Just show me you will play your heart out in the playoffs before asking for more money
If you want to move the posts and just look at last year:
You specifically made a point of calling out less years will impact our ability to win the cup. Jesus dude you dont even know (have a clue) what you posted?
Your myopic singular POV leaves out the fact the last 3 years of an 8 year deal will have Matty well into his 30's. It's a fact big body centers tend to break down and/or skills decline, speed decreases right around that time, it's a huge advantage to the Leafs to NOT have a player at $13.5+ mil who is a shadow of his former self but why consider more than just your singular lane POV when you think you are the smartest person in the room. Clearly you have ALL the answers by considering only one possibility.
Please stop, your just flailing now.
ahh keep your pants on with those comments...
It is true that our players bring valuable things outside of just point production that often get ignored in these discussions, but our players are also better producers than pretty much all of these players you point to. The issue here is that unlike teams and agents, you refuse to look at production beyond just peak raw points, and you attempt to credit individuals for raw points obtained through external factors and not the internal impacts the individual is bringing and being paid for. Not all raw points bring equal comparative advantage to their team, and doing something once is not the same as doing something consistently and over a bigger sample.
Just because a team doesn't have the playoff outcomes you desire, that doesn't mean that every contract on the team is bad. That's such a weird, incorrect argument.
That's not what I said at all. Don't misrepresent my statements. I in fact said the opposite - that Leaf players are far from alone in raw points not accurately capturing their impact. You're just only focused on the Leaf players and comparing them to the very best contracts according to your extremely limited and flawed methodology.
It is contributing to team success. That's why we've consistently been one of the best teams in the league. Unfortunately, a lot more factors into playoff series outcomes, and we haven't had the success we want there yet, but you're attributing that to something you have no evidence of. We've talked extensively about the actual causes of our playoff outcomes, and you simply refuse to accept most of it.
It essentially boils down to we lose = no compete, no matter what our players actually do.
when you talk about this franchise being a "total failure over decades" does it include the teams these guys played on?
Players worthy of admiration playing on teams that are not so good is nothing new.
