Leafs aren't taking a worse goalie than Sparks. But Leafs and 30 other teams. would pay Heed more.

50's point scorer isnt signing for 2.5 even if it is a bridge.
Pavelski and jumbo joe gonna get more too.
San Jose are gonna have to make some big changes

oh just trade Labanc or Meier you know they aren't sacrificing themselves just because SJ wants to pay half their money to 5 guys

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the leafs depth at goalie, just kind of put that on there as a placeholder that SOME team would want him for a low draft pick. And good point about Heed, a lot of choices comin up!

Labanc sure. Meier NEVER

I'd let Labanc walk if he wants more than 4. I really don't think Pavs and Jumbo will ask for more as they've both hinted at a hometown discount to help the team win. But if Pavelski decides to go elsewhere or demand $6m+ we could always replace him with Nyquist. Not ideal but a possibility. Couture is ready for that C!

I would really hate watching Timo Meier and Kevin Labanc leave. Unless someone offer sheets them hard, I think Doug Wilson will try to match unless it gets bogus.
