Bring in Peter
Option B would depend on what the package coming back could have been.

4 rounds in 8 years with the best player on the planet.
4 rounds in 17 years for the Oilers.
Yep, the Oilers are the poster child for success (with how many 1st over-all picks)?
Compared to the Toronto Maple Leafs, absolutely.
No I understand. Which is why I said years ago that the Tavares signing would be a problem but you assured me it wouldn’t.

I mean, flat cap and shit kind of happened so if you did it was by complete fluke.
Besides, Tavares has 2 seasons left. See my comment above, cap problems with the core are a non issue outside of that 1 season
No. I knew and many others stated that the Tavares contract would come back to bite them. If the cap would have risen then Matttews demands would have just increased. The flat cap is a red herring.
A lot of TML issues rn is unfortunately do to unforseen circumstances, draw it up like it *should have* gone (no covid etc) and things are different.
No I never said that.
I didn’t expect you to admit your mistake though. Lol.
crosby signed a 12 year deal 10 years ago. Which would be over 12 million Today. Now factor in that those contracts aren’t allowed anymore, how much do you think he would sign for today? On an 8 year deal.

Yup. Leafs sign 40+ million in contracts the season before the league shuts down. Shit happens. But had the cap kept going up, they could have kept guys like Hyman and have more assets as they wouldn't have needed to pay so much for extra cap like with Marleau's deal and for retention

Shouldn't you be worrying about McDavid re-signing instead of the how overpaid the Leafs stars are (who signed with the team)?

Imagine if after this contract Matthews signs to Coyotes and builds an arena named after himself to play in!

Kind of difficult to do that when there are no games to play though.
You’re playing a really stupid game here.
Matthews - scores 41 goals in a 52 game season
Grim Reaper on HFboards - “Only 41 goals? What a scrub. Should have scored more than that. 41 goals brings his average to 43 per season. He needs to play more games”
What an embarrassment of a take lol

Calling Tavares a PPG guy at worst is tough considering this past season was his first reaching PPG levels in 4 years.
Also doesn't quite mean much when there are about 40 PPG players... Or when you consider that half of his points came on the PP, and 5 on 5 he's tied for 86th in the league.
Doesn't quite get you close to be deserving of Top 10 highest paid players in the league.
Who are you even talking to?
No, I’m not worried, already signed McDavid long term once (when Leafs fans like yourself said he wouldn’t sign, or play for Edmonton). And unlike your inferior player, he’ll be signed long term.
You’re acting like some gotcha thing when it’s not relevant to the topic of Auston Matthews shitty contract lol. Just classic deflection.
And of course you make a shitty thread that was quickly shut down.

41 goals in a 52 game shortened season is why traditional stat keeping is skewed.
to be able to properly put across how amazing of a goal scoring season that was, you don’t just get to say ‘he had a 41 goal season’. Because that’s misleading, he had 41 goals in a 52 game season.
His missed games aren’t mostly due to injury, they are league shut down games that he missed the most of.
Don’t be disingenuous
Hey @Golden_Jet check this out. Another poster saying Matthews next deal at $15m+.
Do you get it yet?
This team is so unlikable. They very clearly prioritize making the most money possible and themselves over the team.
They will never win. Being a leafs fan is so hard

They think if Tavares only signed for 4 years when he came to Toronto that he’d be getting paid $15m on this deal by now.
Because they are trolls
I suppose he could get less if he absolutely falls off a cliff in the next 5 years. Or if he does indeed sign a full 8 year deal next time.
dubey
$$$$$$$*NICE*$$$$$$$ 69 in 79 $$$$$$$*NICE*$$$$$$$
Matthews has enough money to buy the Coyotes and McDavid is going to leave Edmonton
Business is about to pick up

Considering Crosby's obsession with the number 87, why would you assume it would change much? There's a reason both of his post ELC contracts average out to $8.7 million per year or did you think that was just a weird coincidence?
At most, Crosby would have opted for an $87 million contract over 8 years, for an AAV of 10.875 million per year so he could maintain some weird tie to the number 87.
