I'm sure this will fix all of their problems and they will ride off into the sunset after keeping their core together the entire time
That means they still have to fill out their roster with FIFTEEN players with, what, $35 million? We’ve seen that the core 4 + Reilly just isn’t good enough to win a cup on their own so you need a good supporting cast around them. How many ELC’s/sub-$1 million contracts are you pencilling in to bring in solid players to replace McCabe, Bertuzzi, Domi or Brodie? They would all need to outplay their cap hit as is, and a slump or single injury to one of the big guns makes the team almost useless. This deal is crippling to the franchise, regardless of how good Nylander is.Who said that is the plan? Tavares has next year and is a UFA. Marner has 1 more year and a UFA. If this deal happens, thhey have Matthews, Nylander, Kampf and Jarnkrok signed that season. on D they will have Rielly and LIljegren. In goal Woll.
Basically, the Leafs have a ton of assets and cap flexibility to completely do a retool in a season or two and still have years of Matthews left to compete.

Gotta be one of the funniest statements I've ever read on this site.Who said that is the plan? Tavares has next year and is a UFA. Marner has 1 more year and a UFA.
