagine MLSE would do a full on blitz if McDavid even hinted at free agency

I think they’re trying to lay some groundwork now with the ongoing Matthews and McDavid offseason schmoozing.

With Leon signing, l doubt McDavid reaches FA. The Oilers will give him his money.

What part of CapFriendly & Capgeek set it apart?

I know people are looking for an alternative to Capfriendly and currently it is either PuckPedia or Capwages. Also shoutout to Capgeek, we miss you still :cry: What features do you miss or would want again that the websites aren't having currently or improve? Mods sorry if this is the wrong...

CapWages - NHL Salary Cap Data

CapWages provides the latest NHL salary cap data and player contracts.
capwages.com

Seems either I am learning more each use, or CapWages continues to make updates, bringing it closer to CapFriendly.

Haven't used all the features so other more experienced should have some suggestions?

"Working on a move"?

This isn't ground breaking.


“To me, we've still got five weeks or so till camp. And, you know, we're not set yet. We continue to look at ways to make our team better," Treliving responded. "I said at the end of the year we're going to look at everything. Sometimes people fall in love with ' 'let's make a big change just to make a big change'. At the end of the day, you can go out and make big changes. If they're not making your team better, to me it doesn't make any sense to just make a change just to stand up and say 'look at it, we made this big change.'"
