<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>Time will tell. He is 34 years old already. But you may be right. I struggle quite a bit accurately predicting UFA values.</div></div>

If he’s playing over 20minutes then he’s a legitimate top 4D. Those guys are at-least 4m. Problem is like you said, he’s 34, has a ton of miles on him, how long can he keep playing &gt;20min? Cuz if he ends up on the third pair then anything over 3m is an overpay. As this is his last chance to secure his bag, he could be looking for 4 years. It was the same scenario with the aging oreilly.

4 years 3.5m do you take it? Personally no. Not sure if you see the upright stiffness in his body positioning that I see (with oreilly too) but id say thats a good sign he’s losing mobility. Id much rather give him 2x4.5. Even that could be risky. So although I agree with you 2x3.5 could be his fair value, based on what oreilly and schenn got I wouldnt count on it. He’d be taking a discount

Like Lou never did anything to try and fix that awful Dcore and there was a good chance back in 2018 with JTM and McDonagh trade


In general prospects and ELC's are nice but so is winning a cup and our window aint big enough to wait for someone. Drafting top 4 Dman aint easy and were not gonna have a super high pick anyways. Spend it on a nice Dman with term and go from there who can help now

Noah Hanifin, Rasmus Andersson, etc.</div></div>

There are really few good Dmen with term available. Seems like waste this year if they spend young assets on a UFA. This summer Leafs have about 8m to spend on two UFA Dmen. Surely the Leafs can upgrade for 24/25.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>You have Auston Matthews on this team along with Marner and Willy just entering or in their primes

You go for it

Who cares for the 1st we dont need prospects rn who are not gonna be NHL ready for 3+ years. Matthews wont be doing this forever

Well I kinda disagree. One reason the Leafs aren't true contenders is they keep on trading their picks for youngsters for upcoming UFAs. Then come the summer the Leafs are forced to try to find failing older UFA at prices. Instead of having good ELC players who play above their cap, Leaf get worse players to compliment the star.
Your could argue the Leafs were just as good when the had Matthews, Nylander and Matthews on their ELCs (losing in seven to to Bruins). cause they had so much cap to spend other players, well if they had spend that money wisely.
Actually next season the Leafs have a little more cap flexibilty., maybe that's a better chance of success rather than this year.
