Thread: Most expensive contracts

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bolts_Fan_Dan</b></div><div>How much more can a player in Toronto make in endorsement than he can in Tampa</div></div>

that's another thing, tampa is a small market, some guys don't want to be the face of a franchise and have their face plastered all over billboards/commercials etc.

you can make a lot of money but a lot of guys hate playing in big markets, where-as a lot of tampa players get to live with more reclusiveness, they aren't a walking icon everywhere they go

helps that the team resides in one of the lowest taxed states in the country.

assuming you are on a $9.5M contract, a player in toronto (for example), takes home about $4.45M per year, where-as a player in tampa takes home $5.78M per year. over an 8 year contract, that's like $11M dollars difference at the exact same cap hit

<strong>I'd say he's a first line winger whose responsible defensively</strong>. Don't think being assigned mostly Dzone starts is his primary role.</div></div>

that's more what I meant - among other superstar offensive guys he's decent defensively. also of the core 4, he was used the most in the defensive zone at 5v5, like the team definitely dabbles in deploying him as a more defensively responsible guy

Thread: What Could Have Been

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>I mean yes he kills penalties. But I would not label a 90 point player as a defensive player. Two way maybe. But he's just as much a powerplay specialist as you are saying PK specialist. He's just good. Solid player</div></div>

I just meant that to his comparables, he's pretty decent defensively

that was especially true in 18/19, he definitely slipped and had all round down year in 19-20, partially due to injury, but he was still decent. He's also just turned 23, he has a lot of time to clean his game up

Thread: What Could Have Been

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dzad96</b></div><div>No. But he does kill penalties and blocks shots. He is a lot more responsible defensively than people give him credit for. definitely is not a liability.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>I agree with that statement. I would say taht for a first line winger (who typically tend to neglect defensive responsibility) he is quite good defensively. <strong>Saying he’s a defensive winger is absurd.</strong></div></div>

well he's obviously not going to be a selke-winning winger anytime soon, but he led the team in PK minutes, that's obviously the role that's been assigned to him, and he's done reasonably well, has he not? He plays a hell of a let better defence than some of his comparables

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Just, just want to clarify something here.
Mitchell Marner is a defensive winger?</div></div>

he was the teams most used penalty-killing forward by a mile, yes. also was second on the team in takeaways, has had decent defensive numbers considering the minutes he's tasked with, opposition he's faced off against and the offence he's generated

Thread: What Could Have Been

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jah1722</b></div><div>Based on the philosophy, are you for or against trading Marner shall TOR continue to struggle in the playoffs?</div></div>

marner has 21 points in 25 playoff games, he's a defensive winger, and the last 2 years scored at a pace that placed him or would have placed him (in the 19-20 season) in the top 10 point-producers in the NHL

why does trading him help us not struggle in the playoffs lol?

the leafs needed a dependable 1B to help rielly, who can do a little of everything, they didn't need a bonified superstar RD. The leafs do however need the offence that marner brings, he's one of the best wingers in the league and he's only improving

Forum: Armchair-GMJan 7 at 5:31

Thread: What Could Have Been

yeah idk this team is worse. brodie doesn't bring as much offence as pietro but he's very solid defensively, is $4.4M cheaper and is signed 3 less years

that extra $3.8M can go into a great defensive 3C in kerfoot, allow us to keep a very underpaid dermott who showed flashes of being a top 4 guy etc. etc.

not putting big money into pietro was a good move imo

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hwjw</b></div><div>Rental? He has 4 years of team control.
The defensive struggles are overstated. He has improved dramatically since he entered the league.

Also, wasn’t Engvall buried in the minors this year?

Agree to disagree then. Both teams say no, apparently.</div></div>

well the leafs certainly wouldn't be able to keep him, we'd have no cap space lol, so it's a rental basically.

Also engvall is with the team, he's waiver exempt so he won't play every night but he's a valuable defensive 4th liner, and the coach likes him

role players like kerf/engvall, in addition to the billion other assets are of a lot more use to us imo. laine is a good player, terrible fit for the leafs.

Thread: Because why not try all in this year

ngl I'd rather keep 2 solid 2 way players in kerfoot/engvall, in addition to all those prospects and picks

kerfoot is a great, chippy 2way centre and engvall, even tho his production sucked, was really good defensively and also happens to be like 6'5"

he's adapted his game for years now. He's a big slow guy, but he's adept at using his size. Especially at wing, playing two elite youngsters he won't have nearly as much defensive responsibility as he did at centre
