Thread: What Dubas should do year 1
The Leafs don’t have to move Horton. NHL teams can spend over the Cap in the off-season if need be, it is by 10%, the second the season is underway the Horton contract goes to LTIR which allows the team to spend that money, so as long as the Leafs don’t spend over the Cap by more then 5.3 million(Hortons Contract) then the contract has no effect on the Leafs in regards to Cap. They don’t need to move it.
So you are basically trading a 2nd, 3rd and a 7th for a 1st and players/prospects. Bracco and Rosen are both guys who could eventually play in the NHL, Carrick can play and will probably fit on a third pairing with some other team not the Leafs it’s just I don’t think Babs is a fan. Don’t move Nielsen, he is big, tough, nasty and can actually shoot and move the puck. He is really good.

I’m not sure the Jets would do that, they have something that is working really well. After next season they would likely have to let Myers or Gardiner walk anyway. They will need lots of Cap space after next year. The leafs have a guy in Brown who can score, forecheck, P.K. and play on any line with a favourable contract. That will be very important when they are against the cap after the Matthews/Marner/Nylander deals kick in.

Martin, Leivo and McElhinney all have to be moved I agree.

The Leafs will need Martins Cap room in 2 years
Leivo isn’t going to get a chance with the Leafs
The Leafs will either have to put McElhinney or Sparks on waivers next year. At 35, bye bye McElhinney...

Thread: ANAHEIM FANS
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs_fan123</b></div><div>jones is gonna be a bust no one values mccarron and 1 bad season that is comparable to nugent hopkins best He has almost hit 40 goals 3 times in the last 4. It is a bit of an overpayment but not that huge</div></div>

The thing is he had a bad season when he was the go to guy getting all the minutes and PP time. Every player that has retired will tell you that one day you wake up and it’s gone, the legs, the shot, the twitch muscle response is slower. Some players have it until 30 and some until 35 or whatever. But as patches has had serious injury in years past and is now 30, GM’s have to be careful not to get tied up into something like this.
Can he bounce back and prove it was just a down season? Sure he can, but will he? No one knows.
Teams are not paying so much value for what he is right now which is a 30 year old 17 goal winger.

Your logic is like saying Plekanec is still a second line scoring center because he was a couple years ago...

Thread: Please Bergevin
As The Habs are trying to restock the prospect cupboard, trading 3 second round picks in what is considered by many NHL analysts to have the potential to be the deepest draft since 2003 may not be a smart move.

that Calgary trade doesn't address The Flames need of a top line Right winger. I think they are willing to move both Brodie (a top 4 Dman) and Bennett (a highly regarded prospect that haven't met expectations but is still only 21) Your value is off.
I think Schlemko takes away from the value of Montreal's offer. The reason Brodie may be available is because the Flames have multiple prospects who they believe are NHL ready Dmen
I think Pacioretty has more value as a rental right now, he needs to have a bounce back season before anyone even considers committing to 5 years at 7 million. He is 30 years old coming off a 17 goal season. The extension takes away from his value as of right now.
Hudon and Rychel are both players who can't grab a fulltime spot on a weak team... they add nothing to the value, probably a negative effect because the Flames lose 2 contract spots. Even though I like the way Rychel plays he may just need an opportunity with some skilled guys...

Thread: This team doesn't need to do anything but sign who they got! Scary!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Plenty of time to worry about that. Little and Perreault should be easy enough to move and I doubt they really care about re-signing Myers as long as they have Trouba and Buff. They can find a 3rd pairing guy for way cheaper than Myers. Also, they would likely just buyout Kulikov.</div></div>

Being modest in terms of salary and assuming Laine scores 40+, Conner scores 30+, Wheeler cracks 80 points and they let Myers walk. They would probably have to come up with 8.5 + 6 + 7 = 21.5million. It could be more but lets just say...
Myers 5.5 + Little’s 5.3 + Wheeler’s 5.6 + Perrault’s 4.125 is 20.525 million. A buyout of kulikov will free up another 3 million ish which is now a total of 23.525 million to spend. We haven’t even considered bonus carryover... they need to move more salary then you think. They still have to fill the roster spots from the players moved out

Thread: Maple Leafs D-Shakeup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Britishbulldog</b></div><div>That's my point with Nylander. He hasn't either. Kadri was a more complete player that Nylander is now and was signed to a $4.5 MIL long term contract.

Nylander has been garbage in the playoffs scoring only 2 goals in 13 games and going -3 this year. If he isn't scoring than he should be shutting opponents down. He does neither but you folks want to pay him over $6 MIL. Wow.

Want to get flamed?? Post a trade of Nylander for $6.125 MIL Sheifele straight up.</div></div>

good lord you can't make that trade. Scheifele is a great Bargain and the jets signed him after his first good season and lucked out, he is also a top line center, Nylander is not you can't compare the two.
So with your logic Ryan Ellis at 2.5 mil per year, did we over pay Reilly??? with your logic Top 4 Dmen are worth 2.5 mil????
Crosby make 8.7 million
where would that put Eichel???
where will Matthews land?? 8.7... he will be 10+ all day long
players get paid dollar amounts based on what comparable players get in regards to Cap %
which means that if the cap goes up the player will likely get a higher dollar amount even though its the same or less Cap %
Crosby got paid 14.5% in 2012 which equaled 8.7 mil
Malkin got paid 14.77% in 2013 which equaled 9.5 mil
Eichel got paid 13.3% in 2017 which equaled 10 mil
Crosby actually was paid more then Eichel based on Cap %

If I were to find comparable for Nylander and what cap % they were paid I would look at
Hoffman 7.11% 5.2mil
Eberle 10% 6 mil
Huberdeau 8.08% 5.9mil
So, Willy should likely land around 7%-8%. Considering the Cap is likely to go up to 80 million this offseason and you can bet his agent will not sign before that which means based off a 80 mil Cap Willy would get 5.6-6.4 million per season. Granted, this is a small sample size but this is the way it works.

Somebody better like this ****.... Math Hurts my Brain!
