    Yeah I too wish my team didn’t have a 30 goal scorer at 2C.

    That's because it's not a very honest look at what the roster likely would be. If JT was never signed, they'd have had a lot more money all along the way. Kadri probably doesn't get traded to start with. Other guys we've lost due to cap constraints like Hyman and Mikheyev. Hell, good chance the Zaitsev move doesn't get made either and he's still a Leaf. The Leafs have made a lot of sacrifices over the years due to cap concerns and without the pressure of that 11 mil aav JT deal, the team would look much different than this.

    For his salary, he should be a 50-goal scorer.

    Guess they shouldn’t have kept Marner either then? And after this season they gotta move Matthews now too.

    No clue at all why you mention Matthews and Marner here. Matthews has scored at or well above a 50-goal pace for three seasons now and Marner was not a UFA signing. Also no clue why it's controversial to say Tavares has not quite lived up to the contract.

    Yep

    11mill be high for the Covid era yes but lets be real covid never happened we would see way more double digit deals and cap would be 95mill by now

    As thats what the plan was these deals would age well with the cap being stable. Then 2 years later covid shows up flat cap for 3 years followed by lower increase uh oh spaghetti oh

    Tbf Marner not being a UFA signing makes it worse, not better

    Okaaaay, if you say so. Doesn;t change the fact that Marner has provided a good bit more value than Tavares, who is the person we're talking about.

    The comment was about paying a guy 11illion and not scoring 50 goals.

    Yeah, I know. I said it. I'm not the one who brought Marner into it.

    It's a reasonable connection to make considering he makes in that range.

    Okay, but again, Marner was not a UFA signing. And he's closer to full value for his salary and worth a lot more. I get the salary connection, but that's about it.

    RFAs should be paid less than UFAs.

    The point was the 50 goal comment was dumb. That's all.

    But it's not. Boasting that some guy scores 30 every year when he is one of the top paid players in the league is not a boast at all, and especially when his play off the puck is subpar (yet another big edge Marner has on JT).

    No, he's saying that Tavares is an extremely good 2C.
