Leafs signed Benoit to a 1x1.35, and their fans are very insecure about it xD

Are we? Seems to be one of the few signing where the general consensus is that it's great

What kind of contract do y'all think Elias Lindholm is going to sign in the offseason?

Yea either 5-6.1m range

As to which team 0 idea but it will be one to maximize his totals so he can get his 8-9m in 2025-2026

Cause yea rn I dont know if anyone will give him above 7m

If the Isles buy out Lee they should Jump on him

BOS could be an option too

Some team like Boston is going to pay his price, everyone is going to raise an eyebrow, then he's going to have a career year

~6m, 4-5y

Pay his price?? I think that 6 is upside down; he was wanting like $9m

He'd be a fool to sign that deal.

Lindholm:

I wouldn’t be upset if stl went after him. After shipping orielly and barbashev, there’s room for a Lindholm. Stl is a lot more interesting if Schenn and Buchnevich are full time wingers. Right now our depth chart beyond Thomas is Kevin hayes then a guy who’s playing his 3rd nhl game or a guy who’s played 47 nhl games, or a winger in disguise. After that the depth chart hits the OHL. That’s the opposite of having enuff centers.

I think he’s going to get a big bag. A big cap bump will facilitate more interested bidders. I think Hertl’s contract is an excellent comparable.

Perhaps 8.5million AAV over 7 years is fitting. Def won’t be the best contract your gm ever offered, but the environment is one of extremely limited choices and options.

I think he goes in asking for way too much, no one bites because he's been legit bad for 2 straight years. And ends up signing a 1/2 Year Deal with a fringe team in 5-7M range. To try proving that he still has it.

Similar to what Klingberg did a year ago.

Yea nobody rn is giving him that unless he goes back to 2020-2021 version

Which rn is doubtful. That's why I feel a 1 year deal's coming unless he decides to take a discount and stay in Van longterm

Lindholm: I could see the Leafs in on him as we know Tre is a fan of his (Having offered 9x8 already, I think, and acquiring him via trade)

I could see him pulling a Duchene and signing for 1 year ultra cheap on a good offence as well and rack up those points...

I don't know though

Assuming his production stays the same for the rest of the year, teams like the Capitals Bruins and CBJ might offer him a 7mx3 deal.

Leafs fans are always insecure about even the most insignificant things, that’s to be expected

Thinking it's now an ideal time, to re-post my 1:1 Hyman for Ullmark trades from last fall when w/ Jay W. & the OIL were @ 2W and 9L!!!

Too early????

Minnesota with the blunder of the year as they lose in OT with their goalie pulled, which also means they forfeit the extra point

Wouldn't call it a blunder. They need every point they can get and did the same thing with a successful result earlier in the year.

That’s also a dumb rule, let coaches run the risk, it makes for more interesting OT’s and higher stakes

If they NEED every point - shouldn't they have preserved the '1-pt in the bank' for tie in reg time, then dice-roll for the next pt?

I feel bad for Laffy... Signs his first non-ELC contract of his career - Matthews signs his extension

Gets his first career Hatty - Matthews becomes the 9th player to hit multi 60 goal seasons

Good for Laffy though

I guess Ryan Hartman threw his stick at a ref. Didn’t see video of it, but was watching that game. I guess it happened after the final whistle? Pretty sure that throwing sticks at refs never ends well. Ryan gonna get dinged pretty hard I feel.
