Around the League - PLAYOFFS!?

Hey @Legion34 I didn’t mean it like that, you know that

That’s totally fine. I could have worded it differently if I offended. All I am saying is people can have their preferences.

Most players get paid on counting stats and awards.

Personally
I would put Marner ahead of both Willy and EP over careers. However if EP and Willy continue to outscore him contracts should be similar percentages.

We can argue position. The value of the last RFA year. And who’s better but they should have about the same value in money

It doesn’t change the tax effects was my main argument.

 

[Stephen]

I’m happy to see this signing because things are getting more expensive for others.

 

[Evilhomer]

You know another overpayment is coming, the Leafs can’t help themselves……..

I will be shocked if Marner doesn't get $12.5.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

So much for the Canada tax/media theory for paying our stars the most money ever.

This

What about Covid? We can still blame that, right?

And this

DUBAS PASSED ALL THE f***ING TESTS THO

And Treliving sucks too

 

[ULF_55]

EP signs for 11.6 lmao the rest of the league really does play on a different set of rules with contracts.

Keep in mind that includes 1 year of RFA, and 7 years UFA.

I thought was cute, $100k more than Nylander.

 

[ULF_55]

Lol

I'm going to miss the Phoenix Arizona Coyotes.

When you're feeling lazy as dirt low hanging fruit is nourishing.

 

[Peasy]

He wanted to be the highest paid swede in the league

 

[rumman]

I will be shocked if Marner doesn't get $12.5.

Or more……

 

[Evilhomer]

Or more……

Entirely possible. He will have an enormous amount of leverage.

 

[PromisedLand]

Under 12m for EP is a massive win. That's a lesson in negotiating.

We are paying a winger (Nylander 11.5 AAV) and soon Marner will absolutely eclipse what EP's 11.6 AAV for 8 years as a center

And people wonder why the F Leafs don't win anything.

FML

What about Covid? We can still blame that, right?

CDC in the states just released a directive that they will be treating Covid like nothing but flu and there is no need to stay at home for 5 days after you have covid

Sham after sham after sham I tell ya

Can't wait for marners 13x8 contract in the summer

Vomit EMOJI

Its just such a pain in the ass to be a Leafs fan. I wonder if Leafs are ever going to win before I die

They need to do exactly what Rutherford did to EP . Here’s our best offer take now or we will negotiate a trade asap. None of the media manipulation, you say you love it here. Here’s the date we expect your answer or you’re gone the next day,

Marner has a NMC. Also I think that’s potentially a shit way to treat a cornerstone player of your franchise.

 

[Gabriel426]

Good deal for Nucks and Petey took a 500k discount.
Really wish our guys would do that.

I forgot it kicked in last July, however every pressure should be brought to the negotiation Marner and his representatives used every tactic possible to run over Dubas last time,I wouldn’t worry about how it appears. It’s tough negotiating. Peterson evidently decided he wanted to stay in Vancouver and took a fair deal to do so, I doubt Marner wants to leave the city, for once dont immediately capitulate.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

IDK about a massive win. I'd say fair for both sides. I don't compare other contracts to the ugly Nylander overpay or even Matthews contract because if they're being used as a benchmark that benchmark better read "don't ever do this".

5 goals in the 3rd as the Jets erase a 3 goal deficit vs the Canes. Good job Jets.

let him test free agency if he wants max dollars again, I'm tired of the team being screwed over by these players...........

Dubas is directly responsible for inflating these players salaries, NHLPA man of the year five years running..........

 

[Jojalu]

Another 3-0 lead blown up today.

It's an epidemic around the league

Yes, we value you and want you to stay and are willing to compensate you more than fairly, but don’t forget there are advantages to playing for this franchise that aren’t available anywhere else.
Boston and others don’t wring their hands and cave in every time a star gets close to FA. They hold fast confident that the player wants to stay. If he walks you have a ton of cash to bring in different star players.

 

[Pi]

Look at how long OELs buyout is and how disastrous Mikheyev has been for them is lol.

I don't care if the Leafs pay Marner, Matthews and Nylander what they are worth as long as they aren't making those OEL, Mikheyev kind of mistakes.

He’s a great player, but I’d like to see these guys stop screwing over the team because I’m certain the Leafs will keep overpaying these guys, maybe Shanahan is getting a kickback for all these overpayments…….

 

[BallardEra]

Panthers up 2-0 on Detroit.

 

[Jojalu]

Kuznetsov on waivers!

Wow.

Panthers up 2-0 on Detroit.

Easily the team I would least like the Leafs to face in the first round

 

[BallardEra]

 

[Evilhomer]

Kuznetsov on waivers!

Wow.

I imagine Washington will buy out the last year of his contract. Nobody is picking up that salary.
