Thread: Leafs - 2 trades to set things right
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HollywoodHudon</b></div><div>Nylander sign and trade is possible, similar to how Severson went to CBJ.

As for the Toews and Kane deals... That was the cost of winning all those cups when the 2 of them were affordable! The price may be hefty, BUT certainly a price Leafs fans would HAPPILY pay!</div></div>

Nylander has a M-NTC .. with everyone wanting out of Winnipeg why would he accept a sign and trade there?

yes, that is the cost of winning the cups, but once those deals kicked in it crumbled the team .. but they won thats the difference between them and the leafs 2. you need to understand, they WON 3 cups BEFORE they got 10,500,000 each. with their lower cap hits out of their ELC they were able to surround them with a better supporting cast.

what did Matthews and Marner do to deserve such high salaries after their ELC? they haven't won anything.
so how is giving them MORE going to be beneficial?

Thread: Leafs - 2 trades to set things right
Winnipeg is not trading for Nylander unless an extension is in place. They have already said they want younger NHL ready players with term. they want guys they can keep not let walk after 1 year.
Scheifele is not going to take a pay cut for 1 year, he's 30 .. this will be his last chance to sign one more BIG contact. why would he take a pay cut?

if the leafs give Matthew and Marner $15,000,000 you know that means you have $30,000,000 tied up into 2 players. how do you build team success when you have 2 guys who take up more than 1/3 of your cap space?
if thats what Matthews wants then trade him now, get as much as you can in a return. teams don't have success tying up that much cap space in 2 players.

once Toews and Kane 10,500,000 contacts kicked in how successful were they? .. let me tell you, lost in the 1st round twice, missed the playoffs twice then lost in the 1st round again then missed the playoffs 3 years in a row.
