I expect his next deal will take him to 40 years of age - similar to Tanev.
That said I think it will likely allow management to play around with the aav which will likely start with a 4 or 5 if the team offers about 6 years of term

The smart play, is get Marner done first, because it will leave JT less room to negotiate. There is no way this guy wants to leave Toronto at this stage of his career, it isn’t unkind to squeeze him now. He had the leverage when he was in his prime, not it’s time for some return value the other way, or let him walk. He won’t.

The smart play is to let Marner walk, because it will show JT that the team is serious about winning and won't overpay.

9 goals and 10 assists in 19 games played.
Last year on a 7 year deal… yeah, this thread title now sucks.

A follow-up: with Hyman having a slow start to the season, is JT playing his way onto the Canadian team as a winger? FO protection as well, PP etc.

Not as bad as the poll options. The least overpaid option is still %40 !?
HF Leafs has been slagging on this contract since day 1, just totally convinced that it would be some anchor by the last few years. Yet here he is scoring point-per-game so far in the final year.
Tavares has been great so far this season. Not just passable, not just getting points by being sheltered, not just a PP merchant, not just leeching off linemates. He's been great! Tavares wins faceoffs, forechecks, puts in constant effort, leads off-the-ice, scores big goals, plays in the hard areas, dishes with vision, and bleeds Maple Leaf Blue. Tavares is great.

I usually find myself pulling for the underdog and long shots, but this season I’ve been cheering Tavares on.
The guy gets slagged on here to no end, and he had his C removed to be given to a player I don’t feel has done anything to earn or show that he is Captain material.
Tavares does everything asked of him and is having an excellent season thus far.
I think he’s going to continue to show us how committed he is to winning here, and will resign on a very team friendly extension.
Just one of the good guys you have to cheer for if you are a Leaf fan.

40% brings him down to around 7m. Neither he or Kadri will be worth half that in 2 years from now.
Maybe you are correct. I guess the post was more directed at people who want to see Kadri back.

If they move to bring Kadri back etc it's because they want to win in the next 2yrs. Could be the case. OEL and Tanev and Rielly ain't getting younger. May want to overload on the old now and go for broke.
