Tavares is out or way reduced after next year.
the 4 horsemen are driving the market up being greedy
Fire Dubas, wait…
If the Leafs keep Tavares and Marner, they're insane! Move ahead with Matthews and Nylander as your top forwards, then use the money you're not spending on Tavares and Marner to get a top defenseman, and add more depth.
But, you know they'll bring back both Tavares and Marner, and screw themselves over again. I don't know how people can cheer for this team
Yea the leafs are not going anywhere with so much of the cap tied up with only a few players.
They Have To keep Tavares!! He does a lot behind the scenes on the ice but never gets credit for it
I believe the problem for Leafs fans is that their core 4 is ALL forwards, and they don't see balance.
Excellent video as always!
It's amazing the level of delusion I've seen from some leaf fans in comment sections thinking this isn't gonna be an issue.
I've never seen a team so committed to a failing formula
Leafs still need a goalie tho 😂
Toronto might be dishing out contracts more than a lot of other teams in the League can, but they're having an effect on other team faced with negotiating contracts for their players. You look at Ottawa that has a ton of guys signed to huge contracts who have done nothing. Pettersson desperately either needs to play on the Lotto Line or have a skilled winger on his own line, but if he signs a big contract it makes it difficult to afford that much needed player on his line. Meanwhile, at least until the end of next season, the Leafs will again be the team of the Fabulous Four, Rielly, and a bunch of guys who will have trouble taking that next step as a team, with the massive roster turnover twice a year (offseason and trade deadline).
Queef fans can argue and to try to justify it all they want , most people learn from history , not these idiots ! Besides Eichel and the Knights no teams ever won a cup with a player making $10 mill or more , and for good reason . Worst blueprint I have ever seen and I hope the reup big time on marner and tavares and don't win for another 8 years 🙂
Can anyone else see Willy’s productivity fall of the face of the earth now that he got his money? That’s guys don’t give a fuck about winning, they just want to rip around in there lambos in the offseason. 4 months ago leafs management was talking 9.5. Unfortunately they let the last 37 games completely change there outlook on a player they’ve had for 8 years…
As much as I love this awesome game. My pea size brain cannot comprehend these numbers to pay these players. I just don’t get it
Go Canes!!!
Does Treliving negotiate at all or just hand a pencil and paper to the agent and say "what will it take?" … look at the Huberdeau and Weegar deals.
Leafs fans: where are you getting this cap?
Worst Team Building Plan in NHL Salary Cap Era.
Big Salary + All Non Mouvement = Definition of All in into a no Playoff Result players.
Tell me you don't want to win a cup without telling me you don't want to win a cup.
It’s not that other teams can’t offer these contracts it’s that other teams are trying to build a full team not have 4 players take up almost if not more than 50% of the cap. Toronto once again will have to keep signing scrubs that barely contribute to the team. Cap might go up but that also means players will ask more too since the cap is going up. So the cap going up really isnt helping them.
Do signing bonuses count against the cap ? Is it really just the shock of getting all the money at once ? Is there a benefit ? (Yes I’m that stupid )
so what happens is teams stacked with 5-7 million dollar forawrds at 15-20 goals and 4-5 million dollar defencemen win cups. The leafs blueprint is wrong. You watch LA this playoffs. Trevor Moore has 17 goals at 4.5 million for 4 years. Nylander has 21. that's a FOUR goal difference for an extra 6+ million (next year) The cap era is about value for money. The Leafs are now getting the SAME production out of AM and WN for an extra 7 million, the cap raise next year. The model is broken and the organisation are happy to pay stars to keep foolish fanboys happy.
Screw it. Let's ride.
Alright
they can still sign 4 more forwards at 11.5M…And have only 8 skaters on the whole team…
How are they going to afford D men, a goalie, or any forward depth next year exactly?
Would be really cool if we can get more videos on like these on the current contracts for these franchises amongst the top roster players or random players and get predictions on potential changes to them
Leafs forever dumb, imagine signing Treliving after the shit he's done in Calgary 😂
the Leafs are up against the cap for the next 8 years. How do you build up the roster, what will happen to the first round picks if they wish to extend? Oh well, Nylander locked up is a great thing for the Leaf faithful.
I guess the Leafs won’t be winning anything for as long as this softie core 4 are together!
Nylander has gotten better each & every year, hitting 80 pts 2 yrs ago, 87 pts with 40 goals last year & this year, so far another step up. Is it an overpay? Yep, but he'd get more as a UFA assuming his production stays close to what he's done in the first 37 games. He is a game breaker on offence & seems to be able to score in the post-season & he's improved his inadequate defensive game to the point that he now gets time on the PK. He claims to love Toronto & repeatedly said he didn't want to go anywhere else. The Leafs could have had him at 10.5M aav had they moved on him prior to the season, but they didn't & now they're paying a million more.
They're one of the wealthiest teams in the NHL so why not keep your own home-grown draft pick. Tavares has one year left at 11M then that's off the books, so 25/26 will be more comfortable in terms of salary acrobatics. Can you win with 3 guys making 36M? Some say no, based on six 1st round failures until 2023, but I think it's more likely because of a constant lack of clutch 'money' goaltending that Andersen & Campbell failed to provide in game 7's repeatedly. The series win over Tampa last spring was Samsonov being better than Vasilevskiy. Then they ran into Bobrovsky, who morphed into 'Vezina Bob' game 5 vs Boston while down 3-1. Clutch goaltending matters beyond anything else.
I would have signed with Detroit instead
It seems like you were implying that these players are overpaid. Look at how much money the owners are getting.
Chump change compared to other sports. A towel boy in basketball makes more.
With this signing, we say bye to Marner. I think Nylander's a better player than Marner, not a better passer or defender, but better in the playoffs, better mental ,and better in a more general sense. But if we give Marner a huge double digit contract, I'm changing fan bases because the closest we come to the cup is if a player on another team that wins the cup is from Toronto.
Hopefully this means Mitch is gone.
if the potential bidding war for Nylander was gonna end around 12M, idk how the leafs would lose that. Leafs would have to match at 10.5. Not sure why mgmt thought this was a good idea.
Don't forget that comparable players on other teams will now want near this so it handcuffs other teams as well and those other teams never planned for it, the Leafs have a plan. The cap will be about $100 million in 4 years or so, just enough time to get solid D, and Woll and Hildabeast will both be in their prime. Everyone needs to stop with the short-sightedness, it takes time to get everything put together and the right players available at the right time. Locking up the core is magnificent, now they can focus on the D for the next few seasons while the goalies I mentioned are gaining experience and becoming elite. GO LEAFS GO
The regular season is 82 games. The officiating changes in the playoffs but the teams don't. I would rather enjoy the 82 with this core group that ever worrying about playoffs.
So only the base salaries count against the cap? the bonuses do not is that correct? is there cap to these bonuses? the league allows it?😊
Worst contract in the nhl. 1 good fluke year pay him on it haha joke. Should have traded him for a goalie. This year he will be good. Next 2 seasons 65 pts. Then you will buy this trash for remainder. Everyone should be fired for that signing.
Can u explain the system of signing bonuses and impact on cap to european Dude?
Toronto can't afford to get any more players, so these guys had better STEP IT UP! ABSOLUTELY STUPID MONEY! I STILL DON'T SEE THIS HELPING THE LEAFES!
Love Nylander, and he's my favorite player, but he's nowhere near $11.5M/year lol
I thought he lived up to the $7M/year contract he had before.
