Thread: Dubas the dummy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptainFlynnt</b></div><div>It is though. I straight up said TB has a history of giving out 3 year bridge contract to guys coming off of ELC's.

The point is that just because Toronto does things there way does not mean another team has to follow suit. So far Marner and Matthew's are the only RFA's who got both the term and AAV they wanted. No other team in the league is operating that way, you want less term? Ok we are lowering your AAV. You want a high AAV? Ok but we are signing you to 8 years so it is worth the investment.

Toronto failed to do that.</div></div>
You were correct on 3 years and I got close to what I said 7 X 3 . I don’t understand why these leafs fans think they are experts. Dubas done this to himself by giving Mathews a ridiculous overpayment. That made Marner demand the same. Everyone outside of Toronto knew dubas painted himself in a corner. The rest of the league didn’t have to follow suit.

Thread: Dubas the dummy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaptainFlynnt</b></div><div>Different teams and management have there own philosophies on how to manage their team. An athletic article about Tampa bay specifically recently came out showing how they usually sign young guys to a cheap 3 year bridge deal and then they sign them long term afterwards.

Johnson, killorn, palat, kucherov, vasilevsky, etc.

The highest cap hit of any of those players on 3 year deals so far, Kucherov $4.766M. A lot better than paying $11M for your RFA's.

Brisebois is currently offering Point less than $6M on a 3 year deal. Tampa Bay has taxes going for them, but even with that they are doing way better than Toronto at getting players to buy in.

Honestly I have no idea what Toronto was thinking when it came to Matthews.

I have no idea why Nylander wasn't traded after pulling the stunt he did.</div></div>

Yes you understand also. These so called experts on here that post thousands of post and think they are always right have no clue what they are talking about
It makes me want to quit this site because they constantly post nonsense and then make fun of people who know what they are talking about
Good job on knowing your stuff

Thread: Signing Point
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>I_Know_Nothing_About_Hockey_Or_Any_Sport2</b></div><div>This is not a discount. This is what he would get for eight years. I know he’s a center, but I don’t understand how he can possibly justify a better deal than the Hart winner with multiple 100+ point seasons, nor the Vezina winning goalie who was a two-time finalist. His closest comparable on the team is Stamkos, and the AAV would be similar on a long-term deal. Marner was overpaid, but that doesn’t mean every RFA is getting overpaid.</div></div>

Marner was paid fairly for Toronto because dubas set the bar
Other teams don’t have to be stupid like dubas
That being said I feel 7 million for 3 or maybe 8 million on a 5 or 6 year deal
Again my opinion. I might be wrong but I can’t see Tampa going over 8 million for his team comparison and cap space
