Thread: Leafs 2023 2024 Season Discussion - The Treleafs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Saying 4 players making 10 million is a pretty short sighted view and sure makes your argument pretty silly. It's 1 season of that and then JT takes a substantial pay cut. If you aren't going to be honest with the situation there is no conversation here</div></div>

I was going to make a similar comment....

If Willy and JT had opposite salaries...would anyone think it was odd? No.

And the only argument for not signing Willy @ $10m is so that we don't have 4 players in that bracket?

What happened to evaluating the player based on merit? If Willy puts up another year like last year, $10m is a reasonable number....and I agree that it would be worth it to number crunch for 1 year until JT either comes off the books or re-signs for 1/2 his current cost.

Good take from Lebrun</div></div>

LeBrun has it backwards. He's the one dissenting. The overwhelming majority of fans and players do not want this stuff in the game. Notice how few will protest this decision. I don't see how no longer forcing players to play politics on the ice is a step backwards, as he puts it.
