Thread: Better Blueline - Keep Big 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>First off, the cap has gone up since those contracts were signed. 7 million is logical for Nylander. As for Matthews, I think the number is 12. Entry level 40 goal scorers don't grow on trees. He'll certainly get more than Eichel, and I would think it would be considerably. Just under McDavid, seeing as how their a year apart seems fair to me.</div></div>

Ehlers and Pastrnak contracts are only a year old. Cap has gone up 4.5 million since then, how much higher should one players contract be after that? I already have Nylader and Marner making about half a million higher than those guys.

And Gaudreau had a point per game, 30 goal season before his extension. Have Marner or Nylander done that? No, they've been around 20+ ish goals and 60-70 points.

Thread: Better Blueline - Keep Big 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drew1871</b></div><div>Zero chance Matthews signs for less than JT.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>Well sure, it's real easy when literally everyone takes a discount. That won't happen though.

Also, I'm pretty sure the second the leafs signed tavares it stopped being the big three.</div></div>

I'm not so sure Matthews gets the same or more than Tavares. It's RFA vs UFA contracts. UFAs are always more expensive. Matthews might get more, but we don't know that yet. And even if he did get 11, that just eats up almost exactly the 1 million in cap space I had left over. So it's not a back breaker here. Point remains that ditching Gardiner or Marleau isn't required to make it through the 2019-20 season.

And I certainly don't think Marner or Nylander took discounts in this. Not with comparables like Ehlers at 6, Pastrnak at 6.6, and Gaudreau at 6.7 million. Those extensions are about right, in my opinion.

Thread: The dman they need?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Doug7004</b></div><div>First of all Leafs aren't looking for another (terrible corsi (41)), slow of foot Left handed Dman! Hjalmarsson having a terrible year in Arizona, and they could be looking to dump either him and/or Demers. So I'd like to know what you think would be fair to Ariz. to bring in a guy that at best would be a 6/7 in Toronto? Garbage in/Garbage out!</div></div>

If the Leafs don't want Hjalmarsson, then Arizona isn't obligated to lower the price just for them. They could move him to a team that does want him, or ,you know, keep him.

Hjalmarsson is haing a terrible year, but he's not a terrible player. And if Arizona trades him, it won't be to "dump him". They would want something worth while back. This is just a collection of borderline NHL talent. In other words, a pile of garbage. And I'm a Leafs fan.
