I really don't give a f*** if mommy and daddy can't go to games.. boo hooo. Another thing for the Marners to cry about. This isn't the Toronto Marner Leafs.
team aren't just going give us there quality players on sweetheart like Dubas did for Col when he gifted them Kadri so chances are those pieces will cost more than 4m per on avg
Well you might not but Mitch and the fam do and they control the situation. lol!
he's a name , he'll cost them almost nothing in real salary and then they can dump him at the t'd , win win all the way around
Good luck selling that to Chicago or Utah. It makes absolutely no sense.
Do they? Let's see how he performs, when the fans are all over him booing him for every little thing he does on the ice, and then facing the evil media people, all while able to perform for his next contract, in which he thinks he deserves. lol I think he should just go. For money sakes, because that's all he cares about. Can't disappoint daddy.
JT won't retire and if we don't re-sign him it'll make your head spin how quick he packs his family and moves
and what are they gonna do a year later? he's moving like it or not so why not do it a year earlier if it comes with benefits?
how doesn't it make sense for both those teams
What benefits? Is it possible to pay an incentive to leave? Fans will cheer when he plays well and boo when he screws up. I’m sure he is prepared for that or already has seen it.
I think that very much depends on what kind of offers he gets. He's already made close to $100M. What if the best offer he gets is $3M x 3 from Calgary?
For one, an 8th year. If they keep him off PP1 and play him with Tavares, his point totals will suffer which probably means less money when he walks to FA and can only sign for 7 years. Ferris will look for every dollar. Once he figures out that that is not here, they will waive.
Tavares is not a name and Utah has a couple of young studs to market.
Pretty sure Leafs would resign Tavares @ $3m. JT will take less to win a Cup here.
The time when clubs and fans may get discounts is at the end of playing careers but if we chase the players away well then we miss out on an opportunity. Expecting a discount from a twenty something player is insanity.
At the end of next year he will have banked about 75 million, add another 7 years of pay, I’d be surprised if he is concerned about year 8 pay
But my post you originally responded to said "if we don't re-sign him", and you replied that he would go elsewhere.
That actually seems likely. Older players usually like to go to lesser teams on lesser deals to just play casually and pad up their earnings before they end their playing career.
He would likely take that if he wasn't already seriously considering retirement. Players on the cusp of retirement aren't necessarily having seasons like he had this past year (which would be quality value at a lesser AAV). A 3x3 contract should also be feasible to move to a contender at some point if the situation isn't working out in that regard.
Some of the rich can never have enough money. Get as much as you can while you can.
