Thread: buyers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>Garbage offer for Trevor Zegras.

And trading for Klingberg and Boqvist, Is a major mistake.</div></div>

Zegras is playing terrible, so if the premise is buying, Novak and Carrier make the team better. No they won't realistically buy, but if they did, the value isn't that far off for the way Novak is playing now and the way Zegras is playing now...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>svensk_forskare</b></div><div>ducks have so much extra cap space, and theyll accrue more as the season goes along... no reason not to pick up a few more picks for a contract they can bury</div></div>

and the klingberg deal is because why would we not use our extra cap space to get picks? what purpose is there to letting 10M of cap space go to waste? might as well add picks and bury him

Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Auston Matthews (4 Years / $13,250,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>So is MacKinnon selfish? They signed for essentially the same cap percentage (if 87.5 as expected Matthews is lower). You can say 4 years vs 8 and you'll be right, but flipside is Leafs locked in his core years without committing beyond them. 🤷</div></div>

i mean yes, mac was also selfish, in the sense that he could've taken a lot less to help the team. mackinnons raise pushed out plenty of other depth talent. like matthews, he's worth it, but the other difference is mackinnon got a cup already while playing for waaaay below market value, matthews hasn't been below market value since his ELC... its easier to accept mackinnon chasing money after getting a cup than matthews doing it before getting a cup, and i realize that is subjective
