Quoting: felixxx07
It helps them making them sign both Matthews, Marner and Nylander...
If the leafs dont trades some big salaries, they 'll have no choice to trade Nylander!
Just to prove you wrong, I will give the big 3 the high end of a fair contract's aav (~250-500k more), and will even overpay the depth.
