Thread: Tavares 19-20
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>steve22king</b></div><div>Unfortunately you can't simply hide Horton's contract...Anyone who thinks Marner or Nylander is worth over 7.25 a piece is an idiot...Don't listen to them...We need Marleau gone...We need Horton's contract to be packaged up with some draft picks and we don't need Tavares unless he took a home discount but that's not happeneing..</div></div>


Were hiding the Horton contract right now. You just put him on LTIR which allows them to spend 5.3M over the cap. So in this exercise they are spending 1M over cause they still have 4M left

I agree a potential discount is in order for him to come here. Matthews and Tavares both taking 7 year deals at 10.5M would be value signings but if they want to win, it'd be worth it for them. That's still top 5 money in the NHL

Thread: Tavares 19-20
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>C'mon man.....

Both Marner and Nylander are going to ask for Draisaitl $$$$$$, there is just no way around that... That's who their agents are going to compare them to and they wouldn't be off doing it either...

There is no way the Leafs can sign Tavares and still keep all three of Matthews, Marner and Nylander.. Obviously Matthews is going nowhere so Marner or Nylander would have to go... Sorry but you cant have your cake and eat it too.

However with all that said it may not be a bad idea signing Tavares and then trading one of Marner or Nylander.... I mean Lou could get a pretty good package for either and the Leafs could use a stud defenseman - a future anchor of the blue line and/or a PP QB.. But there is no way the Leafs can retain Tavares, Matthews, Marner &amp; Nylander - that's just not going to happen...</div></div>

They can ask for Draisaitl money all they want but it doesn't mean they're going to get it. Chiarelli blew it giving him that contract, that was the highest 2nd contract in NHL history if you don't include McDavid

Pastrnak just got 6 years 6.7M. Ehlers got 7 years, 6.0M

Just cause one bad GM did it, doesn't mean the Leafs are going to. Marner and Nylander combining for somewhere around 14 is very realistic

Thread: Manson for JvR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Larkinisking</b></div><div>The JVR for Manson trade has already been shot down numerous times. And no way is Murray trading both Manson and Vatanen it's one or the other. And more then likely Vatanen.</div></div>


You geniuses do realize that they're going to lose one of Vatanen or Manson if they don't trade them right. Would they rather get something tangible in return or lose them to Vegas for nothing? They can't afford to lose Silfverberg for nothing either so something has to give. The way their roster looks they're better off keeping Silfverberg over Vatanen

I admit the Tampa trade is a bit lackluster. My point was Vatanen should get traded for prospects/picks cause its better than losing him to Vegas for nothing.
