You’re a Canucks fan? You know the reports are Nylander hasn’t changed his demand for 8x8.5mill? You would give Boeser for Nylander at $8+mill?!

Not a chance Leafs exchange Liljegren for Gudbranson. Our RHD is already glaring weak spot.

Bad trade for both teams.

Boeser >> Nylander. It's not even close.

And I've heard Nylander wants $8-8.5M. Toronto is at $6.5M Max.

Leafs can't afford to sign him at 6.5 really, they are going to have huge cap issues next season.

OMG no... are you crazy?! They don't even need a guy like boeser... they need a guy like tanev + ?

Without starting a big thing here, Habby, how can the leafs not afford to pay Nylander $6.5 mill? They have $21 mill cap space currently and that goes to over $30 mill next season. Nylander currently makes $1mill. So $5.5 mill is the difference needed. Just Hainsey, Ennis and Marincin, all of which will not be back and don’t need to be replaced from outside make up about $4 mill of that alone. Without considering any rise in the cap.

That still leaves $25 mill for marner and Matthews and a cpl of the bottom 6 guys (Leivo, Johnsson etc) . Rielly, zaitsev, Kadri, Andersen, hyman and brown would all be locked up still. And Marleaus $6.25 mill comes off the next year. You’re looking for a problem that isn’t there yet. Until Kadri, Rielly and Andersen need new deals In 3-4 years, there is no problem. Gardiner leaving and letting dermott into the top 4 is the only sacrifice needed which is fine by me. Gardiner will get $6.5mill offers somewhere and I say let him take it.

Like Tanev? Sounds like someone has gotten an early start ahead of Oct. 17th.

We'll jim according to cap friendly the leafs have 11 players signed for next year who are costing 49 mil. that leaves about 30 mil to sign 12 more players. Considering matthews and marner will probably cost about 21mil and let's just say nylander costs 7 that would leave about 2 mil I assume hortons 5 mil is counted into this but that only comes off once the season starts. So let's just say they have 8 mil left to sign 9 players. Better hope Kapenen and Johnson don't want big contracts.

The next year they probably have 62 mil invested in 9 players. its going to be real tough to get 14 guys under contract for less the 20 mil. Not impossible I guess but tough.

@Habby

$21M for Matthews and Marner seems like a bit much. How are you breaking it down?

I see Matthews = $11M
Marner = $7M
Total = $18M

I don’t think Leafs go above $20M on these two guys.

You’re on a new level if you think Marner signs for anything short of 8.5.

Matthews 12 mil marner 9 mil if not even more. especially if they have good years.

I think Mathews will sign the same as Tavares on a 6 year deal.


16.) 06 Oct 2018

Matthews definitely will be the same or slightly more than Tavares and Marner will depend on this seasons performance in a big way. I say between $8-9. The leafs should not even be considering signing Gardiner and I think they’ll be ok.

It’s going to be tight for sure but it’s funny how some people like to put a negative spin on the problem of the leafs having too much talent up front.

Leafs17, It’s just an attack because of WHO it is, not WHAT it is. Jets only have 12 players signed for next year as well and their free agents include Laine, Trouba, Connor and Myers. But they have a great team, a good shot to win and will sort it out same as us. Other fan bases, like habs, feel the need to tear down and point out negativity on the leafs because they’re sick of hearing all the positive in the media. If jets got the positive hype of Toronto (which they deserve) oilers/ flames fans would do the same thing to them.

That's not right jim it's been only 2 years of positive coming out of leaf land. Nobody is really sick of it yet.

Ppl whine all the time about the coverage they get. On Twitter, on this site, just in general.
