Description
Maybe with DJ coming back (apparently he likes him), he'd be willing to take a short-term deal while being told he'd get top lin duty and head to the UFA market when the cap skyrockets, making him more cash. Sort of a bet on yourself kind of deal. I know I am over the cap but I think the Leafs buy out Murray giving Ottawa more wiggle room. I know this is essentially rolling out the same team again but if healthy (I know that is a big If) I think they make the playoffs.

From what I understand, Cat wants to test Free agency and the agent was allowed to talk to multiple teams in order to iron out what his value was at around the league. If they find that they can sign elsewhere for a higher AAV than sure, he'd be willing to be traded.

Cat wants to stay, loves the city and loves the team. But if a team is gonna pony up more than what Ottawa offered over 8 years, than he gone.

That's why I thought he might be ok with going short term to make a tonne more cash (rebounding from a low year from him) and a rising cap. Allows him to hit UFA at 28 and make more than signing long term next year. If it is true he loves the area, he could test to see if he wants to stay, and make more money. Plus if he decides to leave, he could go somewhere before his kid is in school which Iknow some guys really care about.

Security - Risk = Guaranteed profit. Why wait 3 years when you can wait 1, pump up your points, maybe make the playoffs and then secure the bag in the offseason with Ottawa or otherwise.

Or skip the Risk and go straight for security in a non-tax state. Chase the money. I don't blame him.
