Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

He makes $4M and I am projecting he will get $5M on his next deal, that will cost us $3M more per year because we are only paying him $2M of his current $4M.



Woll was out number one heading into the season and that doesn't change because of a three game injury, not even a serious one.

I know he appears injury prone, but that was the case when they signed him to a three year extension.

It's not about the current injury.

It's about the 3 months he missed last year, and game 7,and NOW the current injury.

He's ALWAYS injured.

I'm a Woll guy he's extremely talented but it doesn't count or matter if every little thing takes him out.

If you are constantly hurt eventually you become a bitch boy.

He hasn't quite reached bitch boy status but he's on his way

I get that. I am telling you that the Leafs knew about all of the injuries you just listed and signed him to a three year deal. They are not going to change course on who is number one just because he is a week late starting the season.

I believe they may have felt that this would be a 1a/1b situation and Woll is 1a. They also think Murray is #3 and just not ready yet. We have four or five strong goalies, it's the best G shape we have been in in years.

I would give Marner 8 x $11.5M right now without full NMC or wait until after the playoffs to talk contract and be prepared to let him walk.

So would I.

He’s not signing that.

I think NMC is mandatory from his camp.

 

[ACC1224]

I would JT at 4 years * $3M. The rising cap, he will be effective still and he has earned it. It's a good number.

NMC is standard for top end guys.
Any idea who the highest paid player without one is?

That's a good question, I don't know if any high end players don't have them. I said not a full NMC and I don't expect him to sign it, I was just saying what contract I would sign him to BEFORE the playoffs.

 

[frizzer1]

For me, Woll hasn’t played enough to prove himself.
Stolarz is #1 as long as he keeps doing what he’s been doing.

A lot have NMC for the first few yrs then M-NTC at the end. Pastrnak, for example, has a NMC through 2028 and the it switches to M-NTC

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Did he get an assist on the first goal? On the highlights it looked like he could have been the NHL App on my TV was not working

No, but he should have. He was the driver of the play. But assists are limited tools to assess someone's offensive contributions.

Exactly, and thanks.

If we are going to be giving Marner a deal before he shows us what he does in the playoffs then we need a discount and an out, with the discount giving him additional value on a trade.

Seems reasonable to have that option, for both parties.

Honest question: how was he the driver? All I saw was the Pens player lost the puck, Domi grabbed it, and made a great move to feed Willy for an easy one.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

how was he the driver?

To start the play Robertson had burst of speed and split the D (Zone entry). He didn't make it through cleanly and the puck went behind the red line towards the corner. He retrieved it, skated behind the net and passed it out front.

while he was doing ALL the hard work, Zone entry, Controlling the puck, his linemates had time to setup.
