Carrick takes 50% cut in pay? It might not be possible to keep everyone. And if Dermot, Grundstrom and others deserve raises (even with Marleau leaving), maybe there isn't enough cap in 2020/21. Not saying that having too many good players deserving of their money is bad thing.

I wanna keep every too

Thought I resigned him at what they had him, oops either way he is really just a depth guy we could live without him bring up Sandin. I think playing the youngsters on the fourth line will cut into those raises. Dermitt will be due for a raise, with Seattle coming in should get a big bump in the cap. Couple of bridge deals maybe till that pans out.

Dermitt will get Gardner 4M. Gardner will walk at the end of the season we don’t need him

Dermitt still has 2 years left on elc, and I would say yes we do need gardiner. Great offensively and defensively. Couple of stumbles but what a great skater and puck mover.

We going to need some dMan and 4 or more million for him. When Dermitt can give us the same offensive

Or we keep them both, later on down the line if gardiner has to go we deal him off at the deadline.

Good luck with nylander at 6.5 and marner at 7 JVR just got 7!

I think 6.5 is a bit high, think we will get him for 6 and Marner yup 7, seems about right. Philly overpaid for what Jvr brings. But what he does bring is goals, and that’s proven. 36 last year which is 5 shy of Marner’s 2 seasons worth at 41. Jvr was also a ufa, Marner is an Rfa, But I wouldn’t expect a habs fan to know the difference....

Kane got 7. You think 6.5 is fine?! Look at new signings recently and see if that is fair for nylander "But I wouldn’t expect a habs fan to know the difference...." Well thats kind and I do

Again you are comparing another ufa...you do understand this right? Elhers-6m, Forsberg-6m, Pastrnak 6.66m.

All before cap raises look at drai eichel

Two point per game centres that put up more goals than nylander... still comparing apples to oranges. The fact is that if we have to let someone go it will be gardiner. Would like to keep him but dubas will have to work some magic.

Jack Eichel had LESS points the marner and 3 more than nylander the definately means eichel should have 4 mil more than nylander Not to mention both leafs had more than eichel last year

I will go my on drai tho

Marner 82games 22g 47a ... winger
Eichel 67games 25g 39a ....franchise center ... and overpaid in my opinion.
Matthews 62games 34g 29a ... franchise center will take 10-11m and play on a great team

Do I really need to go over nylander’s stats??? You just don’t seem to understand.
