Created by: Spaceman

Team: 2023-24 Toronto Maple Leafs

Initial Creation Date: May 26, 2023

Published: May 26, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Matthews will command the highest cap hit. You can't win with a guy making 13-14 million per. There's also the American factor and the likelihood he won't resign and just walks to a big US market. He will also command the highest return out of Marner or Nylander.

Tavares is the one who should be traded but you can't with the NMC and his refusal to waive it.

I question the long term viability of the human race, solely on the people who think Arizona could ever pay for Matthews.

Team that struggled to payout bonuses a couple of years ago, suddenly signs a giant contract that is inevitably bonus-heavy? Absoluteeeeeely

What were his July 1st bonuses on the last contract? 15.2 mil a couple of years in a row?

Not to mention who the Ef knows where they'll be playing.
