Hopefully and ya it’s a ways off.
the most pressing issue is when the give Willy 11 million.
we will have 3 guys making 11 million and 1 guy at 13 million. The same 4 forwards that couldn’t get it done the last 5 years.
But but but in 2025-2026 Tavares will only make 5-6M. So we are saved :huh:

I agree with you on keeping Nylander

But it'll take something like a Panarin contract...

No it won't. This is the Toronto market being the Toronto market. No NHL team is giving Nylander 11 million. Certainly not a contender. Leafs can offer 8 years so he can get the same money but a lesser AAV to help the team win. 10.5 max.

Luckily... we've been drafting well the last few years and Woll is here on his bargain deal and may be the #1...

We will have space to manage for one year.


And next year? No one is talking about this year.

Willy’s and Mitchy’s back checking allowed Ottawa to think they can win this game. Both will make sure they don’t.
 
13 for never hitting 100 points...that would be wild. I don't think Treliving will give him 13...maybe he'll get something like Pastrnak's deal.

I don’t see how Marner gets a raise, he got paid for this kind of production early, and he’s hitting it.

He’s being paid what he’s worth already, I don’t think he is improving drastically from here on out. He is what he is

I agree he doesn't deserve a raise...he's being paid fairly now, but he will squeeze hard, lol
 
That is actually a result of poor coaching. The trailing player on a 2on1 against us has always taken the puck carrier this season. It’s very very strange but that’s how they want it played. Not Willy’s fault he did what he was told.
That is a very good point.

Aho just got close to 10 and is worse.

Meier just got 8.8 and is worse.

Someone spent 10.5 on Huberdeau until he is like 52.

Gaudreau got close to 10.

Lower cap when all those players signed... I don't think it is out of the question for another team to offer him 11.

Whether it's here or not, he'll get a raise based on the cap going up if nothing else.
 
He’s going to need a conn smyth, an art ross or a hart to hit $11.5-$12.5

Projected cap is 92 million, Huberdeau got 12.73%, that is $11.7 and I think Marner is worth more...

May be looking at something between 11.5 and 12.5.
