double Carlo's deal, get Studnicka in there and scratch Backes and it looks pretty good.

I read it as Leafs Layerz. It didn't make much sense to me but I thought I at least found a fellow Leafs sufferer. LOL!

Good luck with Carolina. May the best team win.

So for all the bluster you have about Leaf fans not giving their players fair contracts on here you have nothing to say with McAvoy getting that contract? Maybe he'll sign that cap hit for 2-3 years but according to fans, this is a kid who's going to win the Norris in the near future.

As a winger coming off his ELC getting 12+ million which you are adamant Marner is going to make. McAvoy is supposed to be Jones level good that's huge money or is it different because it's your favourite team?

Again, you’re ignoring his group 1 status. It kinda means a lot. Marner could (he won’t) sign an offer sheet. Mcavoy can’t. 7x7 for a group 1 would be more unprecedented than the Matthews deal. At least that’s happened once before with Crosby

Doesn't matter, McAvoy is a stud he won't take a massive discount

Okay, where’s the discount? I do see what you’re doing, but group 1 makes a massive difference, which is why he’ll bridge

Oh for sure he'll at least Bridge but its not a 7 year at 7 million bridge. It'll be 7x3 or something like that. He's getting big money and likely sign for a very short time hoping to get a bigger deal in a few years.

Well 7 years isn’t a bridge. Sweeney is pretty tough on his own free agents. Mcavoy will want to get to group 2, and he’ll want to get to arb rights, and Sweeney will make him pay for that. I’m thinking 3x5

Is that 3 million for 5 years? If so, come on man! The times have changed, Dubas isn't paying Matthews and Marner big bucks because he's weak, its the market now for young stars. Players in their 30's aren't getting the big bucks anymore because they aren't worth it. Players want to maximize their earnings and getting the money while they are in their prime vs after it is how you maximize earnings. Just look at LA, Kopitar shouldn't be getting 7 million let a lone 10, Seabrook? Backes? All guys who give GM's all the ammo in the world to say, no you aren't getting big term and money now that you are 29. So players want that money when they are going to be playing their best hockey. From 23-29 that way they won't feel it as much as other guys who took longer bridge deals that covered much of their prime.

McAvoy deserves around 7 and Sweeney can be as hard as he wants but it'll sour really quickly if he lowballs the player.

5 years isn’t a bridge. He’s a group 1. I don’t think you know what a group 1 is.

You are using Group 1 as a way to justify not giving McAvoy a fair contract. It doesn't matter if he can't get an offer sheet, he can sit out and his agent will absolutely do that, its not frowned upon by players. Pastrnak is on record saying he is proud of how Nylander was willing to sit out. He said he had no regrets for signing his contract but thought it was smart for Nylander to hold out. Players understand that guys are looking at a secure future. So in McAvoy's case he's going to sign 1-3 years and it'll still be over 5 million. I'd bet 5 for 1 year, 6 for 2 or 7 for 3.

1 and 2 years are both very player friendly terms. 3 and 4, 7 and 8 are more team friendly. 5 and 6 are also player friendly. Keep that in mind.

Again, I don't think you know what group 1 RFA means.

There is no such thing as a Group 1 RFA. There are 2 types of RFA's. Group 2 and Group 4. Both can receive offer sheets however if it is a group 4 player, no compensation is required.

I have spent a fair amount of time looking into this and every article that I have found has only mentioned Group 2 and Group 4 Restricted Free Agents. There is no Group 1. I believe a Group 1 is just simple UFA.

negative. This has happened before. Heck, it's happened twice in Boston the last couple years. Krug and Reilly Smith both came up after 2 years because they didn't play 10 NHL regular season games in their first year (both signed right after college). Neither were eligible for an offer sheet. Neither is McAvoy. For example as to how this effects negotiations, Krug signed for 1.4 million off his ELC. NHL d men that put up 40 points don't normally get 1.4 million.

And this stops a player from holding out? McAvoy will sign a 2 year deal tops and I bet its at or around 6 million.

maybe. That's such a player friendly term though I kind of doubt it. Not only does that get him to group 2, it gets him to arb rights. 3 or 4 years and 6 is fine. I think 2 would be significantly less. Who knows though. No group 1 guy has ever gotten big money on a bridge. He might go real small for one year so he can get some more negotiating rights. We'll see, it's a tough prediction to make as there really aren't many situations that have been similar to point at.

Ahh, I have an example. Johnny Gaudreau. He was a group 1 RFA. couldn't negotiate an offer sheet, and he got a 6 year deal at 6.75 after a point per game season with 30 goals, and led the forward group for TOI by a significant margin. There's a lot more statistical ammunition for Johnny to get paid, but I think we can both agree that his resume through two years was a bit more impressive than McAvoy's right? All things considered, it really looks like that contract is taking a haircut, no? Well, group 1 RFA will do that to you.

Now, as for holding out....c'mon. There have been two guys in recent memory that held out. It's pretty rare.

Come on man, you have to see how you are playing two sides here. Every Leaf fan that give Marner less than 10 million you jump on saying to add 2-3 million to the contract and are totally flopping on McAvoy. He's supposed to be your best defenceman and a future Norris winner and you want to low ball him. The market has changed since Gaudreau signed, I bet he is kicking himself for going 6 years. He could have done a 2 year 5 million deal and would have a contract north of 9 million now for 8 years. McDavid and Draisaitl have changed the market and now young studs get paid. Either McAvoy is a stud and will get a 2 year bridge before really getting paid or he's going to get a huge long term deal. I don't think that makes sense at this point but Trouba asked for 7 million in arbitration last year and McAvoy is supposed to be more highly touted. I'd wager its going to cost a lot to get him to sign for more than 2 years.

What does that matter to McAvoy and his agent? He's supposed to be your best defenceman, why would he take less money just because he can't get offer sheeted? There hasn't been an offer sheet in years because they are a useless tool. The media and fans spin this phantom bargaining tool but its a useless thing. So whether he's a group 1 or not isn't going to make a huge deal. He's a stud and he won't leave millions on the table because its team friendly. Boston has gotten really lucky with contracts but I think its about to change. Your defence is going to get big money.
