Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed William Nylander (8 Years / $11,500,000 AAV)
In a vacuum, this is a good deal just based on what Nylander brings to the table. He is worth the money and should continue to be through most of the contract. The last few years won't be as bad with the higher cap as well.

The problem is the structure of this team. I just don't think you can give 4 players 50% of the money and ice a complete roster. I have the feeling the Delta between JT+Marner now compared to JT+Marner with their upcoming extensions won't be much, if anything. JT will see his pay come down, I honestly don't know what a 'fair' number will look like, and Marner will go up. Probably something around 13-14 million/year. So even if JT takes 6-8 million on the next deal, the core four will still cost around 50% of the cap.

Thread: Whats The Cost Seattle Fans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KrakenTheCode</b></div><div>For all the reasons listed by ATC above, I don't think the Kraken would seriously consider moving Daccord. However, if Edmonton or another team were to make an offer, the cost would undoubtedly be quite steep. Given Seattle has had goalie issues of their own in the past and Daccord is on the best run of form by a Kraken goaltender ever, I think right now you're looking at a first round pick or a conditional second round pick that becomes a first if Edmonton makes a certain round of the playoffs (a la the Fleury to Minnesota deal) to get Seattle to listen.</div></div>

Yeah it just doesnt make any sense short or long term. We've had a run of some truly awful goaltending, this guy comes out of nowhere and gives us hope and we're gunna deal that for picks?

If he werent signed for next year too I might consider it. But goaltending being what it is in the nhl, Im happy to ride this high until the carriage turns back into a pumpkin lol.

Thread: Did a deep search into defense and these 2 are exactly what we need
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsmustwin</b></div><div>I think if a little bit of what NSH or SEA wanted was offered it could work , not too much more I think would get either.</div></div>

Nashville paid a second for Lauzon and he's pretty much the same player. They have Stastney that could maybe step in for him but I'm not sure if that's ideal for Nashville. Don't think they are in a rush to trade him. He's young, signed for a few more years at a cheap cap hit. Sure they will listen to offers, as every team will for almost every player, but unless it's beneficial for them why do it? This deal is not close to being worth it.
Seattle doesn't have a replacement platter for Borgen. Schultz is a UFA and likely moves on. Moving him would really hurt there defender this season and next. Also again, he's young and cheap.
For the same reason you want those guys, so do their respective teams. Moving either would make both teams worse and neither team is wanting to be worse. Very limited market on defensemen this year I feel.
