Nylander will want 10+.

Trade half of the core. Marner and Nylander out

For starters nobody is worth 13m per
Next up the JT NMC is problematic
Lastly if it’s broke fix it

Summary: big change on the big 4 has to change somehow.

If Matthews signs for that, there will be partying in the streets. As much as I like Nylander, I like Hanifin more and Marner should be traded for more depth at cheaper cap hits

You cant have that much money on 4 players you need to trade some of them as this 40M on 4 players isnt working

Impossible to put a roster together with this

Only player that's worth over $10M is McDavid (and maybe MacKinnon), so Matthews is definitely not worth $13M.

I actually agree, don't think they will break it up even though many people want to. Matthews will be in the $13-$13.5M range I think, but Nylander will be more than that I think. Probably in the $9-10M range.

Nylander around 10. Matthews 13.5-14

If Matthews is in it for the money he'll sign a 2yr deal avv of 13-13.5m/yr so he can resign at 15-16m/yr when the cap goes up 5-10m in the next couple of years. If he really wants to win he'll lock in for 8yrs for what he is making now or roughly close too.

Nylander is probably looking at 9m a year. I doubt Dudas or his replacement is gonna want 4x 10m players lol

I know something will happen this summer, but my money is on trying to move JT somehow or players like Brodie, Murray to open up another 10m in cap space.

Tavares wont be 11M soon enough, although they will still be paying 40M on 4 players probably.
