If the Leafs Don’t Trade One of the Big 4 this Summer, They Will Go Into Next Year spending 53.1% of Their Total Cap on Four Forwards.



… leaving the remaining 46.9% to cover an additional 8 forwards, 6 defensemen and 2 goalies.

Someone needs to go….

    On the bright side next year we can spend a pretty penny around matthews and nylander !

    The solution is simple.  Marner will be goalie when woll gets hurt.   Treliving can thank me later.

    Add in Rielly’s $7.5M and that’s 62% (I rounded up) of the cap spent on five players 🔥🔥

  4. Some people were twisting themselves into pretzels defending the core with “THE CAP IS GOING UP SO WE CAN BUILD AROUND THEM!” nonsense, completely ignoring the fact that they actually take up MORE percentage of the cap next year than they do this year.

    Just an incredibly mismanaged cap situation from start to finish, and their only likely reprieve will be to let a few of those highly paid players walk for nothing in return.

    Team built like a collection of trading cards

    paid for the victory lap before getting close to winning anything meaningful

    Tavares is never making 10+ again in his life

  8. TheOneWithThePorn12

    Yes this was always the squeeze year even if they didnt suck ass again.

  9. jcanada22

    This is crazy. This composition won’t win anything in the playoffs. Need to drop at least one of them.

    And stupid is what stupid does. Good luck to this loser organization. I can’t believe how many people are all of a sudden kissing Mitch’s ass again. Leafs may not even make the playoffs this upcoming season. And it serves them right.

    People talking on here like the solution is simple tho. JUST gotta trade for a Shea Theodore. Just gotta trade for a top 2 defenceman like it’s just signing a piece of paper.

  12. GoblinStats

    Honest question, what’s the next highest team for their top 4 paid players? Or, what team utilized 53% the best?

  13. I don’t know how many times you guys need to be beat over the head with this, but the fact that 3 of the 4 best forwards the leafs have had in the past 40 years are all on the roster at the same time, ISNT why were losing guys lol

    Holy fuck I hate it here

    Stamkos had it right when he implied the core 4 put themselves ahead of team success by being greedy.

  15. it’s gonna be whole offseason of slightly different versions of this same post isn’t it?

    This is kinda a dumb thread tbh, last year of mitch and JT deal. This is likely the peak of this situation happening on a math basis assuming Mitch is resigned and JT takes 1/2 to 2/3 discount.

    Hypothetically speaking it would be dumb to jetson out Mitch and keep Tavares from an age standpoint alone. We are Team building.. Tavares skating is gonna go full Jason Allison in the next 2-3 years. I’d rather keep Mitch, sign JT for 1/2 the price and kill off the combined salary of jarnkrok + kampff for a 5M forward

    uhhhhh why does the cap have to exist?

    More good players should be a good thing, not basically a way that punishes good drafting and forces teams to either throw away having a balanced roster or pay their stars what they’re worth

  18. Cal_Takes_Els

    Fuck shanny, fuck Lou, fuck dubas. What an absolute retard way to build a hockey team.

  19. potshed420

    As if the drop off is from 10 million to 2 lol

  20. thinkfast37

    I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that Marner – Berube coffee chat

    This might be the first season I don’t watch
