Out of Town Thread Part XXV

They also gave the moon to Tavares.

Tavares contract was a little different though, they were bidding on a ufa and all but yes I guess it did affect the situation they are in now. Taking a discount to keep the core together only works if everybody does it.

Good news for Edmonton and us fans who marvel at great players. McDavid, who was rumored that he'd maybe miss the start of the season has the green light to return.

WOW. So early. Now that's proper tanking haha

Anaheim will get a top 3 pick this coming draft.

Lucky them

WOW. So early. Now that's proper tanking haha

they've known about Kesel for months i beleive... and eaves was a 4th liner... so don't think this announcement impacts their season at this point.

will be interesting to see if they try to leverage the LTIR cap space of these two contracts to fully tank by taking on cap crunch teams garbage in exchange for picks/prospects... or if they venture instead into the OS conversation...

Well some teams know how to build and other teams know how to remain irrelevant

You mean: get players seriously injured unable to resume their carreer ?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Yeah, because Kesler and Eaves make that big of a difference...

Also, Melnyk being sued for $900,000 in gambling debt. I can already hear Bergevin writing the Chabot offer sheet for next July.

Sounds like Marner is almost a done deal. 6 years, no amount mentioned.

 

[Milhouse40]

 

[habdynasty]

Done deal. 6 years

 

[Milhouse40]

10.893M for 6 years officially

 

[The Great Weal]

6 years 10.8 per. Didnt he turn down 8 years 11 per or am I mistaken?

 

[MasterDecoy]

3 forwards at 33m? f***ing madness

 

[Adam Michaels]

Great for Toronto to have this done. Now it's time to unload players because they will need a whole lot of movement to be cap compliant on opening night.

 

[Milhouse40]

3 forwards at 33m? ****ing madness

Add Nylander and you got 4 forwards for 39M
Surprised HF did not crash yet

Trade Nylander for picks or ELC players. Done.

With their LTIR players i think they will be fine.

 

[peate]

The more high salaried players you have, the more scrubs you need to compensate. Not a winning combination.

 

[Tuggy]

Good for the Leafs and I'm sure they are just happy to have him signed, but that's a lot of money.

We'll see if he can keep up the production. I'm not convinced but they had no choice.
