With the Blues, he probably will get offered a deal very similar to OEL, and which would be a home team discount 100%. On the open market, he could break $10 million AAV. If Toronto has any shot at landing him (and I personally think there money is better spent on re-signing Muzzin and others), it will take max term, making him 37 years old when the contract expires. Even if the Leafs could convince him to take a hometown discount (different than home team, obviously :P) the number will probably be around $9.5 million AAV over 7 years to get it done. Unless the salary cap drastically increases next season, which I don't believe it will, I just believe he's priced himself out of Toronto. Now, if the Leafs were willing to trade William Nylander to make some room, well that's another issue.
