Hello leafs1967 and BreKel. Thank you for your comments and they might be closer to reality than what I wrote. But, I think we are approaching untold silliness when guys come of their RFAs and we think they all are deserving huge salaries. I know stats aren't everything but Linholm and Trouba are 30 point Dmen. Other RFA silliness Jones of Columbus, maybe McKinnon of the Avs. Gee, Kucherov signed for "just" 4.6m. Maybe Kucherov should be the norm.
I admit I don't watch Lindholm that much, but he is worth 7% of your cap? Zaitsev might be as good as any Leaf Dman, does he get 6m next year? I know it's long way away (3 years) but if Marner and Matthews, Nylander (2 years) want and deserve big raises, the Leafs will be in the same position as the Ducks.
