8 yrs at the same salary ? 56 million with a 20 team trade list might work. If it's 8 yrs at 9.5, 10 million, sorry, thank you . Trade him now
I'm sure Dangle would love a no cap so they could spend money like the Yankees and Dodgers in MLB to win. Unfortunately that doesn't always work and would love seeing the excuses why leafs lost. The Tavares contract is why they are in this predicament. Great player but name another 11 million dollar second line center.
I don't know how anybody argues to pay more for players whose current salaries prevent the team from attaining the defense and goaltending it needs. While it's said that doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity, I'm more inclined to believe it's flat out stupidity.
U can't fit them all and have a competitive team. Figure it out. We have 2 shed salary 2 get better.
Keep Nylander and trade mathews for the assets Toronto needs to become a contender.
There’s only 2 years left of JT. Hold on for two years, let JT’s contract run out. He’s likley to sign a very team friendly contract at the end. ‘25-‘26. Why get rid of one of the big three younger players at this point? Just wait out two seasons, roll with what you have try to inject some youth. Use that time to develop some of the younger guys. They aren’t winning a Stanley Cup with or without these players. They may be in a better situation with JT as a winger in a few years at $4mil team friendly deal.
No – no – no – NO LONG CONTRACTS.
I’d rather someone come in Negan skull bash the core 4 than give them substantial raises.
What have they accomplished!?
Hell no ! Trade his sorry ass out of Toronto as fast as you can. Gutless, self serving player who will never pay a physical price to make a play
Later in the podcast, they were talking about how Treliving was giving contracts to players into their mid 30s and yet they want to give Nylander a $9M contract into his late 30s?
Sell Nylander on the cap rising in a few years and get him to sign for 3 or 4 years for no more than $8M. And if he is still a fit in years 5-7, give him another 3 year contract with another bump.
If he’s not taking that move him while he is hot to one of the 22 teams he’ll accept a trade too.
Nylander 8×9.25
Matthews 8×15 or 5x 13.34
Marner is the one you need to make the call on. A trade with him changes the team significantly (better or worse) and can net you a significant return as he has two years left
Nylander is the only leaf consistent in every playoff game to score or assist out of the core 4 to me id try to trade Tavares or marner get 2 great players for 1
Ah yes, let's lock up more money into a cap that we already can't afford!
What salary do you think he would want? 8-9m?
Trade Marner before his NTC kicks in July 1st.
Nylander will ask for a large bump to his bargain $6.9 M existing contract, say $8 M or even $9 M AAV for a 40-goal scorer. If they resign Matthews to $14 M AAV, how can they retain Willy?
TRADE. HIM!!!
Think what else we need, and can get with that 9 (or more) million over the next 8 years?!?!
You know…there something called letting someone go?
Marner over willie anyday
8 years for Nylander?😂🤣😂 Good one. Which team? Maybe Winnipeg, when he gets traded for Hulybuck?
All the money comes from the end of JT’s deal ends and he comes back at less than half. Also trade Mitch, Christ almighty I am sick of him.
