Thread: Matthews

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>What did I say that was funny?</div></div>

Every word of that statement. Arizona would LOVE to have Matthews as the highest paid player in the league, because it would be a marketing dream come true for a franchise that is litterly in the toilet from a PR standpoint (Propped up by the league, no stadium, no big named players).

And Erik Karlsson??? That is your comparison for a franchise Center? The guy with no knees that managed to put up gaudy numbers for a franchise that played zero defense?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>How does that sound appealing to Arizona at all?

As for his trade value as a pending UFA. Go look up Erik Karlsson, the value would be roughly the same</div></div>

LOL

He can be the highest paid player in the league and play for his home town. A deal would get done.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dtd_tank</b></div><div>I think he'll demand more, but with his injury history and inability to consistently play games, I think the most he'll get is $5.5-6M for 4 yrs.

Fair points, but GM's continue to over pay. And his skill set coveted.

Maybe he signed for the stability, not for the Leafs. Also he lives in BC and his fiancé lives in BC, I don't see him vetoing a trade to Van.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>Cap is gonna be expanding rapidly. Budgeting the way you are is worthless right now.

Sign Matts, figure out the rest. Besides - his slow start is probably helping us money wise right now</div></div>

His slow start is not going to make any difference in negotiating, he thinks he is the best player in the world and will expect to get paid like it.

Thread: Nylander

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>There's nothing wrong with them reallocating the same cap to the same 4 players, unless the cap becomes flat again. They don't need to move the guy who is going to be the cheapest most likely. Matthews is their 1C but at 16m that's 2m too much imo. They will be looking for a 1 and 2C which is a huge issue but I think they would be better off for it. Basically they will have to choose between Matthews and Marner the way I see it unless the division is something like this:

14m Matthews, 12.6m Marner, 9m Nylander, 5m Tavares. If Tavares is willing to go as low as 2 or 3m, then it makes it much easier to sign Marner. They could lock Matthews this off-season and delay Nylander to the end of next (risk losing him for nothing), and negotiate the extension on Marner and Tavares.</div></div>

JT makes $11 MIllion in 24 and 25. there is no negotiating a smaller contract.

Thread: Nylander

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>Okay, say you pay Matthews 16m, Nylander 10m, and Marner 14m, that leaves 0.5m for Tavares (or whoever the 2C is) if they wanted to sign the big 4 to the same 40.5m that they take now.

Actually I take that back, you sign Matthews and Nylander, and offer Marner 11m or the door.

The last option is letting Nylander go, sign Matthews 16m, Marner 14m, Tavares 5m, get a 5.5m Nylander replacement. I think that only works if there's an internal replacement for Nylander already.</div></div>

Someone else that can actually see the big picture.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Random2152</b></div><div>And the mask slips off. This never had anything to do with the cap. You are a bag head. That makes sense.

Everything you believe is wrong</div></div>

More than one thing can be true at the same time in the real world bro. We can have a cap issue and want to make changes to the core of the team to try to, you know, actually make it out of the first round. I am a big Willy Styles fan, but the big 3 contracts are not going anywhere. Sometimes sacrifices have to be made. But if you just want to continue calling me names, feel free.

Right it is much better to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.....

Yea, because status quo is working so well for the Leafs. This brings a better balance to the line up in my opinion.

I agree they could use him, but he is not a top pairing defenseman with Rielly.
