Thread: Kadri or Nylander
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>LOL. Defenseman are underrated. Defense wins championships buddy.</div></div>

Does Carolina's defence win championships? Does St Louis? Who was the last elite defensive team to win the cup? Washington? They are good but not great. Pittsburgh? The first of their back to backs was won with Hainsey playing top minutes for crying out loud.

The NHL is changing and team balance and depth across all positions is very important and having stars to carry the load is vital. TO has the stars and they have very good depth across most positions. They could use an upgrade on Hainsey in the top pair, he lowers Rielly so much, but beyond that they have everything they need to challenge for the cup.

Carolina though, their amazing defence can't get them into the playoffs. At what point do you start questioning your reasoning on this?

Thread: Nylander what if
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Davisoc</b></div><div>Good point</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LoganOllivier</b></div><div>That wouldn't affect the cap calculations though, it would still use the average cap hit in all calculations regardless of the percentage of signing bonuses. Would it not?

Eitherway doesn't that give TO even more power? Since they have more money than all other teams in question they would be more eager to use that financial might?</div></div>

No it would not, it is only affected by salary. So What you would do is the days missed calculation from the charts by cap friendly only using 650k then add the signing bonus 6.35m on top afterwards. Regardless of what Toronto wants to do this season nylander will get a max signing bonus this season. Nylander is going to want the money one way or another and this allows us to pay it out now. Think of it this way. Nylander is set to lose 2.3m dollars this season by dec 1. This is 2.3m that we can pay in bonus and deduct from the remainder of contract. If nylander wants 7x6 we could realistically pay him 6.54m with first year signing bonus of 7m and he would make the exact same amount of money. This works out much better for both the leafs and nylander because his cap hit would be 6x6.54. This works well for both the leafs and nylander, where as the cap friendly chart sign him on December 1st works out to be less beneficial to the leafs and does absolutely nothing for nylander as all money saved in the cap hit nylander would lose in the first season.
