The need to address the Salary Cap for NHL Teams makes it necessary for them to blend in entry level contracts a lot more so now a days then in the past. Nic Robertson IMO doesn’t even get a mention in Toronto if they didn’t have the Cap challenges they have. He is for sure a kid with talent but IMO is far from ready to play in the NHL.
Boy if Tomasino sticks in the NHL, well don’t need to say it ........ I’m sure there are a few General‘s hockey executives not sleeping quite as well as they would like?
Good Luck
the same publication who made the “Turris will be bought out and replace by Tomasino” article also released one yesterday about how they are a team who should make a run at signing Taylor Hall because they can make it work under their cap lol. They have over 13 million in cap space after they buy out Turris. They’re not in a cap struggle like the Leafs are
Nashville fans we’re summarizing Tomasino might be in the lineup because they want to get younger, not because they need the cap relief like the leafs do with Robertson.
I agree with you that without a cap struggle, neither Tomasino or Robertson would likely be in the nhl next year. Luckily for the Gens, Nashville isn’t in one.
but who knows, he could go and absolutely dominate in camp and make the team. But barring an unreal camp, I’d assume he’d be back (maybe after 8 games). We’ll see I guess
