I'd be absolutely horrified if Toronto is stuck giving Timothy Liljegren $4 million per year. He makes $1.4 million right now. $3 million × 3 years sounds about right to me. That makes him 27-28 when his next deal is due and as a D-man that's when he can sign his 6-8 year big time deal if he has developed into a stud.
Which - in my view - unfortunately leads to another big money winger and a diminished role for the #1D. Would potentially also require some ELCs/good players on cheap contracts to make next year's team (and one or more might be leaving the organization through these two hypothetical trades). Perfectly fine to agree to disagree though. I certainly can't argue with how impressive that lineup looks.
I’d be totally fine with 3x3 but I was thinking a 4x6. Pay a little for extra term but given our cap crunch 3x3 might be a better route.
Ideally you sign him to another 2 year deal around 3 million, keeps him as a rfa and then sign him to that long term deal
why wait until after he breaks out Sanderson a steal for ott they paid him early only difference they seen he would be their best defensemen lily a little different cause riellys already here but you have to pay him now for 8 years 3 year bridge deal will end with us paying him double digits by time the cap rises in the next 3 years for a top 2 top 4 d we’ll end up trading him and fucced look at jarnkrok contract with Nashville they have the same team temperment I would capitalize now he’s carrying gio around no easy feat that’s all I’m saying he’s worth way more than 1.4
I generally agree with the price tags on the other guys. I'm not sure how I feel about Chabot, but he'd definitely be an upgrade.
$3.0 million is more than double what he's making now.
You run into him ending up out producing that right shot dman in the second year of his third year deal then what?? Hope he takes 6 6.5 when the caps gone up more than 10 mil and now he’s looking at 8 9 10 on 8 year deal now you have to trade him ?? I don’t know I guess we’ll just see how it plays out right
Probably not to the tune of 5.4M x 3(+).
No, but if they take Samsonov and retain a little of his contract, it may be worth it.
Exactly better to build the best team you can and go with the cheap options
If we could afford him he might be a tre target tall rangy Right shot dman the money is the issue but I mean wouldn’t be a bad idea
Taking Samsonov's expiring contract might be simple enough (unless they really don't need another goalie). My feelings regarding the matter entirely would depend on how much they'd be willing to retain and what they'd be seeking in return?
Any worry regarding the acquisition of Parayko might be found in the two to three years after this (6+ years remain on his contract).
