Thread: Goodow to TOR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>Not really a fair take here...

At the right cap hit, and utilized the proper way (either 4th line or 3rd line-if 3rd line designed to have more of a defensive/shut down role) Goodrow is a pretty good player. Problem is, he is way overpaid for that type role. But at a Cap hit of 2-2.5M per, Goodrow would be a positive addition to most teams- especially the handful of teams looking at good possibilities going deep in their Cup pursuit.</div></div>

Not to be that guy but his analytics are bad and down from previous years. He isn't at a caphit of 2-2.5 hes at 3.6 and this proposal only retained like 600 grand. His decline has set in and he is still on the books for another 4 years after this. If he was a free agent last summer taking a 1M X 1 year deal to play on the fourth line could be justified, but getting locked into that contract is a death sentence when managing the cap. Hes the reason you couldn't resign Buchnevich, and i dont feel like being the team who has to trade a excellent player for diddly squat because we go after already declining, overpaid grinder depth defensive role players who are a dime a dozen every offseason.

Thread: Going forward
A ton of these signing are absolutely best case scenario if all the core are absolutely committed to winning a cup with Toronto.

Realistically speaking i dont think Nylander or Matthews take discounts anywhere near what you've suggested here.

If Nylander continues to be a 30 goal ppg player he would get offered a lot more than 7M, and he would be a fool to accept a long term deal that doesn't give him a raise. When factoring in the increased salary cap this is him taking a huge pay cut just in terms of his current contract. Who believes Nylander is going to take a paycut?

Matthews is going to get offered huge money from a team like LA if he gets anywhere near free agency. He is going to be 26 years old when he is eligible to sign a new deal as a UFA. What team with 14M million in cap space isn't going to offer him that kind of money.

I still think there is a good chance we hold onto Matthews and Nylander but there is no way they take contracts with low of an AAV.
